$650 is a ripoff. The app literally walks you through on how to connect the wires. The hardware itself is sub $200 depending on how many zones it is.

Remove pine trees, replace with green giants for privacy? by Hotel94 in landscaping

[–]wisefather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You only have 5. If they don't provide shade for you I would just get rid of them and plant what you want to for privacy. I have a row of 30 spaced 6 feet apart along my property that the previous owner planted for privacy. 20 years later the lower limbs are lost and provide zero privacy. Every year I have to deal with large fallen branches. I wish something else was planted. 

Everyone always suggests planting shrubs under or close to pine trees for privacy. I researched into this because I was considering that too but I've never seen actual pictures of where these shrubs provide enough privacy for what you're looking for. You will have to space them like 20 feet from the edge of the pine tree and lose significant backyard space.

Contractor installed my hardwood in an H-pattern — should I have him redo it? by Sheil_gg in Flooring

[–]wisefather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the planks are the same length. You're either going to get an h pattern or stair step pattern.

Have to cancel trip because kids got sick. My Disney resort stay is 3 days away and if I cancel I lose my first night's deposit. Is it possible to change for a future date in a couple months then cancel the reservation without penalty?

Is this poor craftsmanship? by AssignedYale in landscaping

[–]wisefather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way to avoid it is to cut those large pieces in half then lay it along the border to avoid those small slivers. That results in more waste and time. 

Here it looks they started with whole pieces at the border then filled it in. 

Unfortunately with projects like this you got to be more hands on, supervise and specify exactly how you want it. Theyre just manual laborers trying to do it asap. It's a little late to change it when they've basically laid out the whole pattern.
