In this situation, the promise to fix the cracked board in the fence and the completion of the job by B can be considered as fresh consideration. B has provided a new service that was not originally agreed upon, and A made a new promise in response to that service. Therefore, A owes the extra $5000.00 to B upon completion of the job by September 1.
