I finished my basement following Jeff's methods and my homebuilder brother told me my level of quality was better than what his contractors use. I can't speak to his fence building prowess but his construction methods for basement finishing saved me tens of thousands and it is top notch.
I have worked in construction for 25 years and every video I stumbled upon of his is terrible advice. It may be that people in your area just have a really low standard for quality.
@@Nicball505 I've been in construction for 30 years, and I've stumbled across your work in your area, and I wasn't impressed with your quality.
@@blanketstarry7725 😂 that is a lame ass comeback.
@@Nicball505 It wasn't a comeback. Just because I am anonymous, you think I am not credible? What's your deal?
@@blanketstarry7725 I couldn’t care less what you think. I’m the best there is, was, or ever will be at what I do. All I know is if you think that fool in the video that’s being reviewed knows what he’s talking about, then you definitely don’t know the difference between crap and true craftsmanship.
the fence on my parents lot that they bought next door to their house, has got to be close to 100 years old! the house was built in 1908 that we demolished, and ide be very surprised if the fence wasnt original. its only a 4 foot fence, but its def old AF. i donno if its cedar off hand, but ya, its old, looks old, but is still sturdy and doing well.
why would you demolish a 1908 house? 😡
@@headcas620 cause no one has lived in it for 40 years and it was totally ran down, not to Mentone old homes like that are shit, there was newspapers for insulation, it wasn't worth saving
More than likely redwood, that stuff lasts forever and was common back in that era for building material
@@CaliGhost mmmm, i donno, im in wyoming, we dont have any redwood anywhere close to here, but i have no idea how the dispersion of redwood was back in the turn of the 20th century, so obviously its possible. im sure it was along those lines if anything. the fence wasnt primo condition, obviously, but it was in tatters, it was just a little leaning to the side, and pretty much weathered black an grey. now that im done writing a stupid mini novel, im sure youre right lol. either way, ive had an unhealthy level of fascination with fences lately, and i dont know why, i have a chain link fence

He probably meant 40-50 months.
Followed his guidance for years and never had any issues with his instructions.
I attended a 2 year residential remodeling program where you graduate with an associate's degree. Our first year carpentry instructor (who was very talented... and demanding) described what he called a "quality triangle", where one edge was "good", another was "fast/easy", and another was "cheap". He drilled into us that you can only achieve two of those edges, not all three.
This applies to so many things, like building cars!
Thanks for sharing this.
It's songs like you have a problem with him not just the work
@@anthonyc5003 Actually, I am a subscriber and fan of Renovision. However, there are occasions where Jeff's choices appear to be sub-optimal to me. I think he would have had a better result with using concrete for the posts as opposed to the foam product. This is a case where the fast/easy triangle vertex did not serve him as well.
Is carpentry hard I’m thinking about going to community college for it
To be fair, if you’re DIY all the crap that home renovision covers, his advice is usually pretty solid and understandable for the average Joe that is DIYing a job.
Also worth noting that even if you hire a “professional”, half the time they suck. So you really have to dig (no pun intended) to find a contractor that is going to correctly build you a solid fence.
I love the Home renovision channel and find a ton of useful info in it. But I also understand that his methods are “good enough” and not necessarily best practice. As long as you understand that, it’s a fantastic resource if you need a starting point for DIY projects you otherwise know little or nothing about.
With certain things "good enough" is unacceptable. Fencing is one such thing. Better yo spend the money or the time researching the *correct* way of doing something to make sure it lasts. That whack job just hands out misinformation and shotty practices, and people follow his advice. That's not cool. A fence like what he glbuilt is going to look like crap and it won't last more than 5-10 years. Charging someone for that kind of work is slimy af and doing it for yourself is pathetic. I understand some people just want a fence that will last at least a year because they're selling or whatever, but that is also equally slimy.
@@ericr154literally every trade says theirs is the one where “good enough” is unacceptable. They also all have a point. As most people cannot afford to have the best professionals do literally all the work on their home, being able to do minor repairs and improvements to “good enough” is a very valuable skill.
Though one should try to understand the work one is doing well enough to know how you will be paying later for your shortcuts and learning curve. Specifically what it will cost you in effort, inconvenience, cash, or durability.
His drywall videos are terrible
So it’s funny watching this bc I did some of these exact same things, except I used a tape measure and concrete where my post don’t move when they are sneezed on. I did 500ft of privacy around my yard two years ago and only wish I had found your channel along with SWI and Mr. Fence prior to doing it. I almost hate looking at mine but I’m stuck with it….love all the info you give us!!
