The Fence...

Apr 13, 2015 11:22

I have been rehabing the fence for a while now.  What has been holding me back is money.  I hate spending more than I have to on materials and any time I can get tem on sale... Well that's a happy day.  A couple of times a year pickets that are $1.58 a piece are reduced to $1.25 or even lower.  33¢ Is that all?  Well considering it takes at least 16 pickets per section and there is 51 sections that's 816 pickets($1289.28 vs $1020.00).  That's $269.28 saved.  Since I am increasing the rails from 2 to 3 and replacing any ones that are rotted... that's where the savings is going to.  Now I have already completed 6 sections on Lyons Side of the house when I moved it leaving 11 more to complete.

I have been hoarding some gift cards and I felt it was time to spend them when I received a $25 off $250.00 purchase coupon and the Pickets were on sale.  That's like $25 of free money.
  • Gift cards - $137.50
  • Coupon    -   $25.00
So my out of pocket cost for 200 pickets was $100.39!  There is enough here to complete Pysco's side of the front yard and finish Lyon's side!
