When the new CDC is built, we’re going to need a fence. That cost isn’t covered by the money we are currently raising – it’s a separate cost. I’ve been percolating* on ways to raise that money, too, but have had no idea what a fence would cost. A thousand dollars? Twenty thousand? There was just no way to know except to contact some fence places and ask for a quote.
The problem is, I don’t know the dimensions of the lot. I figured I’d just research some fence places so I could write to them when I had the information. Well, my first hit was a home run! To request a quote, you use Google Earth to find your lot, draw your fence (it tells you how long it is!) and select the type, color and height. Pretty dang nifty!
Ignore my crooked line. I was tired.
* How do you pronounce this word? Perk-o-late or per-cue-late? It seems to me like the coo-pon/cue-pon thing.
Brad says
That is interesting. Do they also do curtains using Google street view?
Is the price closer to one thousand or twenty thousand?
Lauren says
Ha! I laughed out loud!
I think for what I priced, $15,000 seems like the sweet spot. Lloyd doesn’t trust this and thinks it should be twice that. Lloyd’s fence will be made of gold.
Lloyd says
One thing that might add on to the cost of the fence is having a back to it.
Lauren says
Doofus. That’s where the building goes.