In fairness.... he's trying to make it easy for a homeowner. Not making like a pro would do it. If a homeowner can do it easy and perfect like us pros we'd be out of work.
@@Feed_Bleed_Read my my how easily you get all mad and rude at complete strangers. It must be hard to be you. I bet you flip the bird to others drivers from the safety of you car.
I don’t see how pointing out poor quality work. Is being rude or being angry. You are rude and angry and have no clue.
@@stevenkushinski6674 Wow, this exchange went right over your head. Read it 10x over and contemplate what was really said. Then get back with us.
It did not go over my head people watch diy videos to do a better job have a better out come Jeff’s channel should be removed not joes channel
@@stevenkushinski6674 Uhhh.... yeah. It did. Take a nap. You're tired.
I just remember seeing Jeff in a short video plugging a product for sweeping up drywall dust and every comment being along the lines of "shop vacs exist." 😂
Yes they exist, but you will be unclogging that filter 5 times before you finish the job. And you might as well throw the filter away after.
Ok
this kinda breaks my heart
I’ve watched quite a few of Jeff’s videos…. and had faith in the quality of his craftsmanship
however……
That guy gives all sorts of bad advice, I’ve watched his videos before and was shocked at how confidently he spreads misinformation.
I feel like this guy says "work smarter, not harder" a lot. Not measuring isn't smarter, it's just lazier. If you're spending the hours (or days) it takes to build a fence, why are you trying so hard to save 10 minutes. Realistically, it would probably take me less than 10 seconds per post to measure 6 inches down and make a mark. It would take me 10 seconds to measure 8 feet BEFORE I spend 10 minutes digging a post hole. Yes, it would take me a little longer to cut a mitered end on a stretcher, but i would probably make that time back with how much easier it would be to hang my pickets. And i wouldn't have to worry as much about my dogs getting out under the fence or, similarly, unwanted visitors getting in. Plus if I sold my house, i wouldn't have the buyers putting "a new fence" as a contingency after they saw the hobbled together mess i made after watching that video.
All great points, thanks for watching and weighing in!
“Do your best and caulk the rest” is this guy in a nutshell.
I really like some of Jeff's videos, they can be really useful.
But I have to be honest, he's miles wide of the mark on so many things in this video.
I'm completely self taught and even I would be going "f**k no" if I saw someone doing pretty much everything in this video!
For a start, wind sheer IS real! You NEED bloody strength.
I've seen the wind rip a fence to pieces and punch a picket through a car windscreen.
Can you imagine what that'll do to a child's body?
Secondly, that foam fix is just absolutely sh**.
Might aswell set them in horse turd!
That second post moved when he was marking it WITH HIS PENCIL!
Come on Jeff! Don't let sponsorship compromise your own standards.
I've SEEN you build far better than this!
I started to question some of the stuff his channel recommend and decided to see if anyone had a critique video on him. That's how I found your channel previously. Thank you for what you do.
Very welcome, appreciate you watching!
He's great at some things, not great at other things. I used his videos on building bulkheads and finishing basements and the results were fantastic. His tips on drywall work were also really good. Clearly his fence is meant for DIYers that are NEVER going to pay $10k for a pro-built privacy fence. They're watching his fence building video because they are trying to do it themselves to save money, even if they know the results will be poor and they don't save money in the long run.
This put a smile on my face. I used to be subscribed to that Jeff guy till one day he was doing duct (ventilation) work and a pro told him he was doing something wrong and it made a lot of sense. The guy was saying to put the male vent pipe towards air flow and the female against the air flow like that you get less potential for air leak. Instead of accepting his mistake and thanking the guy for info, this Jeff guy told him off, I unsuscribed on the spot. Haven’t watched any of his videos since lol. Keep up the great work.
Sounds like a very Jeff move, thanks for watching and weighing in!
yeah, just did a load of ductwork in my new house and it made sense to me that way (thought of water rather than air) so having no edges to "catch" would improve air flow. rarely touched metal work since I left school but being a technical guy in a technical trade, I read a book on the subject first.
There are Social media people who are educating and others who use it as a source of income. many "trade people" start out as the former and end up as the latter. Not to say there is no information to be gained, even if it is bad information.
