I never want to see another post hole digger again so long as I live.
ugh.. did my fence about 2 months ago I had 8ft sections and was only putting a physical fence across the front portion of my backyard (one side already fenced.. other side is a huge drop off retaining wall back got invisible fence) but with the clay here it was killer oh and the granite... the fkn granite!!!!
6ft tall so had to go pretty deep to get proper depth also sucked. The holes for the two posts that were part of my pullup bar were so deep the post hole digger handle tops were basically at ground level..
Full 8ft panel as one gate and 3ft gate for everyday use so total of about 11ft to get pretty much any vehicle through if need be. Since my driveway is so steep if i ever need dirt or mulch dropped off they won't be able to safely stop and drop it at the top and will need to be able to get right into the backyard. Plus there is a parking pad back there so room for all my toys
red is approximate solid fence location and pink is invisible fence.
also finally got the little waterfall built and some fish in the whiskey barrel pond
sliding garbage/recycling cans in.. dogs have figured out how to slide these out though so I need to install baby catches on them like I did with the doors under the sink since we thougth they were opening that and pushing them out.. no they are pulling them open now!
Built a new server, it runs cooler than the old one but the room was still too hot, so put more shelves in finally got the printer setup on the network, made room for a monitor and a keyboard stand. This also gets the ups off the ground. With the house set to 78-80 all the time this room is 90-92 degrees average NOT good! Luckily there was a AC return right over it so I put on a louvered door (not pictured) and added a return vent to the ceiling. Have a 4" duct booster that I'll hook up to a thermostat to pull air through when the AC is not on to at least circulate air.
driveway being about 300ft long I hate taking out the recyling every week so we have 4 bins, made this little stand that fits between the garage doors holds 4 bins and the side part holds a stack of cardboard, when that is full you can just slide it halfway out and tie it up making a perfect size bundle.. it was windy so I ran out of primer when this pic was taken.
And then of course after all this work you need a place to rest..
I've got directions to make Adirondack chairs out of used pallets just need to get some pallets will make those to go on the opposite side of the porch next to the little pond.
Not pictured I have also:
-Cleared most of the overgrowth in the back as part of getting the invisible fence in
-primered/sealed and painted living/dining room floors, still just the subfloor since we cannot decide on what we want for style/color wood floors actually looks pretty decent.
-wired more network drops, still have more to finish terminating
-swapped out antenna in attic since 300-75 ohm adapter broke not getting local NBC at all (pissed) probably going to get the biggest f'n one I can to put on a mast outside..
-sealed all my roof vents
-sealed redid some flashing on the roof and lower siding areas.
-removed footings from deck that was not there when I moved in.
-seeded back and middle yards (front is fine)
-10,000 other things I can't recall.
