How NOT to Build a Fence

The boards that run the length need to meet on a post.  Plan your post locations so they match the board length.  Not only does it look bad, you loose a lot of strength.  Keep the distance between posts short for more strength.  For extra strength cut a notch in the post for the boards to set into (set the posts first so they line up). ALWAYS use rot resistant wood for the posts (Redwood, Pressure treated...)

How NOT to wire

Besides being a fire hazard (and illegal) taping wires together in a wall makes it very difficult to track down a future problem.  All wires must end in an accessible box of some kind (panel, switch, fixture, or junction).  Do not cover a junction with drywall. 


It is always best to let a professional do electrical work (if you do something wrong you may need a new house)!
