That's my point. Seriously, becoming a trend. I like outdoors work but the money and time trying to maintain a good lawn is absolutely preposterous. Much harder here maybe as all pesticides are banned.

If you drop pre-emergent early spring and some bi-weekly nitrogen in the fall your lawn will look better than 95% of lawns out there. |

Right, i had about 4000 sq feet, to firstly see and fertalise and water that amount of lawn was just eye watering, again, weed killer is banned here and the dandylions just run RAMPANT if your lawn is not SUPER SUPER SUPER thick, any gap and they take root so fast it is scary. Clover blocks them out and needs about 1/100th the time and money to look after.

Painted my closet (it was flat white before). Builders painted the whole house flat white. The next step is probably removing all this crappy carpet the builders installed and putting in hardwood flooring on the second floor including bedrooms.

I'm refreshing our fireplace. Got the sheetrock back on and now I'm contemplating if I should go further and replace/lower the mantel and install tv above the fireplace.
What's yours guys thoughts? Do TVs belong above the mantel or keep the fireplace as its own focal point? Our fireplace is in our great room, not the formal living room.

I'd say if the TV works elsewhere I would leave it elsewhere. I think fireplaces look better without a TV above them and the TVs are too high when installed over a fireplace most of the time. But some rooms do not provide a better alternative location where the TV can be seen better so it really depends on the room.

I would gut and replace with newer slim fireplace and place tv above it. Old fireplaces tend to hog where a tv should go imho, and the TV ends up being way too high.

My current projects are more pedestrian. Velcro'ing the unvelcro'd and trying out different finishes on walnut for some black pipe shelves I'm making. The latter is so damn iterative and I'm sure there are options I have left to try! Plus not all pieces finish/color the same. 4 finishes shown. The smaller board is more blond because of less heartwood. </crappy phone pix>

Roof, patio, driveway and sidewalk getting cleaned today. Trying soft wash for roof this time - no walking on roof. Hope it works better than guys walking on the roof, which always results in a roof leak during the Spring. Pics before cleaning.

Installing a new irrigation system then resodding only to turn it into a rental a few years later and watching it go back to what it is right now would have me only doing very basic work and improvement to make it look decent. Once you are headed to it being a rental it needs to be looked at as a business where things people won't pay for has you not doing them. At least for places I have lived a perfect yard and irrigation system won't increase the rent much.

What amazes me (as a realtor) is the amount of people who will put their homes up for sale, doesn't matter if it's $300k or $1.4mil, and don't clean up there exterior better. Pressure washing is easy and takes a few hours (can rent the equipment or buy pretty cheap), and having your pavers on your driveway clean, will really help that house show that it's worth the price you're listing at. So many people don't bother with that and man will it make a difference. I recommend to my clients to look into it.

The other thing I like to keep up with that a lot of people neglect is the windows. We have a great window wash guy who does the exterior for only $110. We were getting it done 2x / year and I was using Windex outdoors with a water deionizer in between. Now I’m thinking for that price, just have him out 3-4x / year.
