From what shows up in searches it appears many jurisdictions restrict fences to six feet tall.
There is also restrictions one what are called "spite fences." This actually can include hedges and...

One thing to consider when making a fence is how to make both sides the good side.
Back in the 1950s a fence between my folks property and the neighbor's used panels with the top and bottom 2X4s...
Good side out and distance off the property line may or may not be in city codes. Good side might depend on the person. For me, having the rails on my side made for places to set or hang flower pots...
You are not alone in this.
My trouble is setting them aside and then finding them years later and trying to figure for what purpose it was made.

Except in this thread, my current practice is to work on my own use of language and not chastise others for any alleged faux pas.
Though it sometimes amuses me to see our friends in other English...
The exceptions to the rules confuse some folks. The possessive its has no apostrophe the contraction it's does.
My own rule for verbs vs nouns (as in affect vs effect) is based on alphabetical...
The ladder is working like one plate of a capacitor. With AC, a capacitor may act like a resistor.
The other plate of the capacitor is the ground. My father showed me this principle many years...
In a recent rereading of my typing this error was caught and corrected. It made me think of making a graphic device for remembering the difference between words that sound alike yet have very...

Some of these phishing emails have come my way in the past. Not as much since reporting them to the fraud units of the supposed senders.
Paypal even stopped sending emails about their credit card...
Yes Michael, my thoughts as to what an Oxford Comma might be were somewhat correct. Today it was searched via Google. Before today it seemed it was an optional extra. After reading the page, my...
Make sure it is a good tripod. My Gitzo was made to support a heavier equipment, like a Graflex Speed Graphic 4X5 camera. Some tripods available at the time even struggled with a short telephoto...
To me the real tip off is the purchase price of $369.20 plus a transaction fee of $30 only adding up to $389.20.
Good thing scammers aren't smart enough to get the math right. :D

One member includes a list of favorite things, one of which is the Oxford Comma.
In my early years of education, teachers taught us to use a comma before and in a list of items. In later years,...

This arrived today and was applied to my grip ring (knob). It took a little quick work with a pair of scissors and all is well.
Looks like it will do fine. The 1"X20' option was ordered instead of...
The old analog, swing needle, meters on the good ones might have a resistance of 10,000 Ω per volt. Back in the day that was a very light load. Compared to a digital meter, it is huge. A digital...
