There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don&rsquo;t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you&rsquo;re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.</p></div>

Had the fence stained/varnish. I figured it would take at least 2 days because our yard is very big. Saul arrived early in the morning and was completely done by the afternoon. My fence looks GREAT and makes me happy to see the red stain color out my kitchen window.
