RE: Good Fences Make Good Neighbors
Great article @finnian. Highly entertaining read with excellent points. Fences are a great way to reduce the 'question of boundary' in many cases where neighboring land is divided. I love the delivery of the info! You've also reminded me that I have a few hundred feet of split rail fence to fix. Wishing it was chain link now because carpenter ants don't eat metal..doh! Wind is also much more kind to fences that allow air to flow through it.
Thanks! It hasn't been seen much apparently though. I'm still boggling at how this platform works.
I had forgotten to mention the wind aspect. A lot of home owners buy solid fencing that has not been secured well. The installers use less concrete in the pole holes, make the holes too shallow, etc. Then in storms the fences fall over. It's one of the many scams involving fencing.
I think I need to get the attention of a whale? It doesn't matter. I'll keep writing and engaging until I catch the attention of one. haha
@finnian you and I both! I think I'm a few tutorials behind you on how to use this platform.
There is a local guy that built a castle about 20 minutes away from where I am, fully-equipped with a moat! Who needs a fence when you can build a moat?!
Jeff Cooper wrote a book about general personal security, and within it he had a layout for his ideal home. I gasped when I saw it, for it was the exact layout I had designed for my ideal home. My wife thought I was crazy because I ran into the bedroom to show her the image from his book.
Homes should be build like castles but without actually looking like one. You can still design a home without having blind spots for example. Homes can still be built with physical defense in mind without making them look like prisons too.
It can be done. I know you were joking about a moat too, but a mountain top cabin of mine will have a dry moat. You don't need water if you have concrete and fencing! :)
Thanks for the resteem!
