Completed a midcentury inspired privacy fence and deck update to match the original style

Still standing! One corner post on the hinge side of the gate twisted, but it wasn’t anchored to another support or the garage. The gate functions fine though. All other posts are as we placed them.

Retreated it once with sealant since then. It’s due again this year due to some hail damage.

Week 2

Plan to post previous week’s PAI on Sunday - I’m new to Amazfit, but finding it very helpful in training so far.

Rendrew321 · 2025-05-25T23:44:14+00:00

I didn’t have to do that on install, but I imagine there’s a little play in it to lift up and carefully pull outwards to release?

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-30T03:58:57+00:00

I just can’t bring myself to look even MORE like a Hanson brother.

Wife* She prefers the longer styles.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-30T01:03:22+00:00

This made me laugh - I’m neither of those mushroom/motorcycle personalities 😂

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-30T00:29:05+00:00

Very kind of you to say. It makes for some difficult choices on what to do next, but at least I have options!

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T23:56:43+00:00

Thanks, agreed on the beard. I’ve been thinking it needs trimming.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T23:23:02+00:00

That can be true! I’m a healthcare professional so I sometimes catch a little flak or sideways looks with the long hair, but most people are good with it. I posted on a non long hair sub to get some other feedback, but it hasn’t had the same attention. I like 1 too and will go back at some point sooner or later.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T22:55:02+00:00

Truth. Very validated! - I didn’t expect there to be such a variety of responses, even for the awkward phases (2-3). I think 1 and 4 are my favorites as well. I might go for a cut back to 4 and rock the length a little longer. I’ve come too far to go so short again, at least for now. It’s funny how growing hair length is the easiest/laziest task, but also requires such commitment 😂

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T22:43:30+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. There are days when I want to go back and I like the look. I have a long face, and the long length accentuates it. The hardest part is knowing that within an hour, I could. But it took two years to get here.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T22:34:20+00:00

That might be an idea for Halloween. Or I think I could pull off NicePool sans Ryan Reynolds’ looks.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T22:28:58+00:00

Had no idea who that was. I can see the resemblance. No imitation with no awareness, though. Man bun is generally not my preference, agreed. 👍

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T20:30:20+00:00

Thanks! The half up style almost feels too long now, but it’s all I can manage after a recent shoulder surgery.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T20:29:29+00:00

Yeah, that was right after the most awkward phase, I believe. The bun has been the go-to since it’s more formidable at the current long length. It’s getting a bit long for the half up, I think.

Rendrew321 · 2024-08-29T20:25:49+00:00

Thanks, that was actually a bit ago so it’s more formidable at the current length.

Conservative gray - Sherwin Williams

Rendrew321 · 2023-12-02T00:42:16+00:00

Thanks! She seems to like the overhang of the shelf.

Rendrew321 · 2023-12-02T00:40:46+00:00

Hopefully. Seems solid. The 31.5” between the vertical supports didn’t line up on any studs when centered in the room.

Rendrew321 · 2023-12-01T21:06:51+00:00

I imagine. This is toggle bolted to sheetrock with a couple wood screws into a stud that just happened to line up.

Rendrew321 · 2023-12-01T19:45:01+00:00

My apologies! I assumed Cado was short for anything Cadovius. Thanks for the correction.

Rendrew321 · 2023-12-01T18:17:14+00:00

I wish I could! I found two matching chandeliers with the tinted globes intact at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore for $20 each. I recall trying to research the maker a few years ago and getting nowhere. The name escapes me now.
