Alexander S.

Ross of Ottawa<p>I persevered in the blazing sun to try and achieve my deck-disassembly goals for the day. Wanted to remove skirt boards on two sides, an outer rim and three railings and posts. </p><p>The last two posts were hell. After removing six screws from each, I had to remove some decking to get at their rear faces. There and on the sides I took 11 more screws out of each to free them.</p><p>Weirdly the posts along the opposite side had zero screws - just sat in a notch. Crazy Town. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yardWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yardWork</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>The (alternative mix*) grass is growing in the driveway and the rock tracks are solid.</p><p>* It’s not grass at all. Mostly native clover, plus poppies and some small flowering grasses. It looks patchy but the stated goal on the bag is for about 75% coverage so that it can grow, flower, seed itself, and then fill in naturally next year. I will add a picture of our side path that we did last year. The clover has indeed filled in nicely and it is staying nice and green with minimal water. You can see it on the left in the very back of the picture. The clover is about 30cm/1ft tall and is full of blooms.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/yardwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yardwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/portalberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>portalberni</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/alternativegrss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alternativegrss</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/clover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>clover</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bloomscrolling</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>So close to finishing! Had a standing appointment at 3 so had to stop just short.</p><p>Might try to finish it after dinner.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>called it quits at 2:30 so I could go grab the load of lawn soil Ill need to finish it off tomorrow.

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>was an early start this morning. The challenge with doing things DIY is sometimes you do the wrong thing... usually it's not a big deal, and this wasn't, but it was a lot of shovelling to remove the drain rock I had put down. </p><p>After lunch I will start with what I should have done in the first place. Add in a bunch of dirt from the back to bring it close to the final level, get the a final load of top soil and then just put down a thin layer of rock.</p><p>🪏 🪨 🪏 <br><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/selfie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfie</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/yardwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yardwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/driveway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>driveway</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>

Colin Purrington<p>I often take a pair of pruners on my walks around town in case there is a stray branch impeding the way, but I may need to start lugging around a machete (yes, I have one).
