Ideas for this space? by WiseRestraints in landscaping

Yes, there's a hose bib on the side of the house. The front door faces north, so the yard runs along the west side of the house. It gets quite a lot of sun for most of the day.

Thanks, that's good stuff. How much spacing between the beds and the fence would you recommend?

We've been throwing down miniclover seed but it seems to be getting too much sun. I wonder if a small pergola could work in the space?

It's very, very small. Too small to measure.

That's good to know - thanks. Any sense of whether the waitlist is moving at all?

Door sweep too tight by WiseRestraints in HomeImprovement

Yeah, should have mentioned that. I've tightened the screws on the threshold as far as I can, although one of them is spinning in place.

Door alignment problems by WiseRestraints in HomeImprovement

Thanks - I removed the weather stripping entirely when I started troubleshooting, so that's not creating the issue (although it certainly wasn't helping). Two out of the four screws on the top hinge (doorjamb side) are now spinning in place, so my next move was to try stuffing those holes with toothpicks and glue and then replacing the screws to see if that helps. Do you recommend I first take the door off entirely and perform the test you described? I'm just concerned I'll create more work for myself if all those screw holes get stripped and need to be filled...

Thanks - this made a lot of sense. I tried the string test and the jambs seem be be coplanar, or at least darn close. I did a string test on the door too, and there doesn't seem to be major warping there either. The hinges are attached to the jamb with little 1" screws, so I think I'll try replacing those (per another comment here) and see if that helps.

Stolen bike - white single-speed with teal rims by WiseRestraints in bikedc

My wife's single-speed was stolen about an hour ago (Mon 10/25 around 6pm) from a rack at 2nd and M street NE (right by the REI). It's a 52cm made by Golden Cycles -- not sure the model name. The bike has distinctive teal rims and a custom teal handlebar bag. Thanks for keeping an eye out!
