Home Improvement Today?

We had to do the cut-in with a foam brush around the stiles but the rest was done with a foam roller.

 

Home improvement/yard improvement

12x16 lofted shed for my atv and lawn mower and tools.

Currently out for delivery

 

down the wall between the damp proofing and the 10mm drainage cavity provided by the dimple membrane into the 4" perforated pvc pipe in a clean gravel drainage bed wrapped in heavy filter fabric then into a solid 4" PVC pipe to daylight

if you're a real builder that is

 

I have one. Only issue is my M12 XC6.0 battery wiggles out of it during use. All of my other batteries stay in fine, so it may be more of a complaint for that specific battery.

 

Home Depot has a package deal for the oscillating tool and a m12 drill/ driver for $129 with two batteries so I'm kind of

 

All finished. Now to build a ramp

 

Finally getting around to “unfinishing” a corner of the basement for a shop.

 

Nice. I need to redo my garage storage

 

Mid way through building my ramp. It’s not treated wood. Doing this on a budget. Plan on staining the hell out of it top and bottom. If it’s last 5 years I’m happy



Edit: any suggestions?

 

Couple coats of poly and if you can the end of the ramp that would be sitting on the grass, try to put it on blocks or something so its not sitting in the grass.

 

Spend the $ on a piece of 3’ treated 2x6, let that contact the ground. It’s only a few dollars.

 

Yeah I thought about letting it sit on some concrete blocks

 

Any way you can isolate non-treated wood from constant contact it is going to help you, or as Shane100700 said just buying a small piece of ground contact wood for that edge of the ramp would help as well.

 

Exactly this.


I made mine out of weather treated 3x6’s. Wasn’t much more cost wise.

 

Oh well it’s done. If it rots In 5 years I’ll build another. Still got to build lofts and get some metal shelves for it, and wire it up




Also my first time building anything out of wood

 

I used one of those for my mailbox. 27 years later it's still doing its job.

^this right here ^

I've set a number of posts with nothing other than what came out of the hole. Put a little dirt in, tamp it down hard, rise, repeat.

Trimmed up the trees out front this morning, so I can walk under them without ducking while I'm mowing.

Tested the pool water and made a few more adjustments.

Pulled the weeds/grass growing in the driveway cracks/joints. Started edging with the weedeater until I ran out of line, and it wouldn't start after I replaced the line. The pull rope goes in/out, but it feels like it isn't pulling against anything. I didn't feel like tearing into the edger, so I ran to the gas station and refilled the gas cans because I was out of 2-stroke fuel.

Went for a swim for the first time since I bought the house this past fall.

 

Excavation pretty much done for the koi pond! I await dry weather to stock up on concrete...



When a new project meets an old project: surface/french drain... I never wanted to see you again!

 

I'm assuming this is some retro "mid-century modern" version of peg board? Link?
