General Upgrades & Ideas

How is your back doing so far?

I have left it alone since Sunday, so it is feeling better now. I think that I'm going to go after more of the rock tonight. I now have some 100 pound contractor cleanup bags that I'm going to load the rest of the rock into. Once it is cleared from the front yard, I'm going to Facebook marketplace, Daybreak Free Stuff, KSL, etc. and just advertising it as come and shovel what you want for free. I kind of wish the giant bag of rock was out of the garage, so I didn't have to have people coordinate when they come and get the rock.

If people don't come get the rock, the kids are going to be very disappointed as their next job will be moving rock from the giant bag to smaller bags. They shall pay for the sins of their father/stepfather.

All these effing rocks are bagged up. About half outside the house the other half in the huge bag. What a stupid idea that was to do.

Now to put this worthless shit on every get stuff free website and see if anyone will take if off my hands.

The front yard already looks better with the red lava rock gone

Today, I learned that you can get rid of a lot of red lava rock really quickly if you post it online for free. Not even 24 hours later, it is all gone.

Haha. That is amazing.

Very cool, funk. I have a trailer you can use if something like that comes up in the future.

After an entire day of fighting with it, which included a cracked back flow preventer and a mystery where the eff is the water valve for the sprinklers, I sprinklers at the house are working

Nice!

The first stage of the project is done. The red rock is up and the black bark is down. We have put planted some flowers along the walkway to the door. The current plants in front of the house we will keep for now, but might change out next year.

Now to change out the bark on the other side to match the side that is done. I’m starting to understand why people enjoy yard work because the final product is satisfying

Sweet.

I just keep learning more about all the maintenance that needs to be done. I have some really bad brown spots on the lawn. Checked on the sprinkler coverage and a lot of the nozzles are clearly past their useful life or just have clogged filters. I went ahead and bought enough to go through and replace all the nozzles with high efficiency nozzles. Fortunately, they were really cheap and hopefully this solves the issue.

I'm really hoping that I'm at a place where there isn't nearly as much to do next year.

The key to this is to put a boat on your RV pad and then people will not notice the brown spots on your lawn. You may get hit up to take the young men/young women boating.

Certainly, you are well aware that the good people of the Daybreak HOA are not going to abide an RV pad let alone a boat that is visible in the neighborhood. Most garages are even hidden in an alley and people have no driveway.

My friend's is sort of hidden behind a fence.

I hope you got Toro sprinklers. Orbit, although headquartered in Utah, has taken a serious dive in their quality control lately.
