Garden Beds Done

At least for this year. I wanted to get the “roadside” beds done before the deck went in. Mission accomplished – due more to delayed deck building than the garden bed project completing expeditiously. That’s the ground-level view. Here’s what it looks like from the window: I see no sense in adding soil, now. I’llContinue reading “Garden Beds Done”

Garden Progress

In addition to bringing the vanity replacement saga to a close, we continued the garden project, which isn’t really a “saga”; everything is proceeding as planned, just slowly. The next step is to work out from the far corner, because they compost will be in whatever space is left after a 2’x2′ corner and aContinue reading “Garden Progress”

Garden Plot

I know I said I wouldn’t do this, but it happened, anyway. The garden beds are the white, rounded rectangles along the edges. The grey is concrete. The bluish grey lines are the chain-link fence with the posts as block dots. It’s to-scale. I had the drawing – several versions – so adding the gardenContinue reading “Garden Plot”

One Third Done

I’ve become a recluse. It took me a week to recover from having guests for a week. People have become exhausting. In any case, this weekend we managed to get the first third of the garden beds built. We had two done. Now we have eight done. Here’s the reverse angle: That’s bigger than itContinue reading “One Third Done”

Garden Progress

Two beds done. About ten to go: The goal is beds all the way around, but the “before the deck is in” goal is just the ten (or so) to the gate in the back (about where the tipped over recycle bin is). Those two are the result of three days effort. The bottleneck isContinue reading “Garden Progress”

Patio Pre-Pour

This happened back in September, but I want the photo public. It’s apparently too big to fit through outlook.com filters. I usually shrink my phone photos, but I want this one full sized. It’s the only evidence we have that a footer (that trench on the far side of the hot tub) was poured andContinue reading “Patio Pre-Pour”

Trench First

I highly recommend getting any desired trenching work done before doing anything else to one’s yard. We’re getting our power lines buried because we want a second floor deck. As the power lines exist, they would either take off your head or electrocute you when you walked across the deck. The trench was dug, conduitContinue reading “Trench First”

Postulated: Dark Shed

I do not see a shed, yet I see evidence of shed-like phenomenae. I shall call this Dark Shed.
