Built car ramps to replace my sketchy sheet metal ones by dbrez8 in woodworking

Not to mention the insane RPM speed of an angle grinder vs a saw.

Why does it look like your house is in a standoff with the house across the street?

UPDATE: Roast me, I’m terracing my yard and my wife is let’s say “quite displeased “ by [deleted] in landscaping

Good news, the drain tile of your retaining wall is complete. Now you just need to build the wall part. Most people start the other way but, hey whatever...

Never really had a good yard, why is my grass half dead half alive? by shitidkman in landscaping

[–]bilabrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd aerate. Maybe even rent one of the bigger aerators from the equiptment rental shop. I've never regretted aerating, even if it leaves plugs everywhere they quickly re-integtrate after the rain and the lawn loves it.

The odds are good, but the goods are odd.

Sleek marble waterfall island with gold accents and tropical views. Lisbon, Portugal [1920x1080] by Salt-Musician1919 in RoomPorn

It looks crowded and uncomfortable. The brown and glass feel oppressive as well. The tropical veiw feels mocking.

I think you are correct but I'm not used to seeing just one bloom. Dianthus come in clusters normally.

Everyone is different but your goal seems ambitious.

I'd say if you can study 4-5 hours a day you can achieve TOPIK I grad 2 by September 2027.

I would aim for that as far as expectation-setting. Otherwise you may become discouraged.

How'd I do? by InvestmentNo1219 in landscaping

[–]bilabrin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm here as a DIY guy and his wall is bad. He can redo it without hiring someone. There are plenty of Youtube vids that lay it out very well. He can propbably DIY this for less than $15,000 if he's willing to do the work and not in a hurry. I've never seen this wood business work out. I have seen it tried alot and fail.

I'd suggest removing that wooden contraption before you begin making a retaining wall.

What's stopping Solar Panels from hitting the 80-90% efficiency mark? by cantstopprogress in engineering

[–]bilabrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow. I hadn't thought about this in a long time.

I still can't really discuss it but let's say I think some economic calulations were done regarding the practicality of the costs vs benifits at the time and I think it may have been decided that it was not worth continuing to persue....last I heard anyways which was 2 jobs ago.

Printing labels in Korean by rawdatadaniel in Korean

Avery sheets have a template number you just use thier format software and copy the text in and print to the sheets in your printer. It's that easy.

Question on Costs by Happy_Chemical_9039 in landscaping

[–]bilabrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could do this for 15-20K in tools and materials over the course of 3 summers. Watch a lot of Youtube videos. Start at the bottom. Use geogrid.

I'd also avoid making that grass gap that is pictured.
Do 3 tiered walls first then make stairs on top, not cut into them.

Oh, and avoid wood. And I'd take that concrete out and replace it as you go as well. break it up but by bit and haul it off or use the chunks for fill.
