Interesting fence, do you get a lot of glare from the sun?

 

Haven’t really noticed.

 

Seems a little unsafe. First, the top rail is too high and the mid rail is too low. Second, becoming blind from the corrugated metal may make you fall off the structure. Good job citizen

 

Got done what I could today, hot as fuck today

 

Glad someone shares my dark sense of humor

 

Anyone looking for a brad nailer? I have a pneumatic RIDGID R213BNA for sale that has not been used much. $70

 

You need to post a price. TW rules.

 

i hate painting door jambs and cutting in on the wall. What a gigantic pain.

This is how I do windows and doors, easy peasy.

 

no matter how hard i try to be steady i always mess up the adjoining wall. Then repairing and trying to cut in a nice line i always screw that up too.

 

Get a nicer brush, try holding a line on just the wall until you can learn the motion and amount of paint on the brush

 

You get what you pay for.

 

I second the quality brushes. Same with rollers. Large areas looked that much better with a higher quality rolled.

 

That’s what I’ve been using. I’ve had better success tonight than before. I started farther away and slowly came in to the line.

 

It takes time, but Frog Tape FTW!

 

haha just bought some. Painting the kitchen and the blue tape bleeds.

 

Before I delve to deep in research thought I'd run this by you guys. Currently our back yard slow dies during the summer. Slowly cause of the water table pretty much. The back yard is probably like 100 feet from end to back of house (approx) and by end of summer from back of house to somewhere around half way is brown and dry.

So I'm thinking of adding a sprinkler setup that would cover the area the regularly dies plus a bit more. Have it split into zones so I only need to add sprinklers as the water table (probably wrong word) drops throughout the summer. So pretty much do closest to the house first and then add next row later and so on. With a sprinkler that does a 15' circle that would only really be two or three rows. Each zone would be 3-4 sprinklers.

Then I'd also add in the garden watering setup to things. But that would be simple as each "zone" would just provide water to a garden bed.

As for parts I'm think the controller (outdoor hardwired), tubing, sprinklers, control valves, sprinkler wire, couple valves to isolate things, and those distribution boxes for valves/control valves

This seem resonable? Or am I missing something?

 

A picture of the area would be helpful. Ideally, you want all of your irrigation valves in the same box with only one group of control wires running to it. This simplifies design, installation, and future maintenance. When building your valve manifold, incorporate unions. This will drive up the cost a small amount, but make future valve replacement a piece of cake.

 

Actually on vacation so can't get pictures.....it's my I'm up way before everyone else so I'm planning projects time lol.

And yeah I'd have all the valves in one spot now that I've done some planning in my head
