Wood fences are a simple, beautiful and practical part of our home. From a decorative front yard picket fence to a fence to hold in a big dog fences come in many styles and serve many purposes. Wood fences can be constructed many ways and of many materials. These decisions early on determine if a fence will last up to 30 years or fall over in 3. The wood, fasteners and maintence all determine a fence's lifespan. The most important part of a fence are the posts. Posts come in wood or metal and should be placed in a 24 deep hole filled with concrete or bolted in place.

There are many strategies at making your home more comfortable and energy efficient while lessening your impact on our natural resources and saving you money on your energy bills. Not all strategies work for every house. An easy place to start is to install a water filter at your kitchen sink. Water filters decrease the need for all those plastic water bottles that end up in the landfills. Water filters also save the energy that it takes to process and transport that purified water to you. Drinking out of a filter vs. buying all those bottles saves you space in your refrigerator, your cabinets, your trash cans and saves you hundreds of dollars over the lifespan of the filter.
