    I recently decided I wanted to extend the height of my fence posts. When I looked on-line I was shocked to see the prices of wood. I knew the prices had gone up, but.....WOW!! So I decided to do what you just demonstrated. Now I know exactly how to get it done using the posts I have left over from another project. And I'd love to see a video on how you capped off the posts. Thank you for another excellent video, Paul! And again, I'm glad to see you back and well!

    • @paulstoolbox
      @paulstoolbox  Před 9 měsíci

      The only problem with mitering the runners is they shrink over time, so your joints will separate. If you glue them with exterior wood glue they may hold up but it would take time. It would definitely look better though. Thanks!

    • @paulstoolbox
      @paulstoolbox  Před 2 lety

      Yes the fence is on my property side but I gave my neighbor the good side and decorated mine with Post. I’m very fortunate to have great neighbors all around me. I hear really bad stories about people all over with terrible neighbors, not saying that you have bad ones. Usually when neighbors get along they will split the cost of the fence. Most of the time the person who has the fence installed will put the good side toward them. If the finished boards are facing you, maybe the person before you put up the fence and you can do whatever you want. If your neighbor put up the fence with the finished side on his or her property you may be able to talk to him and put your fence boards taller or the existing rails and Box it like I did. Good luck and have a great day!
