    Where?
    This one is from JYSK and if you play your cards right with the store manager, then you could get it for cheaper

    Patio furniture is now on clearance fyi
    Music to my ears. Where did you go?

    Did some yardwork, got some pails of gravel from OneSite to top up our window wells, chose new painting colours for walls/trim, cleaned up around the exterior windows, and eventually will do some caulking once I find a taller ladder.

    Finished the install of a mini split today. Having a 3 level split and the whole main floor opened up it made more sense than central air. Far more efficient to cool the main room and way cheaper to install. The whole upstairs stays relatively cool as well with how the layout all worked out.

    Senville 18k BTU system, SEER 22. Got it on sale down in the US, shipped to Montana and ExtraSlow brought er up for me. Buddy wired in the breaker and disconnect and did the rest of the install with my dad. Total cost was about 1,600$.

    With the wifi controls and home assistant it works great, auto set to turn off AC when no phones on wifi and then when I get home it fires up and can cool the whole place down in <10 min.

    Glad you like it. I think it's probably a pretty unique situation where that makes more sense than central air, but wicked that it works for you. Enjoyed the drive down to sweetgrass as well.

    So my yard had a shit load of suckers popping up due to the 70 year old poplar root ball still being under the ground. Stump grinding can only do so much.

    Poplar roots are fucking wet. like water comes dripping out as you cut it. Do you think people will take it to burn?

    Two years it'll be fine. Not the greatest because it's so low density but great for campfires.

    People will take it. Yeah, leave it to. Dry until next summer and it's perfect for campfires.

    Finally gave up on our contractor ever fixing our hail-destroyed window screens after waiting for over 2 years, discovered that it's a very easy DIY and only took an hour or so for a rank beginner to do 3 screens with a Home Depot kit. Wish I'd looked into it earlier!

    Life hack: less yard maintenance, more drinking space.

    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.

    Subjective.
    I zoomed in so you creeps wouldn't see my wife, but in the grand scheme and design it looks quite good.
    Once the shrubs start growing and flowering it will look completely different again.

    I was looking at the beautiful butterfly on the neighbor's fence. That and the fact the black plastic on the left needs 1/4-1/2" cut off the end so it doesn't bow to the right.

    Haha you bastards.
    I'll take a better photo, its flush as of this morning, the way the edging was rolled made it a pain in the ass to lay it. Weight of the rock against it overnight straightened it out.

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