Added some gnomes...

Gonna add any squatches?

 

Too much money...$129 for this one...24" tall

They did have a squatch windchime was kinda cool

 

You could always go with a plywood cutout Sasquatch. Etsy has plenty of patterns for sale for less than $10.

 

Painted a gnome

 

Fighting this algae and its winning...so dropped some blue dye in it

 

The before picture looks like the "Lagoon" on Gilligan's Island! LOL

 

The backyard is nice. (My front yard is bluegrass and looks like crap).
TTTF (True Turf Tall Fescue)
Zone 5B

 

Time to start shaping some stuff, especially the spirea and the magnolia

 

And the backyard from my deck

 

What do you use for the shaping?

 

I love this tool. Can use it for trimming things a fullsize would be too big for.
Even small enough for my topiary

 

Nice! I have a similar Ryobi product but it is longer in size.

 

I have the 40v monster for the serious work (and use that battery for my 16" chainsaw also)

 

I think I have the in between model that uses the 18V battery. Something like this one:

 

This thing will go thru anything. They have a recall due to to some of them not needing to have both switches hit resulting in...Oops.

Off topic, at some point this summer I'm headed up your way. I'll PM you, I'd love to see your TR and also get you in my 911

 

Well, I am sad to say my TR is looking pretty bad right now. When we moved here two years + ago as I was parking it the car died and I have not had the time to dig it out and troubleshoot the problem. I suspect the rotor button but not sure. In that time it has had a portable garage fall on it and it is filthy and likely has been visited by more than one mouse. I am honestly not sure of its condition. It has needed a full restoration for 20 years and I have gathered many of the needed parts but the garage I need for a restoration at our new house was put on hold to give my mother a place to live, and, in reality, as it turned out, a place to die. No regrets, we were happy to provide that peaceful passing for her outside of a hospital setting. Now there are just too many priorities stacked up in front of the car. But I keep telling myself to spend a few hours seeing what condition it is in and if it will start. But the 911….if I were independently wealthy and money was no object an early 70’s Targa would be on the short list, probably in silver with a black interior.

 

Learned of this thread the other day. Have done a lot around my house since buying just a few years ago.
Today I took a stump out under my deck. Just the previous month I hired out getting it support structure work done properly. So now I can work towards eventually making the under side of the deck useable. First the stump had to go. Same with the old drain line.

 

Here’s my front yard remodel from last summer starting before then after.
