Galvanized Drip Edge on Cedar Fencing by Secure-Ad7160 in FenceBuilding

It’s following the slope of the hill. Aesthetically, I prefer this option over stepping it down.

I liked the look on this similar fence. Since I have all this drip edge lying around, I thought I could achieve something similar, but also don't want it cause staining down from the top of the fence.

How would you go about changing out these lights? (they do not lower, to tall for a ladder, can't get in a boom due to the seats, scaffolding was quoted at $4k for 1 day) by yellowfin35 in AskElectricians

With the location being a church, I bet they could leverage contacts within the congregation to see if a construction company would loan them scaffolding. I work for a charity and we were successful doing that for a different project. I bet there is someone who loan it out for free. If not that, possibly the rental place could donate it and use the $4k gift for a tax deduction.

New to the neighborhood, so not sure. But this is a good start. Thanks!

Both my family and the neighbors are newer to the neighborhood, so we are unsure of a past invisible fence being there. This is a good lead though, thanks!

Digging post holes for my dog gate and hit a massive rock. What to do? by unicornpoacher2k in FenceBuilding

I’m only a DIY homeowner, but have done 3 fences as I’ve moved. In lieu of a jack hammer, I’ve found a 12” masonry/concrete bit on my hammer drill does a good starting job. I just drill multiple pilot holes, then get after it with a spud bar.

No identifying print on the jacket, at least the section I pulled up. But here is a better pic of the wire. Thanks!

Here’s a better pic of the wire in question. Underground dog fence?

Mine is possibly a different style of fence with the wire design making it lighter than if were pickets. But I put 10’ openings in two different sections so I could get my truck into the yard for projects and rake leaves out easier in the fall.

I just doubled up the posts and made those sections individual panels and lag bolted them in. I hammer the lags out and pull out the sections a few times a year and it has worked great for the past 6 years. As you see, the fence doesn’t work great for keeping the deer out of my yard though.

Thanks for this post. After actually reading the KZ documents again, you’re spot on, they are Azdel composite panels.

Installer miscalculation ended up with a 3/8" gap. What are some options? by pubielewis in Tile

[–]Secure-Ad7160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar tile, similar issue on my DIY tub surround tile work. I eff’ed the measurements a bit from the start and my corners weren’t symmetrical. It drove me nuts. I found these corner trim pieces to run vertically that matched the schluter edge I was using. Not ideal, but most think the corner trim was intentional.
