I finally researched and found a local fencing company.
My husband and I were really excited to purchase a house with an abundance of property. At one time, the home was a working farm with cows, sheep and horses. They grew corn and hay. Unfortunately, the remaining barns and fences had been allowed to fall to ruin. They presented a danger as well as an eyesore. We originally planned to handle the removal ourselves. However, when we looked more closely at the barns, we saw that the roofs were collapsing, the floors rotted and the whole structure was unstable. We no longer felt we had the expertise or tools to safely complete the job. We hired a contractor who was also willing to haul away the debris. The contractor offered to handle the fence removal as well. Once again, we believed we could save money by making it a DIY project. We spent over a week working on getting rid of that fence. My husband and I got scratched by thorns, stung by bees, sunburned and came down with poison ivy. It was a slow, frustrating and nearly impossible process. The wire fencing was completely entangled in the vegetation and embedded deep into the ground. I finally researched and found a local fencing company. I called for an estimate and was amazed by the reasonable price. At that point, I would have paid just about anything to have someone else pull out the endless amount of fence. A crew of guys arrived with specialized tools and had all of the fence removed within a single day.
