Re: Home and garden projects
Just finished my carport conversion to storage building. Metal framework and vertical vinyl siding. Was just at Lowe’s and 7/16 OSB is now $49 per sheet.

No seal. Just attached each square tube with angle bracket and 1/2 inch bolt thru vinyl into good wood inside supports. It’s under the garage eave and being all metal and vinyl a little blown in water wont be a problem. Several heavy rains with no leaks so far.

Our basement has been half finished for about a year, as we lost motivation to finish the half of the basement we really didn't have a use for. Well, I just offered a remote position starting the 16th, so we are now planning to finish up the other half of the basement and turn it into my home office!

We are expecting frosts this week so I have just picked all the remaining produce from the hydroponics system and added all the stems, leaves etc to the compost heap.

That is an impressive harvest! Can you post pics of your hydroponics system? I have set one up but it would not be producing veggies on this scale

Nice harvest. I'm curious to see the setup as well because I'm intrigued to see how frost might affect it, presumably yours is neither indoors nor greenhoused?

Seeing what others do, like the carport, makes me feel useless.
I planned to replace the toilet today, but after removing the old one, I saw there was no flange, the old one was wood screwed in to the floorboards. I am uncomfortable in adding the flange myself.

Re: Home and garden projects
This reminds me of a thread last year about tree trimming and chain saws. Today had three giant popular trees trimmed. They brought a large four wheel drive tractor with them to pull boom truck back up hill after trimming was done. The gross trimming may end up killing the trees but I was worried about them getting blown down on my garage in a summer wind storm.

Re: Home and garden projects
Just started a block , and brick and artificial stone project. Will be a covered pavilion 12 by 16 feet. Decided to try doing the whole thing by self including the block and brick. My first time for block and brick but the block is going slow but good result.
Project so far
