It is about 30+ years old, been wanting to replace it but my back keeps telling me to “fukk off, I ain’t helpin.” Could be brother, I’ll buy all the materials + food and drinks (nonalcoholic beverages of course till it’s done). Anyone have extensive knowledge with chain link? This is my spring/summer project along with a new roof and outside paint, sounds expensive to me.

I don't know much about Chain link either, but I have a Truck and am willing to help to the extent of my physical capacity. Now a wood fence? Yeah, I know about those. I'm in.

Good: Going to HI 28 Mar to 10 Apr for free (thanks taxpayers). Don't even have to teach just observe the soldiers if they retained our training.
Bad: Wife can't go due to SNAFU with squatter occupied/trashed house in OR. (Read expensive)

Not sure if this is good or bad, going both ways! Been keeping ambulances on the road for close to 20 years, an actual rewarding and very satisfying job, and at the end of the day tomorrow will be the last. Been moving an entire lifetime of tools and equipment home over the past 2 weeks, come Monday a new business will on the paycheck header. Work will be a bit easier and more relaxed, but I will miss the all the items that are needed on an EMS unit, but not having to chase a miles of wiring or trying to find the failure in some node.

Both Whelen and Federal Signal made custom KKK approved flashers, but were prone to failure when subject to moisture since they weren't sealed.

This is my spring/summer project along with a new roof and outside paint, sounds expensive to me. what you need jim Ed taught me Thanks all, you guys are great. I have not formulated a plan yet but I would like to put up another cedar fence for the privacy for the new owners. Checked with a local Sawyer that has a lot of cedar laying around that he plans to saw them into fence boards. Once I have a concrete plan I will put out an SOS. .

Bad: Wife can't go due to SNAFU with squatter occupied/trashed house in OR. (Read expensive) I have a similar one. Good news: I fly out to Hawaii soon, and work is paying for it, including a nice room at the Hilton in Waikiki and some nice steak dinners. Bad news: I have to work the ENTIRE time I'm there, except for maybe a couple hours the evening before I fly out.
