Home Improvement Today?

Festool makes some good stuff. I have a Shinex buffer they make.

A pallet of sod for $240 delivered?

Pick me up 2 while you're at it!

 

Started removing shitty mdf laminate so I can eventually refinish the floors. All the blue underlayment you see is where is stuck to the floor from dog/cat urine. The previous "occupants" didn't really give 2 shits about things.

Even if I put laminate back down, this had to come up because of how warped it was from urine.

 

No kidding. Look at the price of grass seed!!

 

Grass seed is as high as a cats a$$ as well- of course what is not "high priced" these days

 

where's the Festool CMS bro

 

I hose it down after every other use (when the lawn is really dry) but every time when it’s still moist. Change the oil each year too. Not bad for a little $200 Toro from Home Depot in 2011.

after a few I’d have the same problem

 

I got 450sqft pallets for $85 pick up from the sod farm.

$90/ 5000sqft over seeding, requiring vertical mulching.

idk. We are doing both right now.

 

Interesting. I never priced that out. I only see grass seed prices and they seem crazy, but what isn't and I'm old!

 

Finished the wall.

Ran out of: Backfill dirt and fancy Mexican 1/2-1" rock for front drain.........

 

So about $4500 for that?

 

Total came to roughly $225 with Maryland sales tax. You know it's current times when you think "well that ain't too bad"

 

Laid the 2 pallets tonight. I’m tired




doggos for bonus points.

 

Looks sweet. I'm ignorant, do you epoxy those?

 

Don't have to but did with the PL 500. Not an epoxy more like construction adhesive.

 

Thanks for the info! I'm going to be doing one in the near future so trying to get my shit together.

 

The glue is not to be thought of as structural. Both surfaces need to be free of grit or loose stuff. Stacked logically and properly backfilled these small walls should feel stable and strong. Adding glue is just a bonus.

Taller real structural retaining walls a whole different ballgame.

 

I was thinking around $25,000.

 

yup, couple years ago it would have been about $90

 

Hhahahaa

I forgot to bitch about the price of the colorful rock. 0.44$/pound! Adds up quick with rocks. I got 138 pounds in four fill the (free supplied) sacks. $66 and I have a lot to go. Next run I will see if they can put a mini scoop in the Taco.

 

This weekend, the garage renovation gets underway. I will be epoxying the floor, installing a new workbench and racks, running new wiring for my compressor, organizing and laying it out better to suit my Harley and the wife's Ryker.

Good times!