@@andrewcarr2431 💯
Thats one of the first things you learn in sheet metal school after how to use tin snips lol
Can yoy elaborate? Male part as in it fitting inside the larger female duct?
If the air is moving towards the "male" interior edge part it would create a high pressure zone in the joint and cause more turbulence/non-laminar flow... you sure your didn't mean the opposite? Can you please post video link what he did?
What are tubafores?
This guy definitely shouldn't be telling people how to do stuff
As a home owner, on 40 acres. I make sure to do everything as good or better than the pros. The thing I can’t understand is why do people make “how to” videos about any subject if they have no clue what they are doing.
They are doing it because they truly believe they know how it's done. That's why I watch many how to videos and do more research to ensure I know the correct way before I follow a particular approach. Don't just look at the first video that comes up with a particular solution to the problem.
Anyone can make a how to video, unfortunately it doesn't mean they're doing the activity correctly. I'd follow a dedicated fence pro on how to build a fence.
Likewise, I'm a homeowner on a small farm and the reason I'm a Do-It-Yourselfer is because of too many past disappointments. People either never show, delay you by months or even years, (the best contractors are usually booked up for many months), or too many do crap work with low-quality materials and disappear. The last thing I hired done was concrete flat work. It wasn't horrible, but had I been home I'd have noticed there was no expansion joint between new work and existing work. As I predicted, the outside driveway chipped out the edge of the garage floor from frost heaving for lack of an expansion joint. I think we could find dozens and dozens of how-to videos showing new concrete work meeting existing work without expansion joints. I feel bad for people who aren't discerning or have too much confidence that projects done on UA-cam were done well. Too often something catches my eye and I soon realize the quality of information on the subject is simply wrong, even if it's something as simple as nesting boxes in a backyard coop.
I belt a fence with vevor fence spikes. The fence is super wobbly, I even put up a 16" gate. LMFAO 🤣 Hoping it last through the wind season we have.
Genuine question, Joe. When installing the horizontal pieces for a follow the terrian fence, what is your method for determining the angle of cut at the post. That way the 2x4 are butted up.
Home Reno has no clue what he is doing. Check his deck videos, talking about deck boards. His decks are all cupped, guaranteed. I reported him long ago for putting out bad info.
Have you review 4x4 fence post anchor spike that is hammered into the dirt.
I dont use foam at all, and only use concrete where a gate will hang. I sink my posts 4 feet down and never had an issue. Concrete on every post is only necessary in dry rocky, sandy or clay soil. Most yards I’ve worked in are a good mix of rocky earth. No issues and easy to fix later in time. I roll
Everything with the terrain and set posts 8’ centre.
I’ve never seen a professional be so kind with constructive criticism!
This guy’s recommendations are absolutely ludicrous lol.
You are a good dude and so respectful with your critique
God bless you
I’m not a fan of 8’ span.. my max is 7’.. I realize it’s a few more post, but I feel you get a stronger fence for the money
The post moved when he marked it with a pencil...lol
The foam was a big mistake. dumping dry concrete and adding water incrementally is not that much harder and it will be super solid and strong. The "eye balling" method always used to come back and bite me in the as* so I learned that measuring always gives me a consistent result.
I've seen this guys videos before and agree he is a complete hack!
The funny thing is that he's talking about how much he's saving by using the bracing to build the fence later. He used $25 of foam per post and still claims he's saving money by using the 2x4s
Look how much it moved when he was making the x mark on the post. That sucker was shaking like he buried it 12 inches
Nothing wrong with stepping. I prefer the step look in most cases as long as they are not big steps. I like the level lines look.
Agreed. As long as you have a few panels at the same level and step sections of 2-4 panels at a time. I prefer that look. But hey, all personal preference there. I do agree with the other commentary! Measure twice cut once.
You're being a little Hasty lol Jeff has some pretty good information! I think he lives in Canada and standards may be a little different there but overall he gives great advice and techniques and he actually show and explain his work unlike many others and that's why people watch those types of videos, So they cand figure out how to do things,
If he knew his technique should be questionaned he probably would be more precise
If I were building a fence solely to enhance my sale of a property, I'd do this. Never any other time/reason. And I'd never talk it up.
“Our 2x4 bracing will be our runners so nothing gets thrown out!” … I hope nobody would buy that many 2x4s just to waste for temporary braces
I watched some of Jeff’s videos on various home improvement projects and I had doubts about his methods & quit watching him.
