Is this remotely okay?

Getting a cross buck fence installed, just checked out the progress and saw a ton of gaps in the cross sections and some shotty nail placement—I know a plank will be covering the cross sections, so they don’t have to be perfectly lined up just to inevitably get covered up, but is it as bad as it looks? Also a few of the cemented posts are crooked

First + second pic are from a slightly rounded corner of the fence, the other two are just what most of the cross section looks like

EDIT: I texted the owner and he’s furious, said it’ll be fixed today and that this is not how they do things. The original crew hasn’t shown up this morning yet lol

Concrete dimensions

Novice here. I live in the Midwest and am getting estimates on a concrete patio. One contractor reports depth of gravel base will be 3" compacted and concrete depth will be the depth of a 2x4, not a true 4". Concerned about the longevity of the patio. Shouldn't this be a true 4" ? Also is the gravel base thick enough?

Escape to Victory

Anyone remember this movie? Saw this on cable TV at a friend's house. I absolutely love this movie! It is on my top 10 list of most nostalgic 80's movies

I hit my underground rainwater drain. How do I fix this?

Newbie here. Please go easy on me. Using a hydraulic post hole digger I hit my drain. What are my options?

Edit thank you everyone for your kindness and insights!

I'm wanting to build a removable fence panel and would appreciate any suggestions or ideas to make it durable as well as aesthetically pleasing.

I'm building a fence and want to build a removable fence panel. Just wanted any suggestions or ideas to make it durable as well as aesthetically pleasing as possible.

FWIW fence info:

-I live in the Midwest

-fence will be rectangular in shape 75' in total length that will encircle my back yard

-Ideally I want to place the removal panel in the middle of the fence

-the panel will be 6' - 8' wide.

-6' dog ear fence pickets pressure treated

-area has above average wind

-needs to be dog secure

-using 4x4 8' posts, but suspect I'll need 4x6 posts for the removal fence panel
