Can't see the forest for the trees

[Park]

yes, pressure treated lumber can be used to prevent warping and rotting, but you also have to keep in mind that water could pool around the fence, making a mess of the yard. It's much better to allow run-off to pass under.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I'm not sure how type even relates to building a fence. "Not seeing the forest for the trees" is a big picture concept, I get that, but you either know how to build a fence, or you don't. If you're not all that experienced and DIY it is common to make mistakes, that's all this seems like it was. If someone points it out to him, he probably won't make it again with a similar project. My guess is that he does something unrelated for a living; nothing wrong with that, but at least he got out there and built it, ugly or not.

And he probably did it a lot better than some random "experienced" guy he could've payed to do it.

good golly, it would cost an arm and a leg to hire it out, probably pay for 4 people while only one or two actually does the work.
