"We got estimates from several places. We wanted to do something a little bit unique but also inexpensive, and we were open to different ideas. Hal (who owns the company and I think is in charge of all the work) offered good ideas and design at the same price as other companies were offering something highly generic (we didn't want yet another dog-eared fence). The design incorporated both what we wanted, and ideas on his part that kept it affordable and added some interesting design features. He got the designs together, got feedback, and did custom woodworking of many of the pieces. He pushed us ahead of schedule to get posts in before we did some walkway work that we wanted to build in around the posts. They finished everything up later as planned, Hal was on site the entire time. We did have a problem with the design of one of the gates, it didn't match what we had discussed, but he saw the problem and redid that portion of the work. So, I feel good about the experience. The result is solid, usable, attractive, and was affordable. A minor complaint is that he did the cutting of treated wood on our lawn, and I'm pretty sure the chemicals from the sawdust damaged the lawn -- the grass still isn't as healthy in that spot. Also the curve of the arch didn't match our existing entryway arch as we had discussed, but I didn't really feel like making an issue of it after it had already been fully constructed. In retrospect for something very exacting like the curve of an arch I might want to lay it out on graph paper to make sure we had exactly the same thing in mind."

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
General contractors use subcontractors to complete specific parts of a construction project. For example, a general contractor might have construction experience but need a subcontractor to install plumbing lines in a new home.
If you don’t have a coping saw, you can use an angle grinder to cope crown molding, but it takes a little more precision. Place your molding down on your workbench, angle the grinder at a 45-degree angle toward the molding, and back cut the wood. You’ll need to carefully angle your grinder to accommodate the curves in the wood, and aim to remove around 1 inch from the profile of the molding.
Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw.
However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
