  • Can’t promise you much but…

    You could maaaaybe look at your State’s Department of Transportation (So like TXDoT for Texas) and find their Bid Tabulations, get an average for 8’ Wooden Fence Repair or 8’ Fence Installation for this quarter, put it in a spreadsheet and multiply it by values between 1.0 and 2.0 (so 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc) and that can be your controlling range for price escalation for a private homeowner instead of a mass purchaser. It should be per linear foot.

    You multiply those values by your total linear feet to get a total estimate and see if the quotes you get from installers in your area that are within that range, and where they are within it. Look up the companies that you can get quotes from and their reputation if any, and try to pick someone in the median of your range.

    If your local municipal entity, city or county etc, has worked with them, that would be phenomenal but those often don’t do private homeowners for clients.

    Best of luck.

    R.H.

    Yes this is close to my route as well. 90’s and 2000’s webcomics (Penny Arcade, Megatokyo, Looking For Group, Ctrl Alt Delete) and sprite comics (Bob and George), then to Manga Scanlations, Anime fan subs then Manwha, and the occasional Manhua. Currently destroying my neurons by wading through Isekai manga and Regression Manwha power or revenge fantasy nonsense.

    But thinking back, those were fun days. The fun continues of course, just have to keep panning for new gold with new authors.


  • So in this painting, there’s a poster for a real movie called “A Kind of Loving” and now I’m curious if this is depicting a scene from that movie, or at least the two characters from it: Vic and Ingrid. When you look up the title “Memories are Made of This”, you get a Dean Martin song, so maybe it’s a combination of that song and that movie and a scene that never happened. It’s strange to say this but it honestly draws me into the world of the painting and makes me want to watch the film.
