- I also would like to put up a goal (on a post). My concern is that we don't
- plan on living here more than 4-5 years at most. How much of a negative is it
- to have a goal in front of the house when it comes time to sell? It seems that
- removing it might be difficult, since it is sunk into a block of concrete.
- Unless the prospective buyers had kids, or liked to play, I would think it
- might turn them away. Any comments?
