A 75 year old grandfather installs his fence single-handedly<\/p><\/div>\n

“I found that if you read the instructions including Murphy’s Fence Laws*,\u00a0 which are very clear, before beginning your fence it becomes a very\u00a0 easy installation.<\/em><\/p>\n

I read the instructions regarding how to\u00a0 figure what you need to order and started out with a portion that I felt\u00a0 comfortable with, about a 1\/4 of the total order.\u00a0 I wanted to be sure that it was as easy as they said.\u00a0 When it arrived on a\u00a0 Wednesday late in the day, I unpacked the boxes to check the order.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Day 1<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u00a0 must understand that I am a 75+ year old man who had a heart attack\u00a0 just 7 years ago and I was in the real estate business all of my adult\u00a0 life running a large firm.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Thursday, I started installing the vinyl\u00a0fence and much to my surprise I was able to install all 6 sections in 1 day.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Day 2<\/p><\/div>\n

I then ordered the rest of my fence and when it came, I was able to finish it in <\/em>2 1\/2 more days.\u00a0 I must admit that my daughters were concerned about me doing this by myself, so on the last day and a half, they sent one of my grandson’s to help.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only was it easy, but it replaces a chain link fence that was rusting and falling apart here at the beach.\u00a0 The hardest thing\u00a0 I had to do was remove the old fence and posts buried in concrete.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now I am just sitting back having a little wine and cheese and watching Duke beat Michigan in the NCAA tourney with my grandson Ben.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congrats to Mr. Allen, WamBam’s oldest known customer!<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s a big pat on the back to Mr. Allen of Salter Path, NC, for single-handedly putting up a WamBam Fence at the age of 75! You really do deserve that glass of wine.<\/p>\n

…and as fellow state residents, we’re cheering for Duke with you.<\/p>\n\n\n
