I miss this show , I learned so much watching it back in the 90's . Todays DYI's are drama and side show crap and leave out the fine details of the job , Home Time was one of the best DYI series of all time.
holy cow! Takes me back to my childhood! haha yes I was the kid who used to watch hometime for fun. Miss these guys. Back when people watched TV to learn stuff. Now we have youtube lol. My how the world has changed.
I agree. This video is informative straight to the point. Empowering me with knowledge of Fence 101 & 201 so that i believe this IS a doable DIY. Thank You ALL, Very Much!
Thank you for the great instructions! Straight to the point, no boring chitchat, specific measurements, lots of tips. Best fencing video I’ve found so far.
I love their chemistry. Even if it's for the video, it feels authentic and real. They work together, man and women... husband and wife. Building something together that last.
What a naïve video. This will work for almost no one. You usually have to dig every hole out by hand. You guys are working with the most beautiful loamy sod that anyone would be envious to have.
Hello, I’d like to ask for your advice. I have a fence with 19 terminal posts in a straight line. The terminal posts are 2-3/8” inches and 6ft tall above the ground. They are embedded 24 inches down in concrete. Approximately 15 of these posts are not plumb. They are slightly not level. Approximately 5 degrees off. I have a top rail going. I have also a top rail bar that is tension banded between all of these posts. My worry is that over time the terminal posts will continue to tilt. Should I correct them now or is it not worth the effort? What kind of lifespan can I expect if they are going to continue to tilt? Thank you in advanced.
My goodness! It's amazing how many viewers think that the person who posted the video actually recorded it. People, this is a clip from an episode of an old home improvement television program called Hometime.
Really a good video. Thank you. Now can I get a woman like that at Menards? I like the way she speaks, carries herself and I believe she knows how to think. My bet is she can do just about any task given to her. I'll bet she can build a house, fix a car, and even fly an airplane. This video is really about her isn't it?
Jose Jolapeno o notice how she only blabbers...the hard work is ALWAYS done by the man. Besides she always speaks with "I did x", while the man always says " we did this"...she is not only useless but also a selfish narcissists that cant help but brag about petty work she is doing
don trump wow buddy you need therapy. Did you come here to learn how to install a fence? Upset a woman is doing some of the work with a man? Upset a woman is working or that a couple is working together? Will you still build the fence or did this ruin it for you? It's ok. I bet your name sake as soft hands too and just directions others to get their hands dirty.
don trump and the one guy proved your "I did this" is false and was said once or twice and he time stamped them. Go to the bar and whine about your ex.
Great video . I have a question , why did you leave out the tension wire that goes at the bottom of the fence and attaches to the very bottom of the chainlink fabric with wire rings ?
i noticed that too, they didnt run the guild wire along the bottom, some people thread it thru the fabric, other people use hog rings and hog ring plyers and attach it to the bottom
Colin Riley o notice how she only blabbers...the hard work is ALWAYS done by the man. Besides she always speaks with "I did x", while the man always says " we did this"...she is not only useless but also a selfish narcissists that cant help but brag about petty work she is doing
She probably is an old lady now, that video has to have been shot in the 70's or 80's LOL! But it was an informative video, better than the guys just videoing his project and not speaking.
Other than that there was some good tips in here so if you are doing a fence and have no experience give it a watch I just recommend digging holes putting your posts in then cementing the meanwhile you can still move them to make them plum
Digging with post hole diggers, driving posts and anchors -- might work where YOU live, but not on the rock farm I live on. I literally had to rent a mini-excavator to bury a deceased pet.
derrick robinson it's always 3 inches less than the hight of the fence say if you have a 6ft fence instead of marking 72 inches you mark 69 to make it exactly 72 when you put the cap on it
FrostbiteX definitely not true, grades in every yard varies, and with chainlink you have to account for the top rail and also leaving a little bit of the diamond sticking up past the top rail, so say you have a 4 ft tall chain link fence, usually you'd wanna set the post at about 46 inches, while also leaving clearance at ground level so they can still trim grass
Every American film would have you believe that all their houses are surrounded with beautiful white picket fencing.....When in fact 95% are trashy chainlink
dsantiago988 for them probably a week. we usually set the posts and then come back 2 days later and stretch the fence. all together the time that it takes to set them and stretch them is probably 4 to 5 hours
