In this week's episode John answers, a listener's question which comes from Imelda Morice. The question is as follows.     Imelda here from France, we spoke several months ago at the time of your 100th podcast!   We own a house and garden in Ireland, in Mayo on the coast, and we need to change the fence around the garden. I have never done this before and I am anxious to avoid mistakes that I might regret later. The present fence is made of timber, (I have photos if you wish to see them) it is 20 years old and collapsing in some parts. The fence is shared with neighbors, it is on a small estate. Wind is a big issue.   I would appreciate any tips or pointers you could mention during the podcast, what questions to put to the contractors, should I try to include any features which would be useful later, what shortcuts are possible or on the other hand should be avoided.   Hoping you can help me with this. I am still listening faithfully as I do the ironing!   Have a good day. Imelda       So, John answers this question and hopes this advice may help others contemplating doing a fencing project in their garden.   Also here is the link to the great episode on exterior painting as mentioned in the episode.    https://www.buzzsprout.com/857398/11085718 There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.
