What if you’re on the fence as to whether you should go for the chain link kind or the picket kind?

    I'd rather ride a picket fence than a chain link fence, if I'm going to ride the fence on what kind of fence.

    I'm gong to answer this in a serious manner.  It depends on the character of the house itself.  I have seen picket fences on the most rundown homes and they look foolish.  Clearly, that type of house calls for a chain link fence.

    Clouds and charming old structures are two of my favorite subjects to photograph!

    I'd be willing to bet that the cost of renovation would be prohibitive, but the shape and the bones of this house are beautiful.

    Yes, I imagine it would! I can't imagine being brave enough to take on something like that unless I were very wealthy!

    I agree.  Unless the structure is extremely sound, it probably wouldn't pay to put in that kind of money.  It is a beautiful house, though.

    Of course there's a basement!  I would definitely go with the picket fence for this house.

    How come no one has the ba**s to make that fence razor wire? This post was edited by Shuhak at September 5, 2022 7:34 AM MDT

    Jump off and get the wrought iron kind.

      Meh, for those few incidents where some of them manage to make it out of the sub-basement, wrought iron isn’t the best choice for perimeter fortifications. Grrrrrrr.

    I don't have to think at all -- I'll go with Pickett, for sure.
