How long is your garden for it to cost £3k to fence??

140ft

2 companies quoted that figure on Saturday, but will get more quotes. Apparently it's because they have to dig out all existing concrete posts. And since I'm on a corner and the fence is roadside, I need a sturdy 6ft fence panel and not the flimsy ones I'd use on other sides.

You will have to get out quick. It will turn to rain around 9am and will soon melt.

Thankfully no sign of rain here yet. Picture can’t make it out but it’s still pretty heavy snowfall still. I’m probably more excited than most.B4BB89B7-C9C1-45C6-B49F-EC7ADA42047E.thumb.jpeg.3628f423f818fe69f32de1947208effe.jpeg

£3K seems about right, most places start at 50 quid a metre of fence, adding in new posts, will take it up to 60. So at approximately 46 metres at 60 a metre brings it to £2,880.

The first pic you posted looked very familiar to me. I am newcastle based as well so we could be neighbours for all we know.

Thanks. Useful to know (if somewhat disheartening).

Fuck this weather. Bored shitless. Football cancelled because of it, can't really go out in this. I swear the windy storms have all waited until the weekend to appear.

You're not that far from me - it's really sunny here. Think you might get the same shortly.

I can't remember the last time it wasn't windy. Gets on my tits more than any other weather. If it gets the Heaton Moor market cancelled tomorrow I'm going to be fuming.

It's the worst. Rain serves a huge purpose, snow can be fun but wind? Fuck off, no redeeming qualities barring a bit of wind power.

Yeah the sun has come out now. So I'm in my second set of clothes for the day (after my last lot got soaked and caked in mud checking the pitches) and about to at least get some shopping done. This weather is karma for how shit the country has been over the past few years.

Did you get hail just before that? That's what we had.

EDIT: Well, that sun went bloody quickly. Now grey and hailing like fuck.
