Re: Baby steps towards the future gardens of Beebe
Most folks have probably heard of the "no mow May" concept. Due to wacky weather, it was very easy to do this all the way until the end of May this year, despite things growing earlier than usual. Just a moment ago, I thought I saw a bunny hopping in our yard, and realized it was a squirrel. When ev...

This is great news to my ears.Gothichome wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 11:37 amAs far as the great lumber shortage, prices have started to fall because no one (at retail) is buying lumber. The masses have refused to pay ransom level prices. At least in our area.

Re: So...it has come to this.
aislinn , we've mostly ended up dealing with some mechanicals on the interior, but I have some glaze (especially on upper east and one south window) where the glaze has dried out so bad it starting to separate and crumble off. This year may be the year I finally brave this still-feels-new-to-me wor...

Re: What's happening in your garden?
Ack...! Forgot to post the picture of the Emerald and Gold that went rogue I took on May 23rd...not the best picture, but clearly shows how it's doing whatever it wants. https://www.growingingardner.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-May-23-Emerald-and-Gol.jpg Hell, yes, my front yard's a mess. ;-)...

Re: Baby steps towards the future gardens of Beebe
Time seems to be flying by, and it turns out being first sick from the second shot then busy playing catch-up on indoor chores was a good thing. :dance: Not great for photo sharing, though, because I've not had time to even take any in the last week and change save my Tuesday office window view just...

Re: Lumber "shortage"
It's definitely a flavor of "all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again" to me. In the Ketchum article, they mentioned the killing blow was a strike down or repeal of some law related to short term rentals and occupancy rates overall. Once that was done away with, it was all syste...

Re: Lumber "shortage"
There is no shortage. This is a pure lie by the elites (think Koch brothers, whom own Georgia Pacific). Exactly. Which is why I put the original title in quotes. Just like the supposed oil shortage in part of the Great Recession. Nobody seemed to notice all the heavily laden tankers low in the wate...

Re: Our "new" old house
I don't know how I missed it before, but I love your porch swing! :romance-hearteyes: It's good to hear your home feels "just right". I do think as folks have stopped cooking as often, the flow gets lost along the way. It took us a while to start to feel settled in, and even now after a few years we...

Re: Retriever Ridge
Yay! Photos of all sorts of green. Your new fenced garden is bigger than our entire lot.
Looking forward to future garden updates. (Saw the one in Farrington, which led me here.)

Re: Lumber "shortage"
Saw this article tonight... Lumber is adding $34,000 to the cost of a new house: BofA report "Among these high construction costs is the price of lumber. Lumber prices have spiked in 2021, driving up housing prices even higher. 'Given the rapid rise in lumber prices,” the report says, “the total cos...
