Q: How do you replace a fence post without removing concrete?

• <div><p>Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won&rsquo;t be as sturdy.</p><p>That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won&rsquo;t work well for metal posts.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</p></div>

Q: What gauge is hog wire fencing?

• <div><p>The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire. </p></div>

Q: How long does a wood fence last?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">Wood fences last</a> an average of 15 years but can have a life span of 20 years or more depending on the type of wood used, your local weather, and how well you maintain it over the years. Pine fences will only last five to 10 years if untreated, but pressure-treated pine fences will get you to 20 years. Cedar&rsquo;s natural resistance to the elements lends it to a remarkable lifespan of 40 years or more. </p></div>

After the "shrug off" we received from AVH we took the cat to Stroudsburg Animal Hospital for treatment. I think AVH needs to change their name from a "hospital" to AV$$$ to better inform the public of it practice and care it provides.

"Janice and Chris were very prompt. They were able to troubleshoot the problem with the inground fence which they repaired. Took care and making the repair and did so in a timely manner. They were organized and took away any debris that was left from the repair. They went a couple steps further and made sure that the wiring was secure within the system in my garage. Their rates are reasonable, which I appreciate it since we are senior citizens. They also gave me a couple of tips. I definitely recommend them and if I have any future problems or additions, I will certainly call them."
