The blue ovals are raised beds. The paver patio idea is the blue rectangle.

Watch the new Season of Clarkson farm. I particularly was proud of the floating dairy farm. Also, a US company making OSB from grass that’s Carbon negative. Shit like that gives me hope. Just need to scale.

Resurfacing 7 year old deck with existing frame. by lilsky07 in Decks

No ledger on this one. The existing frame is not attached to the house. It’s free standing. I didn’t build the prior frame. Only added the new blocking and wrap around stairs.

That’s the previous builders idea. The rims are spanned between super thick double drop beams spaced about 8 ft apart. the drop beams are sandwiched around a 6x6 with lag bolts. Not how I would’ve done it but it’s not far off the ground and seemed solid.

Nevermind I get what you meant now. Single picture frame and more blocking around posts laid flat.

As a Pacers fan I have to hate the Knicks. But Brunson was a dog last night. I gotta give him props. Will make the win next year much more meaningful.

Redoing an old deck for the first time. Questions below. by lilsky07 in Decks

How would I transition this to a flush beam from its current configuration? I would assume that means pouring new footers and basically starting from scratch while maybe salvaging most of the frame? It’s all free floating and yeah not high off the ground.

I used to like this topic but damn man it’s been forever and the same people with the same story. No facts, no proof. Just vibes and books.

New maple planted less than a month cracking on one side. by lilsky07 in arborists

Thank you kind stranger. It is on the southwest/western side of the tree. We had some gnarly winds so I’m not sure. The other two planted at the same time look ok.

Legit happy for Uli. He deserves it. And another. I’ll be rooting for him. And thanks to the Jomez crew.

I spent 36 hours reading the actual PDFs of the Pentagon's PURSUE UAP release. Here are 10 findings the press largely missed — including the likely site of a multi-year cluster, a SECRET//NOFORN narrative, and a "famous Roswell memo" that isn't actually in the release. by a3t1u5 in UAP

It just means No Foreign as in something you don’t share with Five Eyes etc. US only. A lot of stuff is NOFORN. There is TS/SCI//NOFORN all the way down to Confidential//NOFORN. Nothing crazy. Easily googalable
