Gates

Let's talk gates! Ordered a fence 2 months ago, they showed up early last week and put the fence in.We had to rearrange our schedules to be there without prior notice. But we were so excited because our dogs would have a place to run. After the fence was up they told us our gates were sitting in St. Charles, MO, but they would be back the following day to install them. They did not show up the next day and it wasn't until we called that they told us they got stuck on another job. So our useless fence would sit just one more day. The next day, however, our gates that were sitting in St. Charles are amazingly now on back order and it would be three weeks before they could put them in. They had the nerve to tell us that we should be happy because they got the fence up 3 weeks early. Remember, it is a fence that we cannot use for the dogs because they would escape through gateless gates. I thought my husband would blow a gasket. So fast forward to today and the fence people randomly call to tell us they are putting in the gates today because,(you guessed it) they picked them up n St. Charles. They are putting them in as we speak, but as luck would have it, these aren't the right gates and they will have to jerry-rig them to fit in the space until they get the new ones. My kingdom for a working fence!