As my grandad taught me “no matter how hard you try you just can’t polish a turd”.
So glad this guy is getting the review he deserves. The whole channel is full of bad advice.
Absolutely, thanks for watching and weighing in!
He is a contractor. And a contractor has a little knowledge about everything.
In all fairness that diy channel. He probably does 2 fences if he's lucky a year.
You are a fence specialist. Every single day you probably build fences and decks. Therefore. Your work will be close to perfection. That plus the fact that you've probably put in the 10000 hours for you to become a specialist at it.
I'm an insulator. I insulate houses. My work will be close to perfection. And I can insulate a 2800 sqft house by myself in a day.
Every single day that's all I do. I have put the required 10000 hours to call myself that.
I don't expect his or you channel to even make a comment on my work.
His channel is for diy. So he caters to that audience. I am certain that his framing is alot more on point. But he won't come close to a framer. One who does framing every single day.
And your riding him.
Better to say this to the diy.
Leave the work for the big boys and just call a specialist in to do the work around the house.
The only way to learn a trade is to do that 10000 hours of practice.
And a homeowner and a general contractor will never put in that time in every single trade out there.
Lol ive built fences professionaly and it took me 10 seconds to realize the guy in the video doesn't know shit about building fences lol
What a POS job RenoVision did. I did a fence for my mom 30 years ago, before I ever got in the business.
This was in Southern California where the environment is very forgiving. Hell, roofs last 30+ years because of the lack of rain and wind - now I live in Florida where roofs last 10 years or so.
The PT posts started to rot within 15 or so years. It totally failed at about the 18 year mark. Replaced it with Postmaster posts set in 3 60lb. bags each. Then did a concrete curb under the entire length before putting on the fence pickets. That way they were spaced 3/4" off of the concrete and even the pickets can't rot from the bottom up. Not that every client will pay for all of that, but I doubt I will ever need to rebuild that fence for my mom.
I haven't built a single fence in my life and I absolutely could and will build a *lot* stronger fence than he could/did.
Why not simply put the posts slightly closer together so they are 8' outer edge to outer edge? Now you have 8' cross ties with screw attaching them dead center into the post.
The structural integrity would be a lot higher and the posts would tie into each other and brace one another a lot better. Even as the wood aged, the increased structural integrity would add years to the fences life.
Warping? Use thicker pickets and seal them properly. I mean, building one good fence costs more, but it's less costly than building two bad fences...I could build a 50 year wood fence, I bet. In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Tim Allen that thing. Come at me tornado!
What I don't like about Jeff is his questionable H&S habits.
Agreed, thanks for watching and weighing in!
Why do people make the most ridiculous and obnoxious facial gestures just to add to the video thumbnail? It just makes you look silly and that you follow what others are doing (which is also absurd and cringe). Those thumbnails make it easy to skip right past your video.
Is it ok just the make the top of the fence perfectly level instead of trying to match the terrain? Especially if it’s not that much of a difference? I think I would rather see it being level than up and down with the ground.
My trade is floors and i watched this Jeff guy video on how to install floors like 3 years ago. I trashtaljed him in comments and thanked him for making people so stupid with this DIY cuz they always call me to finish the job that other contractor fcked and by "other"we know that it was totally not him.
Anyway. Its not possible to learn all trades. 😅
I like the concept of trying to make things simpler for the DIYers, but something about Jeff’s personality is a turn off. Comes across to me as being arrogant and cocky.
Used to be a subscriber of his channel but decided to pass.
i first saw jeff years ago. back before i knew anything about home improvement. but even then i could tell he was blowing smoke. you guys ever see him try and fix a bow in a framing stud buy cutting it and using leverage. just for it to crack in half. that footage could have never seen the light of day. but he filmed it edited it and said yep good enough. and posted it. i cant with this guy.
I can’t watch his channel anymore. His video cutting block for a retaining wall without eye protection and his explanation why, was the last straw. Nor would I hire him to do any projects.
Been following Jeff for years. As a retired home inspector Ive spent years talking with him. Arm chair quarterbacking kinda low imo.
I wanted to like Jeff years ago, had to unsub because of his verbal delivery, can't stand how I'm taught, id rather watch you :).
I learned a lot from Jeff's videos. When he knows what he's doing his attitude is fine and gets people over the intimidation of doing projects. But when he doesn't his videos are a bit painful to watch. And his video on how to use a miter saw is terrible.
