Fence description: <br />This is an all-wood privacy fence spanning ~70 ft on the rear portion of the west edge of the <br />property at 1721 E. Wayne Street, South Bend, IN 46615. The fence begins in-line with the <br />sunroom, setback roughly 14.5 ft. from the front of the house and terminates in-line with the <br />neighbor’s rear garage corner. <br />The fence uses #2 pressure treated fence posts spaced at 8 ft. intervals. The fence planks are <br />red cedar. There is a 2 in. air gap between the lowest board and the ground. <br />Posts:​ Standard pressure-treated #2 posts <br />●4”x4” (3.5”x3.5”) x 10 ft., 4 ft. in-ground, 6 ft. exposed. 8 ft. on-center spacing between <br />end posts. <br />●Two end posts at 4”x6” (3.5”x5.5”) x 10 ft. (4 ft. in-ground, 6 ft. exposed) posts will be <br />used at the beginning and end of the fence for added lateral structural stability. <br />Boards: <br />●1”x6” (13/16”x5.5”) x 8 ft. red cedar <br />Materials cost estimate:​ $2,000 all materials; labor is uncharged by owner-as-contractor. <br />●Cost is based on current pricing from Menards and includes overage material. <br />Window description: <br />Location: Upper (2nd) floor rear windows with no front street visibility. Windows face northerly <br />rear property line. <br />Cost:​ ~$2,900 <br />The ​current​ windows are non-original Pella (i) aluminium-clad (ii) double-hung (iii) wood-frame <br />(iv) single-pane with (v) removable storm windows, with (vi) traditional grids on upper sash only; <br />they are roughly ~35 years old. The single panes' thermal inefficiency (high emissivity) causes <br />significant moisture condensation on the window and has led to damage on the interior wood, <br />peeling paint layers including exposure of lead paint. The interior sills and trim are original <br />hardwood. <br />Replacing​ the windows with identical dimension and color Pella “Lifestyle” series (i) <br />aluminium-clad (ii) double-hung (iii) wood-frame (iv) dual-pane (v) IGU wood windows with a (vi) <br />traditional grid on the upper sash will eliminate this problem. <br />Exterior picture of windows is included separately. Below are pictures of the interior damage <br />due to condensation.
