what did you do around the house today?

[88CRX]

Thats some dedication!

Here's the sod we laid last September (in the snow). Watered it a couple times in the late fall and cut it once. Growing like crazy now.

Landscape cloth and gravel going down this weekend.

That’s a nice looking backyard. We seriously considered sodding, love the instant grass, but our lot is just under a quarter acre and sod alone was around 3K, so figured it was time to learn how to seed.

Well, this has been an eventful week at the lake.... a lot of mistakes and a lot of learning.

Should be finished outside today then the shitty part....mudding the drywall inside.

( still trying to figure out how to post off flickr)

Moved 6 yrd3 of gravel this weekend... great exercise but holy fuck is that a lot of shoveling. Still have to skirt the deck, build the stairs, add the railing, level the pavers, finish planting a few more trees/shrubs and then probably another 3-4 yards of gravel to finish it off. Finally the end is near!

Where'd you get the thick black landscape plastic?

My eavestroughs look full of gunk and the downspout is clogged on my garage. Should I attempt to unclog on own or hire pros?

Can you stand on a ladder?

Yeah for real. No way would I pay someone to do that job (unless I had an absolutely massive house or inaccessible eavestroughs... neither of which are an issue for me).

Its from Costco. We bough a couple 250' rolls a year ago that were the regular fabric. Bought another one a month or so ago and it was this plastic mesh stuff. No idea which works better but the fabric is easier to work with thats for sure.

Do it yourself.
1) scoop out as much gunk from the eaves trough as possible.
2) get hose to top of downspout and run on full blast.
3) if downspout is clogged, use coat hanger to poke at the jam while you keep water running. Mine always clogs at the bend near the top.
4) wash out full length of eaves trough.
5) enjoy the $200 you saved yourself.
