I am at a point in life where my free time is significantly more valuable than money, especially something I don’t enjoy doing. My primary house doesn’t make me any money, so spending my time on it myself is very expensive.
Not to mention, the fence is shared with my neighbor, so the cost will be half. If I were to do it myself, my neighbor would be getting the fence labor for free.
So far the worse case price appears to be around $2200. So my part is $1100. There are cheaper alternatives, but considering the previous fence held up for almost 20 years, that’s pretty good.
