I was so relieved that I am not the only one who has encountered situations when I have to work a little harder to get the results I expected. Shawn thank you for all your help!!!!

Great video I go through this all the time as well, you guys are awesome sharing your knowledge so many others can figure it out a lot easier

[@danielcourtney7045]

Could you guys post a video of the 2x4 with 45° angle cuts on both ends that Shawn talks about using to space vinyl posts that works going up a grade? How to make it, what the measurements are, which way the cuts are made, how to use it, and how it works going up a hill to keep correct spacing when setting the posts?

Hi love your videos and experience. When you where doing the wood fence do you trip the bottom pickets that are longer? I noticed that the straightaway which I'm about to order from you keeps the tops perfect but when you have those 12 inches and 11 inch swings do you leave those pickets a little off? In your video I can see that some are shorter at the soil bottom and some are higher

All that monkeying around I woulda had them pickets cut top rail on, and been 5 section ahead of ol Shawney boy.

vinyl install ; when going uphill on a steep grade it is most helpful to work down hill vs up hill also it is proper to use end posts and step the holes . when you stand back look from the side using a line post on a grade doesn't look proper at all. for any pro out there it only takes a couple of minutes to step the holes and have an install you can be proud of. speed of install is good however a proper install wins every time . routing the holes larger without stepping the holes should not be the first step

Honestly watching that sloped section installation kinda hurt, literally just take a skill tool and but out the top of both a quarter to half inch and then run a sawzall down the top. Takes the dumbest guy on our crew like a minute tops

I like your show but you need to show people how to deal with the demons in the ground you need to understand some places they have a rocky soil that is what you don't show people only thing you show it show is the easy stuff can you pick us and measure you need to show people from the bottom up starting with digging the holes
