Yeh. Was thinking about doing a floating deck in the backyard and the lumber is 3 times it was couple years ago.
We thinking about a ground level patio instead.
As a homeowner I try to do as much as I can by myself. I just did some Landscaping on my property by putting down rubber mulch. Rubber mulch holds his color for 12 years versus 1-3 years for regular mulch
I got quotes for everything between $1200 and $2,000
I went to Walmart and loaded up my car. The first time I got 50 bags and the guy miscounted and only charged me for 22
Then I used the stupidity of Walmart against them. I needed more so I went back a second time , paid for 20 but took 40 because they didn't send anybody back there with me. And all I paid about $600. I have 6 bags I'm about to take back to Walmart to get my $36 back
I got some mulch guard for the edges, this look really makes the Oleander bushes I bought stand out

dammit I fucked up. My wife was going to get me the ryobi 6 combo kit, but i told her nah, cuz i already had the drills and batteries. i didn't see myself setting up a bench for the saws. But watching dude use the multi-tool i remembered i have to run some cables in the wall and that would be great.
good stuff man. a lot of stuff if you take the time you can do yourself around the home. i'll be doing our flower bed. where u have the black edges I'll be using decorative stone.
The walmart round my way have the materials out in the lot so far from the store. i saw a guy loading up too.

I hear you on that. I was talking to my dad a few weeks back, and a friend of his was planning on some DIY projects in the yard this summer. He asked me to guesstimate some prices / quotes on lumber required. I was way off. Like you said, x3 ...
Nice. I was helping my dad with yardwork on Father's Day. Got out there before the heat of the day. Weeding near the boulevard and making a half-circle rockery with mid-sized boulders. Going to plant some small trees and shrubs in the area soon. Thankfully it was shady for 3/4 of the time that morning. We're getting the heatwave this weekend now. Everyone's laying low.
I have a riding mower and it's just a Craftsman so it's not really good. But, I don't care about all that. While I am cutting the grass I have on my Zune, yes a Zune, full of 30 GB of music from Bob Seger to Marvin Gaye to Jodeci to John Mayer to Adele tu o Lionel Richie to Brother Lynch Hung and so on. And I'm singing the entire time
Funny thing was I was cutting a few weeks ago and I went straight from John Denver to Trick Daddy Shut up. One of my neighbors busted out laughing at the contrast
Yea I understand, as a grass cutter certain grass stands out...
The Zune! I remember hitting up a Best Buy with a friend of mine, and he selected one for a family member's bday gift.
On a funny side note (early-2000s) ...I won an Mp3 player in a contest. Forget the brand name. It held approx. 32 - 40mb. Believe I had a rotation of 8 songs on it ... played that one walking to and from streetball ... back in the Kazaa or Bearshare days!
Something similar to this one ...

I got .6 acres. It takes me 1 hour to cut it with a riding mower. I would never cut my grass if I had to walk it
Something like this bring that value to a whole different level
I'm not going to lie oh, this is beautiful. But I don't have a zero-turn so it's a little bit difficult for me to do this
That's some healthy grass.
i feel ya, but the times I do stripes is not with a zero turn.... look at this... I know they didn’t used a zero turn because their lines ain’t wide
some folks brought this and it help with striping
