Q: How many hours does it take to stain a fence?

• <div><p>It typically takes three to five days to stain a fence, though most of that time is spent&mdash;literally&mdash;watching paint dry. The main issue is that you can&rsquo;t stain a wet fence because the stain won&rsquo;t sink into the porous grain of the wood. That means you&rsquo;ll need to wait 24 hours to stain your fence after you wash it and 12 to 24 hours between each coat. Most people spend about an hour staining per 10 to 20 linear feet. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to apply stain?

• <div><p>Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you&rsquo;re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around <b>four hours</b> between coats.</p></div>

Q: Can you make changes to your neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. </p></div>

Q: What color exterior paint fades the fastest?

• <div><p>Choosing the best color for your home exterior should factor in longevity as well as your personal taste. To keep your house looking newly painted as long as possible, stay away from red paint. Although red homes pop and are quintessential for country-style barns, red paint tends to fade fastest in the sun. Go with earth tones if you want paint that best resists fading.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint my chain-link fence?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-chain-link-fence.htm">paint a chain-link fence</a>, but you don&rsquo;t want to use spray paint. With the spray method, you&rsquo;ll be losing a majority of your product to the air, given the size of the gaps in chain-link fences. Instead, use a paintbrush for your fence posts and a paint roller for the wire.</p></div>

Seems that you shouldn't have to pay for decent water but in the town I live in the water is hard and full of bad minerals. And it's not going to improve! So after getting 4 estimates I went with Orbit Water. I loved that the company, Orbit, backed up their machinery with a lifetime warranty...

It was the worst move I've ever experienced. A crew of 4 showed up. One with experience and 3 without. They scraped and chipped much of our wooden furniture by moving it on hand-trucks without padding. They gashed walls and trim on both ends of our move. They put boxes clearly marked "Kitchen -...
