Reputable - as in having a good reputation. They are a large and
long-standing company. If they are not fully aware of the county codes
for the industry and area they've been working in for over 2 decades
then something is wrong.

The county already deals with the weed growth along the fence line by
"dousing it regularly with weed killer" and using a weed wacker.
Again, it's not our fence.

Rolling up the fencing may be an alternative... thanks for the input.

Well, obviously, something is wrong. I've never gotten a major construction
price quote without the person mentioning permits.

The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

Why do you think he's a jackass? Most chain link fences go right to the
ground, or pretty close. That would interfere with weed eater machines.

You already explained that the fence company couldn't stand between the two
fences to attach the panels correctly. If they can't work in between, how do
you expect anyone else to do so?
