Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thru MEdicaid waiver - if you have the waiver - you can get home accomadation. In some states, however, it must not be a permanent improvement. I guess a fence isn't permanent. We just put up a fence - we donot have waiver at this time. But I was told to save the receipt. I may be able to get it retroactively. It cannot hurt to ask your coordinator of services. Also, the Knights of Columbus enjoy raising money to help people with disabilities. It is NOT tied to religion.

The only thing is they have strict specifications, like it has to be 6' high, cedar wood, dog eared top, 1 gate and hardware for it, 4x4 pressure treated posts, the " good " side facing in. Which I think is all great and I'm in the process of getting estimates (you have to get three bids, and they take the lowest), but I don't want a 6 foot high fence. I have a beautiful country yard with awesome views and I don't want to chop it up with a fence. I'm torn -- because I know would benefit from it but I don't want to break up my yard. I guess I'll see what the fence guys say and take it from there Good luck . Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my county, the good side must face the public or one cannot get a permit. Also, six feet high is a stockade fence and they are not allowed to face the public road. Maybe that is a county ordinance? Or maybe the county or town ordinance will not allow this. Sara, We live in Onondaga County (outside of Syracuse, NY). I believe these are state requirements. I would love to put up a fence like you are describing but I would have to pay for it myself and I have way to many other things that would come before a fence. They want it this high so the kids cannot climb over it, and the good side in so there is nothing they can stand on to boost themselves up to climb it. They also don't want to have to come back in 5 or 6 six years when the kid is taller and stronger and more capable of climbing, and have to build another fence. I know this would not be an issue for my son so this is frustrating for me -- but I see their point. All this comes from the Central NY DSO office. patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Curious: is that a state requirement that the fence be 6 ft high, good side in? In my county, the good side must face the public or one cannot get a permit. Also, six feet high is a stockade fence and they are not allowed to face the public road. Maybe that is a county ordinance? Or maybe the county or town ordinance will not allow this. We just fenced - it took just under 300ft to fence only the " yard " part - not the woods. We used dog eared, weather treated wood in an open picket style, 4 ft high with a gate. The wood was 156 ft . Then we used 2inch by 4inch (what is called " dogwire " where I now live for another 200 ft. We have the wood gate in the front and a wire gate leading to the woods. This cost was just under $3,000 having a company do all of it. Bob dug to post holes - decided that he didn't have enough life insurance for when he dropped dead!!! The fence company used a gas auger to drill fence post holes.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Believe me we thought long and hard about waiting to see if we could get fencing done by ourselves or get funding. Finally we decided to wait on finishing the basement apt. and pay someone to do the fence MY WAY> Like you, Elie isn't going to climb. IF climbing is an issue, then another type of fence than the modified picket should be used. One of my neighbors put in a 3 rail horse fence and then put black vinyl/wire fence on the inside so neither child nor dog could climb it. Hers is also 4 ft. It is really nice looking but was determined that I wanted a picket fence - will have roses on it by next year and vines on my cottage - isn't that every girls dream?? I did give up the white part though - had dreams of Tom Sawyer having to repaint and this stage of life is supposed to be maintenance free!!!
