That paint scheme is nice and looks like it’ll hide a little slime. I’m guessing you won’t let it accumulate though.

It’s been that way for a decade between two houses. I’m getting old and tired though.

More like 10 major projects lol

Oh yeah, there’s still the other steps, Ardex for popped concrete spots, and cutting the driveway limbs on both drives. Fun never ends,,, come on October

Place is so over the top in some places and others lacking. Gutter/drain system was incredible and hidden inside walls, etc. 50 years later though it’s an issue. No plans either, find crazy stuff like 4’ wide footings in the basement when we cut the drain in for the last kitchen. Floating...

Thankfully, the drain we cut being repaved will be a company. One job I won’t be doing myself. Downside, $tens of K’s later, lower garage dry all fall/winter/spring, now can feel damp again on back wall, all drainage fixed, weep holes added, rubber membrane on house side of French drain the...

Tomorrow is concrete day try 2, new company so hope they show. I’m the wheelbarrow man. I’d hoped they’d back up to the forms but my brother said don’t even ask. They’ll sink and get stuck. Today was a low call day, tomorrow I’m swamped. This should be an interesting juggle. Soon as the last...

Set the stones in granite dust and unloaded the big stepper myself, that wasn’t so fun,,,, I used an ATV ramp and it was sagging, pic doesn’t do it justice, the right side sticks out at an angle almost doubling the length it appears. I unloaded where her paver steps where, “Oh, it’ll look better...

I don’t recall details on the worm composting thing. Never had to pick out dead ones but was sort of established once I got there. My uncle never did either but I think it was mesh under with wood sides above so maybe the natural ground conditions resolved it. I told my kids rather than try and...

We had one at a Green company I was reshoring in the south. Part of their mission and all. I lived at the site in a massive house a few of us shared. We’d open the lid and throw old veggies in once a week. Someone else handled it all and kids came to learn sustainability. Had goats before my...

Picked up the diesel yesterday from a quick checkup post ball joint swap. Stopped at stone yard and picked up a load of granite dust and a large flat stone to replace the wimpy looking paver step into fire pit area. No clue how I’ll unload it though lol. Pretty massive and crazy angle on one...

May explain why the first round died. Thought my wife would kill me for the smell in her kitchen lol. Caught more last night, front yard has millions it seems. Right now they are in a tote on a tote with small holes in the bottom. My uncle buried a box in his yard when we were kids and we’d go...

Went out last night with youngest and tonight with 9 yo catching crawlers. Our front yard has millions for some reason. Tough in taller grass but managed a few dozen last night and a dozen tonight with my 9 yo catching one after pulling 4-5 of my catches up for me. Stubborn in the hard ground...

Thx Don, I’ve a big pile, just pushed to the far side of the other lot to clean up. A few soggy spots with the rain. Still one low spot to grade so yesterday after raking out a few yards of soil (machine was so much easier) I dig out the broken fire pit rocks, picked up a pallet of boulders, and...

So yeah, you boat owners suck lol If I ever disappear, look my up via carrier pigeon or however those who’ve moved offshore commune

Yeah, I keep looking at 50’ sailboats but have never sailed, I’m more in the “F” it burn it down and sail away crowd, figure the “Old Man and the Sea” fishing just comes with it. All started as good adventures do. I had coffee listening to captains In Beaufort, NC at 6 am. Only non-captain...

Starting to come together

Haha, yeah no,,, I’ve known since I was a kid earth moving wasn’t for me, I wasn’t one to grade sandboxes and watch water move when poured from a pail, rather watch grass grow or gouge out eyes, lol My brother is a concrete guy. I’d rather write a check too but he likes to give back so I’m the...

Looks like a green sunfish, I can’t say I’ve seen one myself. Awesome looking fish!
