Fence - House
===============

We got into the beamer
And we drove a long way
Just to listen
To what he has got to say
Here we go
Lets go get the house
Out of the drummers head
Make him understand
Hes wrong about that
We got into the pool
And we swam a long way




Just to see
What shorts shes wearing today

Overall Meaning

The song "House" by Fence seems to be about a group of people who are determined to assert their collective voice in order to bring about change. The first verse mentions a trip in a BMW to listen to someone's message, possibly a leader or an influential figure. The following lines seem to suggest that they are on a mission to convince someone, perhaps a drummer, that he is mistaken about something. It's unclear what that something is, but the sense of urgency in their mission is palpable. In the second verse, the same group is seen swimming in a pool, maybe taking a break from their previous endeavor. They seem to be eagerly observing what someone, most likely a woman, is wearing in a way that could imply objectification. The last line of the verse is a bit of a non-sequitur, but it seems to be pointing to the fact that even in a seemingly idle moment, they are still laser-focused on their goal. It's possible that they are brainstorming how best to reach their objective, or perhaps they are anticipating victory in their previous or future mission.


Overall, "House" appears to be a song that is imbued with a sense of determination and action. It's not clear what the specific mission is that the singer is focused on, but it's obvious that it occupies their entire attention. The lyrics are short and laconic but manage to convey a certain stirring sense of purpose.

We do it in Florida because after hurricane Micheal, every homeowners insurance denied the fence replacement cost because it wasn't attached to the house. Every fence we install the owner ask to have it attached because their insurance company stiffed them. We still put a post next to the house, whether it's wood, chain link, or vinyl.

Omg wen I was watching the video and looked at ur comment cuz I’m in Florida and I do Fencing so we kno hurricanes are no joke but yea Michael we tapcon the post in the home owners walls

Yeah it's rare to find an insurance company that's really out to truly serve the customer.
Florida has a ton more wooden framework then you would think.

Chris Huber

That's funny! Like that's gonna keep your fence anchored to the earth.... 🤣. Criminals. They'll find any way possible to not do their job and screw you over. In all fairness though, Florida rarely uses wooden framework in their houses right? Metal studs and cinder block walls? If so, then there's no risk attaching to the house and would be the obvious choice. 🤙

Sounds like they need better adjusters and attorneys. We routinely have fences replaced under a homeowners policy. Here's some reading straight from Progressive on the matter.

A lot of houses where I’m at have 6” drain lines running around the house. In some cases when the job calls for 4x4 you have no choice but to attach unless you want some hokey small panel (like the one in the video). Certain styles of wood fence you can face nail and get around it but sometimes there’s no other way but to attach

@SWI Fence Agree to disagree. No biggie tho. To each their own. Still love the channel!

SWI Fence

We will have to disagree. I have yet to see anyone address the potential for moisture penetration, make sure they anchor to studs, or in general make this look good. Every time we see it, its a cobbled mess.

We offered several ways to accomplish this without drilling into a foundation. They did miss mentioning the optional Z post though which steps over the foundation/drainage or whatever with no need for funny little sections or drilling of concrete.

It should also be noted that we are talking about bolting a plated post to a footing. If that causes failure in the concrete, there were problems long before we arrived.

I haven't had drain tile be an issue yet, but you have a good point. I did have some conveniently end right where I needed the hole recently though.

Love the channel, but I’m going to have to disagree with this one. 1) Faded paint or brick shouldn’t be a thought. 30 years from now grab a power washer and move on. 2) Holes in the brick can be filled with a 4 dollar silicone tube. lags into the house are 1/64 smaller than the fastener, interface fit probably get more moisture from condensation on windows. 3) we aren’t drilling into someone’s foundation, I don’t want that liability.

… you still build beauty fences. But lagging into a house isn’t as bad as your making it out to be.
