Fence Building in New Orleans

[PPHSfan]

Six foot tall wooden cedar fences are bringing 26 bucks a foot for construction in the New Orleans area. If you are replacing a fence destroyed by the hurricane, you don't need a permit or a license to do the job. There is approximately seven million feet of fence that still needs replacing. The cost for materials is about nine bucks a foot for EVERYTHING you need. Do the math. That is 17 dollars a foot to the "poor working stiff" that has to sweat building the fence. A decent crew of three "laborers", can put up about four hundred feet of fence in a day. Selling the work requires little effort, especially once you build a few. That's six thousand eight hundred dollars worth of labor for three "poor working stiffs" to divide daily. That's twenty two hundred bucks a day each after gas, food, and lodging. Now you will need to invest a few bucks in a level, a post hole digger, and a few hand tools. If you can't come up with enough to do that, then you can give me a call, and I will give you a job, a place to live, food on the table and a hundred and twenty five bucks a day to build them for me. (You can join the 113 others that I feed daily) I am throwing down a challenge for ANYONE who thinks they can't get ahead in this world.

Leave your family for a few months, go where the opportunity is, and do something with your life. Don't complain about the folks who have more than you do. Do something about it. Come get you some.

Twenty two hundred bucks a day for three months is one hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars kids.

I think your wives and kids can do without you for a few weeks.

I helped a guy from work replace his privacy fence last summer... #1 it was hot as hell, #2 it'd rain (which felt really good, until it stopped after 5 minutes, then it just got freakin' hotter)...

But the beer was good :D

If I was a college or high school kid i would have already been there for the summer. There is alot of money to be made.

Hah, they should sweat and toil to make you richer if they can't afford the initial investment. Nice touch. So who are you subcontracting for?
