Re: Home and garden projects

I feel like visitors to this water closet should be rewarded with a complimentary McVities digestive.

Re: Home and garden projects

Yes, you're right I've only been here for six years, so not a large sample of personal experience, but I honestly can't remember the last time it rained. Probably seven or eight months' ago? That...

Re: Home and garden projects

Great tips, thank you.
I actually have two mixers - a 5 cubic and a 3.5 (I think), which is a lot for one job, but I was actually planning on a re-doing a lot of the concrete pathways around the...

Re: Home and garden projects

Since it was so close to the surface of grade, and since I needed to improve the drainage system / gutters, I ended up spending thanksgiving installing a catch basin and re-routing all of the drains...

Re: Home and garden projects

Sadly it's very close to the surface,so I think I'm going to have to dig an alternate channel and re-route it.

Re: Home and garden projects

Question for the brain trust:
Was planning on pouring a small concrete path in my front yard next weekend, so did a lot of digging to prep for formwork today.

Re: Home and garden projects

Congrats, great outcome.
We painted our kitchen cabinets several years ago. It made a big difference but we were nowhere near prepared for how gruelling and painstaking a process it was, even with a...

Re: Home and garden projects

I've been de-doing all of my fences over the last 18 months, and have watched the prices creep up steadily over that period, (for cedar and redwood, at least). I asked the guy at the lumber yard if...

Great job with that!

Re: Home and garden projects

Are you a concrete contractor yourself? I was planning on doing some smaller jobs myself (footpath around the side and...

Re: Home and garden projects

Yep, agreed. YouTube has been sending me concrete finishing videos for months, so I knew what I wanted:

Re: Home and garden projects

Decided that I was going to widen my existing driveway to fit another vehicle on it. (Very American sentence to write, that one.)

Got quotes for the forms and finishing, and decided I was going to...

Re: Home and garden projects

About nine months ago I was idly surfing online, thinking about landscaping the front yard, and looking for fun ideas. I...

Re: Home and garden projects

Thank you Pulaski. Whilst it's for privacy now, it's not inconceivable that we could get new neighbors with a dog in the future. I was planning on buying the posts, rails and panels individually as I...

Re: Home and garden projects
