    Yeah, the back of my house is very green and moldy this Spring. Lots of pressure washing incoming once it stops snowing.

    Saturday was the first day of spring break for us, and it started snowing and didn't stop until yesterday at some point. Was too wet to stick, but most snow we have had this winter.

    When you become the 51st state you’ll get to measure temperature in American degrees.

    Project complete. The whole thing went back together beautifully today. We'd finished building yesterday, but the wind was wrong for hooking everything back together. The wind was perfect today, light and from the direction of the neighborhood.

    Proposal for fence repair services,

    This repair can be completed for $60,000 Canadian, $750 per diem for hookers and blow and poutine. Pictures of hookers and 95% of project estimate due before work begins.

    Sign and return this binding contract and we may begin work sometime in the not-so-near future.

    If it's that fence you posted in the WDT, it's definitely one of those annoyingly complicated designs that look great... but fuck building that shit. Boards on both sides, spaced just so, and a lattice top with trim... OK Mr. Fancypants, the riffraff must be kept out of the estate.

    I hear hookers and blow and poutine party, I also hear you're going to need an on-site caterer. I humbly offer my services for the low price of material costs and a couple of hours in the hooker and blow bouncy castle.