Thank You, Thank You, I wish more guys would post video to show this guys Has no clue what he is talking about. Jeff the Hack as I refer to him as is prime example of a self taught D.I.Y.er that has just watch UA-cam videos. Majority being the wrong ones.
Wow how is this guy on a dyi channel. Maybe he should cut back on the coffee before filming. Last 40 years my butt, he will be lucky to get 10 out of this fence. 😂😂😂😂
I agreed, follow lay of the land, 2 ft concrete. Cut off palings (pickets, weird word) to a chalk line. Im a carpenter and watched him for a while. Some stuff shocked me. Jeff is basically a troll/meme. I won't be watch the next instalment, he annoys me too much.
In one of Jeff's videos, he claimed to be a general contractor for 20+ years. Then he struggled for five minutes trying to get a lid off of a 5 gallon bucket of paint.
In another video, he pulled the camera man into the shot and claimed he was a structual engineer.
He's a fraud. And he does everything wrong
The video where he swings a hammer 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Tbh i like some of his videos. I semi learned how to hang drywall and mudding from them. But im pretty sure hes been using. I notice some ticks that hes got and hes changed quite a bit since his older videos. If he is i hope he gets better yk.
Jeff's methods are substandard. For many, thats acceptable. For me? Hell to the NO! His channel is built on barely acceptable bullshit.
Dude, those posts rot out in five, depending on water. That foam is garbage, quick set cement if you want to build the same day.
That should be called DDIYLT.. Don't Do It Yourself Like That!
I've watch that guy a few times looking for tips before a reno.
I'm not a fan lol
He has some construction knowledge for sure, but he's the definition of the dunning-kruger effect
He has great tips. He better than most. He has so many talents that he can't be good at all of them. His fences seem not great. Maybe he should calab with a professional so he learns as well as the viewers. That's the thing he wouldn't be where he is today without him making mistakes.
That guy shouldn't be telling anyone how to build a fence. I can't imagine digging a hole just to use some foam crap. I don't get it; why not just build it correctly.
"It moved a good bit"
I mean, a 4x4 does have a fair bit of deflection over a 6' span even if the base is solid.
Sure, they can absolutely flex. His posts moved rather than flexed.
Not that much. 2 feet concrete is always better
home renovision is a scam. i hate the guy. i watched like 3-5 of his videos and realized he doesnt know what he is doing.
This is cool talk show. Its entertaining. Please dont be insulted i think this is writen for the purpose of showing over simplification theme. Thanks.
You need a roasting Jeff playlist 😂
Beware, Jeff is highly emotional
i like the man he is not perfect but he gets you to do things on your own when there is others getting everything so complicated to just start on it. And still better then having to pay someone when you cannot afford it and they would probably do the same. Or close to it.
right on. I Think he trying to be funny, that fence will fall apart 2 years max. Lol
The real test for anyone who puts wood in the ground… is do they know the difference between UC4A and UC4B PT lumber? If you use UC4A (what they sell at every lumber yard off the shelf) then it will likely rot off in 5-10 years, maybe 15-20 in a dry area like where I live.
If you use UC4B treated lumber (like they use in engineered post frame foundations) the lumber will last 70+ years in the ground.
Is this necessary in every circumstance? No, obviously it’s not. But if you didn’t know the difference to begin with, I question if you’ve actually done research or only listened to the “old timers” about every single process on how to build a fence, a deck, a post frame building, etc.
I’m also a fan a metal brackets made for bending moment loads, etc. but sometimes a post in the ground is better, depending on your application or availability of materials.
I guess my issue is, if you’re going to mock Jeff for his easy DIY methodology (which is fine too in many respects) I’m hoping you educate your audience on different treatment levels and analyze the pros and cons, effective time frames, and applicable situations.
If you do this, great. I’ve just found that very few people ever mention the UC4B or UC4C options in PT wood. Everyone just assumes all PT wood will rot in a few years with concrete in the ground.
doesn't matter which way wind blows....still puts pressure on posts
So glad someone is calling out Jeff for what he is - a hack. He markets himself like he's
highly qualified professional but anyone who knows a thing or two about construction can see he's faking til he makes it. It's as if he watches a few youtube videos and tackles a project for first time. He's really no better than any total beginner. It pains me that he has made a career of giving bad information while truly competent people are actually out there with their hands dirty. Thanks again Joe, wish you got the views he does, you actually deserve it
Did you see how much the post moved when he marked the placement for the 2x4 😂
Having critique is great. Love Jeff, but sometimes I'm not sure what he's doing is the best idea. So, doing my research and watching various videos on the subject is a good idea and a critique even better, and hiring an inspector when I can is best. I've always been a DIYer, especially after 2020 when finding good contractors is like finding a needle in a haystack and prices have gone through the roof. Learning is learning. Thanks for the video.
