98% of lawns in New England are immaculate right now, just saying

From the street, yes.

[Ted Striker]

is it pronounced loom or lome? I've heard it both ways

A lot of morons in the construction/landscaping world around here say loom. Loom is used to spin cloth, not grow grass. People that say loom usually also refer to digging a hole as "esscavating."

I've had trememndous luck with Scots EZ Seed. It's low maintenance.

isn't the EZ-seed for filling in patches?

after killing myself for 4 hours yesterday and only getting about 1/3 of my yard done i called in the brazilians

tomorrow they're going to finish up what i started for $180...championship

my ATV isn't that big.

I'm still waiting for it to rain so my grass can grow. Where the fuck is all this rain?

Sincerely,

I had a guy come do an estimate to fence in my yard last weekend and he just called me and said he's trying to see if he can get it lower for me. He said its close to $10k

I was thinking 5-6 tops although I really had no idea.

[BS1]

what kinda fence?

How long?

How high?

I know a couple fence guys in the biz....

[mcm]

white vinyl

6' in the back about 100 feet.

4' spiked up the sides about 65 feet each side and a 4 foot gate on one side

[BS1]

i'll do some looking tomorrow at work and see if your dude is in the ballpark.....

and also give you the names of some fence guys I know....I'll shoot u a PM

ok, im slow at work today and bored...im gonna do some research for you (not like you haven't done any already, lol)....who did you get the quote from?

$40/LF seems pretty high, even for me when I am putting together schematic budgets......did he break out is labor an material prices?

[mcm]

I'm still waiting for the hard copy, we talked over the phone. Its gonna be $9300 for everything. He said I could save $1000-$1500 if I got wood instead of vinyl. But the wood lasts only 15 yrs. Its a guy and his brother who worked for a fence company for years and now do this on the side. They are like 50 yrs old. They did my neighbors fence and it looks great. He got the 6' privacy fence all the way around. He has a pool though.

[BS1]

vinyl is the way to go for sure....
