Our fence is junk?!

What the heck?!

We talked to one of the developers in our neighborhood this past Saturday while we were out touring our up-and-coming neighborhood. He mentioned all of the difficulties he's been having trying to appease everyone's expectations relating to code. Well, during his talk he happened to mention that a few of our neighbors (4 or 5 according to him) have already called him to complain that our fence looks "trashy."

TRASHY?!

They also complained that because our fence is trashy, that they're property values were being affected.

What we've done...

Tracy called three local real estate agencies (one of which has scheduled to do a free assessment of our property sometime this week) and they've all informed us that any fence will add value to a property, never decrease value. However, that a vinyl fence would actually increase that value quite a bit more. They were flabberghasted that anyone would complain that a white picket fence would look "trashy" or that it would devalue anything?

The primary reason we chose to go with vinyl is because it withstands weathering a lot better than what most everyone here is installing, wood or aluminum (yeah, some idgits have installed aluminum, like that won't rust!).

So what do y'all think?

BTW, I've uploaded pics of the kids playing.