Amen, the best way to learn is to watch many different videos. You learn to pick up on common themes and start to pick out the outliers. You can then decide if the outliers are BS or if there's a legit reasoning behind it.
that’s what’s wrong with the our society instead of striving for perfection, we strive for mediocrity
Lol bro his a general contractor he does all home improvement lol you are just a fence guy give him some respect
Holy cow …. by far the worst DIY and I’ve seen many of his renovation videos yikes
To each there own if you can’t afford a contractor which not everyone can just do your best
This guy is a joke. He does fences, tile, drywall... All wrong
I watched him a couple times years and years ago. But he did and said some suspect stuff so i stopped watching him
That's a lot of movement on the post for only scribbling with a pencil 🤦
He's one of the very few people I've blocked because of how often he is wrong
Not a bad idea
Sika stuff doesnt work well. Weak & fence will come down !!
I have not finished this video yet, but I have watched his video. Other than the foam (even if its a good product, it makes me uncomfortable) i think its a pretty decent fence. Im by no means a professional but i wanna be a framer so i watch a lot of videos like his after school a lot. He definitely does not have the “best” advice but coming from someone who grew up with a literally slapped together house (1920s house built by/for workers of a local factory) that nobody has properly maintained until the last few years, i would kill for half the quality of work he does to be done in my house.
Edit: Spelling mistakes
Anything worth doing is worth doing well, his public court records seem to indicate his former clients aren’t nearly as impressed with his work as he is.
I trust his remodeling skills more than his fence building skills.
Every video he makes is like this. Total hack
That guy is a home owners nightmare,....ugghh.
Jeff has not been the same since he got punched
Is it ok to stagger your rails? I feel like having the rail attched to the whole 4x4 would be better for strong winds. Love a comment 😊
You certainly can, it will make for a stronger fence if you stagger the overlaps! Thanks for watching!
If you need advice for tile and grout Jeff is your guy.
I funnily enough stumbled on this guy's channel recently.
It was the video on a garden room or something like that.
It became immediately apparent to me that really nobody should be listening to this guy at all.
I kept hearing the phrases "good enough" and "it'll do".
😬
Yeah, no thanks pal. I want things right. Not "close enough ".
💯
Hi Joe - love your videos! i've got to make a block with two holes for the gate pins to drop into at the bottom! Any advice? Have you done a video about making one of these?
Im a fence contractor in Greeley Co l, smh, lol
Lol why the hell is he using a level on a rail?
if my electric company can set their posts in foam and they never fall, then i can def use post foam to set my privacy fence. every one is an expert on the internet. never had any issues with jeffs installs and he even admits when he fails or something has failed.
Completely different chemical compounds. We’ve done a couple videos on the channel showing the ineffectiveness of the products. We tested the product Jeff showed, another popular brand and concrete as a reference. Foam wasn’t structurally sound and was significantly more expensive. But, to each their own.
His channel is a DIY instructional channel…
Wow. In fact I was watching him preparing the build yesterday but felt that he was sloppy so I stopped watching. He is a nice man but most of his work sounded easy but sometimes I wonder. Great report and thanks for sharing
Very welcome, thanks for watching!
7:32 his pencil marking moved the "set" post, this fence will definitely not last 40-50 years, or even 4-5 months.
💯
Of course you have a fence installer down talking a diyer, he wants you to pay him 5 times as much for him to do it.
@@DustyRhodes1986 this guy is a “contractor” himself. I’m all for people building fences on their own, I’d just like to see them built to last. Following the example in this video will lead to a fence needing replaced in a handful of years, pouring more money into a project that was intend to save money by going DIY. Jeff’s public legal history will tell you all you need to know about what his clients think of his workmanship.
Jeff should watch some SWI Fence videos so he learn how professionals do it
Jeff is definitely the type of person that won't listen to reason and always thinks he's right. I feel for his wife. Yikes.
