"They were outstanding in craftsmanship, timeliness, quality, safety, and inguinuity. Their ability to communicate and keep us advised was the best of any contractor that we have ever seen. Their pricing is good and better than most. The father and son work as a team. They always move with a purpose and worked thru some very cold and bad days when others pull back. We developed so much confidence in them thar we're moving forward on two additional projects as soon as they have an opening next month."

"Danny, didnt mean to give you the bad review, I am sorry. I thought I was writing a review for another company. I know good employees are hard to find and retain. If you remember I was very pleased with your work. I knew you were getting married and gave you $50.00 as an early wedding gift. I hope this will clear up any problems. Hope your marriage is going well and all are in good health. If I can be of help in the future please feel free to contact me. Thanks Larry"
 Another fine job.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Most landscape timbers are 8 feet long, but some are also available in 10-foot and 12-foot lengths. Choose the length that will allow you to install landscape timbers using the least amount of cutting to fit. Shorter timbers will allow you to more easily create angles and shorter plant bed sides.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.
