We built two years ago. Had lush green sod on purchase. Now 1/3 of the back yard under dense trees is a mudpit. Portions of the lawn are now clover runs. I actually think all lawn should be clover. It's tougher than grass and doesn't grow too tall.

There are at least six nights a year when it's cold enough to build a fire in the fireplace.
Don't know about the one in the pic but most of those open like a drawer. You just set the food down in it and push it closed.
Not that I would ever do it myself, but that thing looks like a bitch to clean.
Mrs. Herk is getting this faucet because she can turn it on with only one hand.
Im really confused. I don’t think I’ve ever used 2 hands to turn on a faucet in my life... what’s different about that thing?
If schools would have been remote/hybrid after the first semester that would happen...
I opted not to spend the $2k to put doors on mine, reasoning that I was alone all day anyway. That didn’t work out as planned...
Or go with naturalized areas. Slowly working toward turning my backyard into a designated wildlife habitat. Just say no to grass.
I think my youngest son is trying to do that at his house right now. I’m thinking his landlord won’t be impressed.
Huge fan of native landscaping. If done right it's looks amazing, if not, looks like total shit though. (FL perspective, not sure how it looks anywhere else).

We already have a large wooded area. We're doing the rest in zones...can't afford to do it all at once. Doing our deep shade area right now - ferns, jack-in-the-pulpits, serviceberry, columbine. We'll do the southwest side of the house next...it gets the most sun. I want some blueberry bushes.

You're gonna need a lot of peat moss and pine fines if you want blueberries.
What's wrong with my blueberry bush?
Okay, this is my first season with blueberries. In the photo from left to right are Emerald, SharpBlue and Jewel. As you can see, the SharpBlue isn't looking so good. Interestingly, it seemed to be doing the best in the spring, but now, not so much. What could be wrong? The bed is filled with...
moved all of mine to one room. now we just go to the 'ceiling fan room' and get it over with
I still have the same greasy range hood I had in my first apartment. have installed it in every house I've lived in since -- just to remind me of where I came from.

Anyone else have the wifi led lightbulbs? Pretty baddass. Almost started a thread on this a yr ago.
I never cared for them. Then we figured out we could have our kid run obstacle courses until he fell asleep.
