I just bought a home near Antioch and I35. A man knocked on my door today and identified himself as an adt security sales rep. He said it’s normal for them to come to newly sold homes and pitch security equipment. He asked to come inside to check out the doors/windows. I asked him for a business card and he said he didn’t carry one. That threw up red flags. I did not let him inside but I’m nervous now that he might have been casing the house.

Is this normal for new homeowners? Or should I contact the police? I haven’t set up full security yet I only have a ring doorbell and I changed all the locks/garage code.

I really hope I’m overreacting but I just got a weird feeling.

I’m needing help figuring out the best way to get a privacy fence. It would need to be either wood or vinyl and 6ft.

I live in Kansas and I have about 400ft that needs to be fenced

Any suggestions on fencing companies/people who might be able to help? I’m a teacher so I’m on a budget. It feels ridiculously low but if I could get it done for under $5k it would be ideal.

I’m open to doing it myself but I’ve never done anything like that before.

Help?

I have two dogs (one is reactive) and I just bought a house. I’m SO excited to give the dogs a backyard but the house is not fenced.

I’m not sure if I should go with a privacy fence so my reactive dog can’t see visual triggers or if I can save money and do a typical picket fence. The other dog is a very good jumper so it would need to be pretty tall but I don’t want to just put up a huge tall fence.

I’ve thought about a GPS fence but I don’t think that would be good for my reactive dog?

The yard had about 400 ft of fencing needed 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m trying to not spend more than the down payment but I also don’t see the point of having a backyard for my dogs if they can’t run around free

Any ideas/suggestions??
Fencing types (wood, vinyl, etc)
Fencing companies that are reasonable and do good work
How difficult is it to put a fence in on my own?

I live near Shawnee/Overland Park Kansas. Not sure what wood is best if I do go with a wood fence? Also maintenance?

Any/all thoughts are welcome!

I recently got engaged and I have fallen in love with the glass house vibe. We have a limited budget so most of the traditional venues are too much (we LOVED Avent Orangery). We will have maybe 130 people MAX. We’re hoping to get married in the Lenexa, Overland Park, Kansas City area but we’re open to other ideas that are within about 3 hours.

Hoping to also have a live band and big dance floor too!
What recommendations do yall have for any/all of the following??

Venue (can be “nontraditional” if you know of any places!)
Live Bands (we want everyone up and dancing!)
Catering (most likely will go with a self serve/buffet option?)
Dessert (probably a small cake for my fiancée and I and then something else for guests to give them options?)

Mostly we want it to be a memorable night but we have a budget of about $10k total 😫
