Thanks for input all. Mark, I've heard people around here say that fences must be "on" the property line, others say 6" off, and others say 12" off. Thats part of my question, since I see nothing...

Jim, yes what you quote from the KC MO rules is what I found - it addresses height only, not property line or shared maintenance. And yes, I called the code office multiple times with no helpful...

I am looking for what people in other jurisdictions have dealt with. I have always understood that, in my city, fences between homes were the responsibility of the homeowner who first puts it up. ...

I'd say that there is still a place in the world for english majors, but I'm not sure they even teach that kind of stuff anymore.

I am curious as to why you attribute this trend to the west coast. Poor education in this post-literate society is pretty ubiquitous. I remember having to explain basic rules of grammar to college...

I just signed up a couple of months ago and discussed things very carefully with the staff. While I'm eligible for care, I dont have service related injuries, so no free care. They told me that I...

One of the side effects of being dumb is being immune to sarcasm and irony. It's one pf mother nature's protective mechanisms.

I've used Penefin outdoor oil and Cabot's Australian Timber Oil for WO on outside projects. The natural color never lasts long. It goes to gray/black after a while anyway. A re-coat just preserves...

This is what I use: ...

Around here, periodic assessments have only a passing resemblance to actual value, and I've never heard of updates based on inspections of improvements.

I've had several, and killed a few. I'd leave it alone for the year and let it recover on its own. It can use the old brown vines to climb on. Mine die back every winter too, and sometimes I cut...

How about a clear waterproofing, like Flex Seal?

I've used drawer pull hardware for this, either basic or fancy. But agree it makes it harder to store. The routed slots are good too.

Well, with a little creative language, I used a hole cutter to make doorknob-sized holes in the panel on each large enough for the driver to fit through. So much for the clean elegant look of a...

I've used my biscuit joiner to make the pockets for the clip before. More justifiable than a domino.

Note, one of my worst mistakes, was adding a bottom panel on a table like this. It was...

More car washes than there used to be. It seems to me that they are being squeezed in on infill and oddly shaped lots that otherwise aren't useful for much else. My guess is that they're good...

I'm interested in the answer to this question too.

I often wake up wondering how it was possible to hurt myself while sleeping.

I've also used red oak to make some repairs to old white oak furniture. Careful selection will get you close.

As I recall the righteous scout leaders who did this in Utah thought they were doing a good deed by making the trail safer. Maybe the motivation of these new jerks will come out to be the same. In...

Andrew, was the exact vehicle you were interested in, actually available at all the dealers, or was it the same vehicle, just would be transferred from a dealer who actually had it on site? I ask,...

Not everybody learned that kindergarten rule about returning borrowed things in as good or better shape than you got it. So you have to judge the person asking. But it is hard to turn down family.

In a similar situation I used a pegged/wedged through-tenon. It also helped to make the long blank legs more interesting.

I checked my HF washer. Label says 13 amps, 1450 working psi, and 1.3 gpm.

Excellent. Great idea for Christmas gifts.
