"Early Nov. 2014 - We called Jerry asking for a quote. He quickly responded and even came on a Saturday so my husband could be there. We found Jerry to be very knowledgable. He provided excellent insight into what we actually could and couldn't hope to achieve in our extremely small bathroom in a nearly century old house.

We are very new to contractors, contracting and best hiring practices.

We informed Jerry that we wanted to hire him. We explained that we would be seeking a home repair loan & asked for a written quote. Jerry explained that, due to the unknown extend of mold, it was hard for him to say what the total cost would be. So, he couldn't really write me a quote. He did say that, depending on the mold & the fixtures we bought - the job was likely between $6k and $12k.

Nov. 26, 2014: Loan completed - We immediately contacted Mr. Hunt to inform him and ask what could formally be done to secure his services. Due to a family member's hospice care and the holiday season - we stated that we would like to get started after New Years. We offered a deposit and Mr. Hunt graciously declined. He didn't ask for a contract to be signed since the potential cost was so varied.

Jan. 2, 2015: We met with Jerry and his son at Home Depot to coordinate our preferences and discuss design ideas. I had asked about replacing the tub with a shower and moving the toilet into the newly emptied space. I honestly take full responsibility for throwing out this completely new design idea - thus taking us back to the drawing board. AT THIS MEETING - IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Jerry & his son were absolutely amazing help to us as we navigated a wealth of options we had never noticed in bathroom decor before. Then, when I tossed out my radical idea - Jerry's son was quickly taking pen to paper and drawing as Jerry painted my thoughts into words. We agreed that Jerry would contact a plumber to assess the ability to move the toilet.

Mid January 2015. Jerry brought the plumbing company in to assess the potential toilet move. The plumber had several ideas & concerns to check on and did call me back in the following week or so with questions. Both Jerry & the plumber were to meet, go over the results of their research and then contact us.

Over the next month, Jerry was having some personal matters that were slowing his progress. But, his Angie's list ratings for staying with a job were good. I insisted that he take care of what he needed to - but.....he always insisted he would get back to me 'next week'.

Feb. 28, 2015 Saturday: I called Jerry. I was hoping to find out what could be done to get this project going. Again, he was in the midst of recently happened personal concerns that required his attention - rightly so. I did hire Mr. Hunt in November and asked that we not start until January - due to our own family/holiday concerns. We have no issue with showing compassion. . Jerry apologized and, as I offered to start coordinating on his behalf - he insisted that, as general contractor, HE was responsible and would contact the plumber the following week. He firmly stated that he would call me back 'if not that week - then no later than the following one'.

I decided that I would wait for Mr. Hunt to make the next contact.

I never heard from him again.

Maybe I did something that chased him off? I can't figure it out though. We're fairly nice folk and we had cash to pay. Our question about moving the toilet appeared to be reasonable and that decision was done by early February and coordinated through contact directly with the plumber. Basically, whatever percent extra normally billed by General for such service would've been easy money. We were never told the issue was overbooking or job related. It's all just.....odd.

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.

In most cases, trees need to be protected from deer all year round. This is especially true if you want to protect small trees from deer or if you just planted some fresh, new trees. Once a tree is a few years old, you likely do not have to worry about protecting it from deer as it will be stronger and can handle a little damage.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences. 

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.
