换fence，邻居....trouble maker

freshpoint

邻居insist in "hardwood" instead of the normal "treated pine".
she also wanted licensed tradesman (for timber fence)...too many restrictions.
it takes 3 months, still no decent quote
very hard to find tradesman doing "hardwood" fence.
大家帮忙看看咋办啊？？

邻居出钱不？

有意思
你这个邻居愿意花钱换硬木的围墙，是好事
我家那个2B邻居一分钱不愿意花。。。

thanks for sharing your thoughts.
anyone knows the definition of "standard fence" - I thought "treated pine" is the market standard after checking with so many tradesmen. in fact, hardly any will do "hardwood".
with my neighbour’s criteria, I don’t think we will have any luck getting a decent quote soon.  a $1,200 job may cost close to $3,000.

Pine is a soft wood.
Generally speaking, Trees with leaves are hardwood, Trees with needles are softwood.

你让他去找人quote不就完了，可以轮到你来各种刁难了。
