serious question though, why stick lawn edging against the concrete to hold the rocks back?

I assume the rocks are probably higher than the driveway by a little bit. The clowns that lived in my house put rock down instead of a lawn and every day I need to kick off or sweep rocks off the driveway because there is no edging. I can't wait to be finished my basement so I can tackle this disaster of a yard.

Yeah the hardest part about the screens is getting the right tension. I have a bunch of screens I need to redo and I went on Amazon and bought a massive pack of the tabs to pull out screens for super cheap.

Definitely not a hard job at all.

Yeah the tension was a bit tricky but it's easy enough to redo the loose spots.

I used this kit which is enough to do a half-dozen windows or so. Forgot to get new pull tabs though LOL, hope I never have to remove them.

Life hack: less yard maintenance, more drinking space.

That much lumber should be in the flex thread

Especially the amount he will be trimming off the edges. Looks like PT, so you can't even burn it.

You should have just paved that whole area for el grando driveway NE style.

Finally got around to putting a gazebo up, after impulse buying it three years ago, lol. $200 on clearance in late fall. Seems like it'll be a good three season one, but material is way too cheap for our windy winters.

Looks great! My goal is to score something similar this fall. Ideally a hard top one, if possible.

Cleaned out the two fingernail sized rubber seals at the bottom hinge of dishwasher.

The muck was on so thick that I didn't even realize that they slide off until today... And I've had this dishwasher for well over a decade. Nastyness.

wife kicked you out?

Peeled off some ugly crown moulding in our front entry (only room in the house with it) and proceeded to scrape, mud and sand. Hopefully painting sometime this week. I think I was the only one in my family to notice it, but it drive me nuts. MCM styled house and some gross molding in the entrance. I think others have mentioned.. but sanding drywall mud sucks.

When I did my basement my FIL gave me a drywall sander I could hook a shop vac to. It made a huge difference.

Ive been using a small palm orbital which has a small suction bag, but still makes a giant mess. Area is fairly small, so its not the end of the world.

suction bags are a waste of time. hook up a shop vac to it and be happier.

drywall dust gets fucking everywhere if you can't contain it well.

Ripped out the cheap edging, put in pavers.

[Ekliptix]

Got my new tank home after 4 months for them to make it. 10mm 'Starfire' glass. I'll be cutting into the drywall shortly for the water tubes, then spending way too much time picking out rocks, sticks, etc to 'aquascape' the bitch. Yes, a real term.

this is the goal

Spent far too long today modifying a bunch of garden solar lights into a hardwired "chandelier" for our gazebo. Now I have to do it all over again tomorrow.
