Contractors quoted $6,000. He did it free in three hours
A retired maintenance superintendent in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who goes by Uncle Jhonn on TikTok, rebuilt a neighbor's collapsed fence for free after spotting it from his truck. The single mother who owns the home lives with her own mother, whose car was totaled in an accident, and the family had been trying to afford a replacement for years. Contractors had quoted them over $6,000. "We all know with the state the world in right now, $6,000? You might as well say that's a million dollars," Jhonn said. He did knock first. "I didn't just jump out of my truck with a saw and start cutting these people's fence up," he explained, adding that the family was more than excited once he said it was free. The job took just under three hours and cost him $2,173.89, money he earns through TikTok. The video has been viewed more than 16 million times.
