Write the outcome, the place in general terms, the timing, and the constraints. “Need help with a fence” is weaker than naming the damaged section, the approximate size, and whether you want advice, labor, or a full repair. Photos help when they do not show a private document, a face you did not mean to share, or a precise address.
Where to go
Put the outcome in What do you need? and the constraints in Details. Needed by, required skills, and preferred skills are optional on the same form.
What to do
- Put the outcome in What do you need?
- Use Details for size, materials you already know, access, and what done looks like.
- Set Needed by only if you have a real date.
- Add required or preferred skills only when they change who can do the work.
What you should see
Search can be empty. That means nothing published matched. Post request is a different page and does not hire anyone. Budget on that form is optional and is not a free-help switch.
What this does not mean
- A vivid description is not a scope the other person has accepted.
- Do not hide a safety or license issue in order to get a reply.
- Public text is not the place for a gate code or a full street address.
