Looks inviting as hell! Nice job.
I’ll bring the Woodford!

Been using the same guy for windows over our three homes in this town and while he’s semi retired now he still wants to pick up work so is doing our 4 windows for a fair price, IMO.
As another...

first good rain of the fall and I go down expecting a dry basement.
Nope, water coming in still. Can’t believe I missed this before but look at the window.

Had a little left in my kit and another small foundation crack to deal with in the house exterior.
Same process, but more visual as to the results.

The kit uses T fittings you glue to the cleaned crack where the T’s are evenly spaced.

Hydraulic cement over the lot.

Once cured, inject the foam, after filling the voids...

Finally digging into that leaking foundation issue, and had to remove the finished walls and studs in the basement to really access the situation.
After finding the crack, and spending the greater...

Working on the shelves for that shed I built before winter sets in.

and now I know what the VW feels like when really loaded down.

New roof truss supports needed, as well as 2x4 supports...

nice honey do’s that score ya points with the misses gents.
I restored a pool lounger this aft, and spent the evening bbq’ing up some of my son’s fav’s for his birthday.
Cooling off this weekend...

Revive an old, but ongoingly relevant thread.
Expanding the side yard so I can move the BBQ’s over against the fence as my next stage in yard beautification.
Continuing to repurpose the flagstone...

Thanks Dave, both were delicious. 2012 montecristo 3 and some Mark 46..

John, that crock's gotten bigger over the summer! He's going to need a new home down in Florida soon. Pools only circulating...

Got my low voltage lighting installed and wired up around the new retaining wall and stairs tonight.

Repurposed some I still had, and purchased new ones for the top of the stairs. ...

Thanks Tom.
You are so right about the natural growth. It has been a monster which I am trying to pull into order.
That shredded pop up garage thing is sitting where the shop will eventually go, I...

And John, neat idea on Erin's tunes. I wonder if the YouTube audio police would say her stuff is copyrighted? Some of it's never been recorded.
Might have to ask her to lend me some for future...

Shaun knows our climate. 1" irrigation coils that were used to aid in pool heating.
The pool has 2" circulation lines, so I ran 600' in two parallel 300' lengths of 1" dia black coils up on the...

Yup Mike, I'm an uber geek when I'm flying. It's why I don't take it with me out in public much, hehe.
The goggles tie into the drone camera so it's exactly like being in the left seat and the...

Thanks Shaun. Had to move north a ways to afford the size of lot we have now.
That old storage shed would make a terrific greenhouse frame, hehe.
I was just planning to tear it down, but come...

Here's a little vid of the work done, and still to do.
Was a nice day, so I dusted off the drone.

Thanks gents.
Plants, lighting, maybe a cedar handrail along the steps still to do.
Then there's all the re-laying of the old flagstone on the upper landing for the firepit area, but that will all...

Nearly done, finally..
Grout and poly applied today.
Now to the final clean up.

A light sand to match the house brick, they call it buff. Will lean to the light beige side and bring out the scalloped edges of the stones. Was originally going to go all gray, but thought, mah,...

Now it's starting to look like something..

Maybe another week to go? Contrasting grout and poly sealant still to be done after all the stones are laid.
This deck will have more sq...

Coping around the pool edge has been cut and installed. Gravel being leveled for the rest of the stones.

Very time consuming first step as the rocks each need to be cut on the angles, and a...

The hill is loam on sand. All around the pool is clay though. Very poor drainage around the area we are working.
Probably why the concrete took such a beating around the pool perimeter. All that...

He's why it's so green I think. ;)
Camouflaged croc now. Hehehe.
