I didn't know much about the monarch's but was hearing that they reproduce along the way, as they migrate and I though that was quite fascinating.
I had a little chuckle when I had my steps removed and someone refeered to the abscent staircase as mother in law steps
I dug a ditch once and screeded all the rocks out. layed some leaky pipe down to get rid of a muddy area. It was a lot of work but thought the process would be interesting in certain places where I might actually find things that had been buried like outside the old postal distribution outlet that burned down near me.
when I bought one of the first thigns I did was laid weed cloth down and got 27 yards of crushed and had a guy with a machien spread the stuff. since then Ive been pondering adding some crusher dust as that would turn it into a hard surface. as it is if I spin out in the snow, I just keep going and it automatically digs down and spreads crushed gravel, which is kind of nice.
I dont know if its the same there, but here they have a difference between a permanent structure and a building so if it basically floats on the ground and isn't too big I dont even think you need a permit.
I want ot build a garage but Im torn about it, maybe a laneway suite or maybe just wait as this covid thing has caused everyone to become more thrifty. in some respects it feels like we have cycled back into the days of the depression but not many near me are hurting to the extent of not having food.
here, because there are so many new houses being dug in, there is an excess of topsoil, they truck it out of the city to make way for more concrete and gravel. I see adds for "free clean dirt" I guess that's an oxymoron.
