"On June 8th 2020 I purchased a 2006 vehicle from Walter D. Melevsky. This vehicle had been registered to Go Green Landscaping Inc as a commercial vehicle. Although there was no implied warranty Mr. Melevsky stated that the vehicle was in perfect working order and there were no issues that he was “aware of.” The Odometer read 72,273 miles when I took ownership of the vehicle. When the mileage read 72,580 (307 miles) The vehicle was sitting at an auto shop; with an as the mechanic said “utterly annihilated and completely blown transmission. That had sent pieces into the cooler.” The bill for this repair was $4,334.96. . When I spoke to Mr Melevsky he was immediately defensive and was quick to point out he sold the vehicle with no warranty and had no idea what I “did to it.” He offered absolutely zero compensation, and didn't even go as far to apologize that this had happened. After consulting with 7 mechanics about what unfolded here, the popular opinion is that the owner “had to have known. ” Specifically the theory is that the transmission fluid may have been changed out and the car let sit until someone came to test/buy the vehicle. Even an experienced mechanic (I took the vehicle to be looked at before purchase) would not have been able to identify this specific problem without disassembling the entire transmission which would not be feasible. The issue would become apparently after 4-6 engine hours. So in conclusion, whether Walter owner or GO Green Landscaping Inc acted nefarious is unconfirmed but likely. Judging by this companies other reviews he/they don’t seem to care much about customer service. Take your business elsewhere, and certainly don’t buy any vehicles from them."

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

You can install manual gates yourself. However, professional installation is recommended for automated or large gates to ensure proper setup.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.
