Q: How often should I lubricate my garage door?

Job was done well and honest! They used a forestry mulcher on the skid steer to cut some trails in my 40 acre property. I was impressed and pleasantly surprised by how much was accomplished in a short time period. I will be hiring them again to continue with additional work on my property.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
