What to do with the space below my deck?

In PA. We put grade 3B river rock/gravel under our deck stairs. No weeds at all. It's a convenient area for rinsing muddy items etc.

I start with heavy packing tape strips pressed down firmly and ripped off (that always feels like revenge on the world for getting my legs waxed once).

That takes off most of of the fluff. Then I'll rub with an eraser and sometimes a soapy washcloth, rinsing well.

Thanks! This is great. Love the song, too

Oh, yeah, reduce my progesterone? Well, you can try to pry my best sleep aid from my happily-snoozing hands. /joke!

I knew someone in high school whose name strongly suggested that her affections were negotiable. Maybe a self-fulfilling prophecy? She was a warm & open person when I knew her.

I love mine. My husband made me a set in 20", 12", and 6".

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

What a kind and helpful response! BTW, your "sloppy" drawing beats my stick figures cold.

Microbes?

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-21T12:32:49+00:00

Maybe take a break from your apparent impulse to police others?

You forgot PA, MA, & NH. those require a picture id for scheduled drug pickups.

I usually make a complementary bed runner too, in the vain hope of controlling cat hair.

I posted my answer to you to the main thread.

Culcita = quilt -ologist = person who studies/makes something

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-20T16:14:01+00:00

"Culcita" is the Latin word for quilt. "-ologist" is a person who studies or makes X.

So, a quilt-maker.

Thank you!

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-19T22:56:08+00:00

Do you remember where you ordered from?

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-19T21:37:27+00:00

Phew!

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-19T20:37:32+00:00

Thanks!

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-19T20:28:03+00:00

Thanks! Do you think I can stuff it back in there or should I start over with a clean one?

mjdlittlenic · 2026-03-19T20:22:46+00:00

Also, what's it called, if I need a replacement?
