Backyard Fence: I Hate It, But I Needed One

Being from the country, I was never inclined to like nor need a backyard fence. I thought they were ugly and made me feel locked in and shut other people out. After I moved into an urban area, I started to feel differently about them and saw more of a need for a backyard fence.

Your fence should provide you with many years of service; more if you make certain that it is adequately preserved and you carry out routine maintenance check-ups.

Wood Preservatives

If at all possible, buy fence timber which has been factory-impregnated with preservative, as this is considerably more effective in infiltrating below the surface of the wood than home applied treatments. When erecting a fence, any cut ends must be soaked in preservative for a day before use.

Spring will be here before you know it. Among other things, that means preparing your HVAC system for warmer weather. Since there is more to this than simply turning down the heat and turning up the AC, here’s a checklist of ways to prepare your heating and cooling system for the spring.

Change Your Air Filter

You should at the very least check your air filter every month to see if it needs to be changed. After running your heat throughout the winter, your filters probably need to be changed more often, so take the time to do that if you haven’t already this month.

Electric FenceJim and I are considering installing an invisible dog fence at our new house ( place yet to be determined ), so I’ve been researching the several choices when it comes to invisible fences. After the wire is secured about the corner post insulator we go along the fence line and start off operating it through all the other insulators till we get to the end corner post where it pulled tight and tied off. If she showed any type of aggressive tendencies or was inclined to aggressive show, I would not rely solely on an electric fence.
