What did you do to your residence today?

Got the bricks leveled. Straight and such. I need to refill w dirt and grass seed another day back up to the bricks. I think it looks better

Master bedroom is finally done. Only five more rooms (1400 square feet) to go. Here's the progression from start to finish. Just have to hang the new ceiling fan.

Looks great, well done. The grey on the walls works really well too.

Thanks! I think my wife will have me paint every room in the house Dorian Gray before it's all over.

Opened my pool, finally. The temperature was about 65 degree, but by the time I filled it up from our well, it was down to 59 degrees. It's cold down in the ground. Now I need to clean the pool deck where it's covered with algae and then fill in the area where the hot tub was. The work never ends.

When I got home from work, I washed my car, then I mowed the lawn and started the irrigation system. I need to rig up the Rachio irrigation system to the nest cameras so that the irrigation system is triggered by the deer coming in my yard and eating the hastas and boxwoods.

(I threw in one gratuitous shot of my clean car. With all the tree pollen, it will be covered by noon tomorrow in my work parking lot.)

Dorian Gray

Can't believe they called it 'Dorian Gray'

Interesting shadow in the foam pic. Axe murderer with a really long body about to attack the M5?

I sold my gas pressure washer after 5 years for 90% of what I paid for it, and I bought a electric 3000 psi ryobi (1.1gpm) and it did the job just fine.... but.. big learning curve with electric, it will remove the dirt, but it doesn't wash it away, so I did like 2 squares at a time, then I would use 40 degree wand and push all the dirt to the next few sections, and continue.
this took me a couple hours.

however I only paid 260 bucks for this 3000 psi ryobi, and it did an exceptional job, just I have to do rinses between sections to remove the dirt that it breaks free from the surface cleaner. can't complain otherwise. it is more convenient though, the gasser gave me issues every 2 years with carb despite using stabilizer.

You want a dry ice, soda or sand blast for that...dry ice is best.

I have no idea what your comment means. lol

Hello; Not anything i did other than stack some wood.

Hello; Noticed a Robin nest. I have been buying some fresh firewood and stacked it in my car port to age. The nest is on a piece of wood sticking out a bit near the middle of the center stack of wood. The two lighter color stacks are fresh. The dark wood is well aged and will be used next winter.
This past winter was colder than has been usual so i used more wood. I tend to only have a fire during serious cold spells or when the power is out. Had more cold spells last winter.

Hello; The eggs are now chicks.

Cut half the front yard yesterday after work and did the other side after food shopping today.

Took my little 3000 psi Ryobi to grandmas and did her driveway and sidewalk and around her house back patio etc. it’s never been pressure washed in 10 years.

she’s ecstatic. This little unit does a great job honestly. Don’t regret giving up the hassle of gas pressure washer, only con is takes a little longer due to less gpm. Meh it’s not an everyday task so no regret with switchover

It started raining so I will come back and finish up her curbs.

Hello; The eggs are now chicks.

when I was cutting grass I saw like 6 birds running from me/mowing I thought the first one I saw was a hurt bird, then later I saw more of them running instead of flying.

thena bigger one kept flying from fence down to them trying to usher them away from me.

dawned on me, those are the baby bird eggs I had in my bush, they didn’t know how to fly yet. I checked the eggs and sure enough they was all gone except one ): one must of not made it.

but glad to see they are growing up safely. I was real careful mowing to make sure none gotcaught in mower.

don’t birds know how to fly when they are born? I thought was instinct.

Their wings aren't strong enough until they're older and they need mostly full feathers.

Some mothers push the slow ones out of the nest to get them onto the program.
