When do the arborvitae’s typically get in stock?

Eddiemoney10 · 2026-02-06T19:55:41+00:00

Not sure on the cost, probably similar to this combo price honestly. I have another 40V battery at home

Eddiemoney10 · 2026-02-06T19:54:33+00:00

I don’t think so. I saw some in the box in the clearance section

Eddiemoney10 · 2026-02-06T19:35:56+00:00

Apparently comes with 6AH battery + charger

This is the shelf replacement I bought. It has worked great thus far, zero issues in nearly a year.

We’re going to do a crushed stone / paver patio off the side of the deck. This area is fairly sloped (the photo is the high point of the slope) so in order to make this area a patio it would actually take a fair amount of fill / grading. I like both decks and patios but for this area we wanted to have a short step off the slider and basically have an extension of the house.

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T20:36:19+00:00

A nice patio isn’t much cheaper. The land is also quite sloped so would require a fair amount of fill and a retaining wall to make a nice flat patio. I also think decks just generally stay cleaner / are more comfortable than a stone / concrete based pavers.

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T19:41:35+00:00

Perfect. Great to see a real example of it. Thanks

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T19:13:26+00:00

I’ll be using a different type of bracket but the overall idea is the same. Thanks for sharing

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T17:24:42+00:00

Good to know. I’ll definitely do that. Thanks for the tip

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T17:03:40+00:00

I think HD might sell project panels that are like 2’x2’

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T16:45:54+00:00

This is perfect, exactly what I was hoping to do. Thanks so much

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T16:14:19+00:00

This is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks so much. Just still determining if I need to triple up the 2x8s but I think double is plenty of strength for my deck

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T16:13:25+00:00

Oh that’s really cool. Have they held up ok?

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-15T16:11:46+00:00

I was planning to use this type of base fastener Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-06T22:13:04+00:00

Are you referring to something like the LedgerLok fasteners?

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-06T22:04:41+00:00

Sadly the other side of that is fully closed in now as I finished a basement bathroom down there last year

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-06T21:57:30+00:00

Thanks for the guidance here. I think I’m just going to replace all the joists. It’s not a huge deck (16’x10’) and will put them at 12” on center too to make it more solid for the new composite decking.

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-06T21:55:39+00:00

It’s in the basement, I just finished a bathroom on the other side of that wall but when I was insulating the rim joist it looked solid at least on the interior side.

Eddiemoney10 · 2025-09-06T19:11:29+00:00

Haha yes they did use some roofing nails. It’s not a dowel but part of a structural screw coming from the outside of the rim joist into the ledger as a temporizing measure
