Ouch.

We're getting ~181 ft. of fence replaced after a strong wind blew it down. One of my neighbors is doing the job for $4900 (≈ £4,003).

$4900 ÷ 181 ft. ≈ $27/ft. (≈ £22/ft.)

I guess we're getting a good deal. But he's giving us a discount because we're neighbors. I wonder what the price difference for lumber is between the U.S. and U.K.
Add on the airfare and travel expenses for me to hire your neighbour and my deal looks the best
