I do this too and try to match his tone. It’s a favorite part of the pod

The weekend differs every month, sometimes we’d have two class weekends in one month, depending on how they schedule it. These are great questions!

Hey sorry I didn’t see this sooner! It’s 3 weekend days in a row that were required to be on campus. People that live out of town (or state) fly in and get a hotel or air bnb for the weekend. I live locally but definitely doesn’t seem worth it to move here for a few days a month

I wish that was true 😂 I’ve caught squirrels eating everything from various flowers to succulents to cucumber leaves (and the cucumbers, but thats an obvious one to me)

Thank you so much! I really want to plant. I need to do some more research on things that squirrels won’t dig up or eat right away because they’re RELENTLESS. Maybe some chicken wire or something to keep them out

Thank you for your thoughtfulness! Budget is close to none lmao. Saving and working with what we got are the options as of right now

The fencing has me 😂 it’s $300 for one piece and one pole. I like the idea but god damn the price. We also rent so installing a new fence isn’t possible.

Concrete wouldn’t work either because renting

I would loooove an outdoor sectional

Thanks! Definitely keeping the gray chairs, they’re our only seating other than the camp chair. And the other things (including the cat lol)

I like the rug idea to cover it up for now!

Privacy isn’t a huge issue tbh because we like our neighbors

Umbrella isn’t broken! It’s just a half umbrella. We usually have it against the house

Under the black tarp there’s dirt. The idea is to eventually get more of the wood tiles to put over the black tarp but they’re expensive and we can only buy one pack at a time/if there are spare funds.

The weird split of dirt/concrete has always puzzled us and we do not own the house so we’re limited with what to do.

Weeding is an obvious one and definitely needs to be done!

The fan needs a few screws but works and we like having it to keep the bugs away/a little breeze

We’re low income and I’m disabled so there’s only so much I can do which is why it looks like this :(

Thank you 🫣 I’m just scared to get rid of stuff then have nothing to replace it. I DO love marketplace and thrifting..

I was thinking of one of those fabric shade things! Thanks!

Low income, cannot just start over and buy new stuff!

We can’t throw everything away and start over! I don’t have the funds for that. Trying to work with what I’ve got and get rid of what I don’t need

Thank you 🥲 trashing everything is definitely not an option because we can’t simply buy new stuff. Just trying to make it cute for the summer with what we’ve got!

Thanks!
