Building Fences
There are lots of stories about fences in history. Some fences keep out the bad guys, some keep in the bad guys. Some fences keep the nosey neighbors in line. I wanted a fence that was a little different than the ordinary fence. I wanted a fence that could be opened and closed anywhere along its length. A little bit more creative fence to make it more useful to me.
To do this project I called American Fence Co. in Prescott Valley, AZ. The estimator came by to see what I wanted to build. I told him my vision of the perfect fence for me. He freaked! Apparently my kind of fence was outside of his comfort zone! He only builds only one kind of fence. The permanant kind. Fences that don’t move, or that don’t work with the owner. There was no creativity in his soul.
There is something very interesting in this story. When you are in business, there will occasionally come by something that is a little out of the ordinary. In my business I see different things every day. Change happens almost momentarily. In order to survive in a business, you must embrace new ideas and try them out to see if they will work. There is never harm in trying something new. New ideas are what make us advance as a society. Could building a new type of fence harm society? I think not!
I am highly disapointed with American Fence Company, because they have no vision and no creativity. Because of my experiance with their estimator, I would not recommend them to build your fence. Look for somebody with vision and you will get a better fence. Leave your comments below and I will answer them!
