Home Improvement Today?

Nice, that's actually the company I use for all of my glass doors, everyone I have found local charges outrages prices just for glass. Sucks waiting on shipping but in my case I actually save money, crazy how prices change region to region.

 

Made a little raised bed the other day.. just need a floor and some dirt... and plants..

 

I was thinking about building a raised garden bed this year. Haven’t done any research but do you know if it matters what kind of wood you use? I imagine pressure treated could leach chemicals into the soil?

 

Yeah you want to use a wood that naturally lasts the elements. I used Douglas Fir. It has a reddish hue to it

 

I remember back when real estate was booming and houses were selling at crazy prices. People were making all kinds of money and spending a ton on remodels. I looked at glass shower enclosure for my guest bath and thought they were freaking crazy with what everyone was charging. But people were paying.. but not me. I got a slider from Hone Depot and it looks good.

That's why I was looking at the DIY route, but at the last minute decided to try a local place eith great reviews. Surprised to find it was in line with the Florida DIY place.

 

Yeah, do not use pressure treated. We used redwood, but each region has different availability of good weather resistant types. We found after building it the squirrels loved to bury acorns in it, so we threw together a cover.

 

Western Red Cedar

 

Finished up framing and sheeting the bastard hip roof at the kitchen end of the house including covered mudroom door / porch area and kitchen skylights

Got about 1/2 of the PSU-30 peel & stick down , will have that all done Monday

 

Re-sealed/stained the fence today. DIY built it two years ago and it was looking a little faded.

 

That’s a decent view lol

 

concrete looks much better!

When you can’t get a arborist in time...

 

You cut that with the recip ?

 

The pruning blades work pretty well. They're no replacement for a chainsaw but they come in handy for tight/awkward spots

 

And about 1000x safer than a chainsaw; great for the small stuff and over head work.

 

We used a combo of a recipe and the DEWALT 20v Chainsaw, it was a 40’ Elm, the trunk at the base was 14 or so inches, shadiest thing I’ve ever done, but it worked

 

I know I have one , just curious

This is the best blade I've found

How do you like that chainsaw?

 

Love it, only had it a month and a half, but we’ve used the shit out of it, and zero problems
