"I've known Darren Tyda for about 15 years. Overthe years he was not only a loyal, highly competent and hard-working employee, but he became a trusted part of our family. He started working as our property manager at 312 & 111 Woodley Road in Winnetka in November, 2014. Our grounds were over 2 acres and he oversaw over 20,000 sq ft of living space. He formally worked 40 hours per week, but was salaried so worked much more;even weekends and while we were away. He managed all our subs (HVAC, Crestron AV system, landscaping, electrical, alarm system, cable/DTV, Cellar Tracker, etc). Darren is much more than a coordinator of subs. He's extremely handy! Painting, staining, basic plumbing and electrical, manual/heavy labor, etc. If he didn't know how to do something, he would take the time to research the problem and either figure it out or outsource to the right person. He treated my pocket book as if it were his own, so I always knew that he would find the best value. In addition to property manager duties, he was my personal trainer. He also worked with my wife and kids. Post COVID we took the decision to leave Illinois and move to Park City, UT in 2021. Darren assisted in our transition here, and formally stopped employment in 2022. fI not for our move, Darren would still work for us. He made my life easier so Icould focus on my manyinterests. We miss him and all he did for us. Please feel free to contact me for any further questions. +1-312-343-1357."

Fencing FAQs, answered by experts

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

Common problems include cracks, warping, and loose panels. Regular cleaning prevents discoloration and wear.

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.

All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences.
