"Awesome redo. The $$ of those has to be a bit?h."

You know I come off as a downer when I tell people "don't put up thatch outdoors in this area"
It is such a waste of money and time as it lasts only a year or two.

Doing it the way you are is so smart, sure it costs a lot at the start but those will be still there when you are dead unless somebody rips them out.
AND let me tell you as a guy who used to be the one on the shovel and doing all the bs hard work you do get to a point where you can't do it anymore.

It blows you away not to be able to do it, but it does happen.
Just think of the cost when you have to pay somebody else to do that for you.

The fence we are building would cost every bit of ten thousand dollars or more if we had somebody else do it for us.
Plus they would not let it weather for a year, then take it apart and paint every part of the fence even under each slat and then put it back up.

So do it now while you can and enjoy it for the rest of time.
The time you save by never having to do this again can be spent on other more fun stuff.
Or heck just drinking and looking at all of your hard work and how great it looks.

Great job!!
