Left to do:

stairs and railing - should be quick

stain all cedar

natural gas line for bbq

interlock around perimeter of the deck and small flower bed. Been rough without a bbq



Looking good!! And don't worry it gets easier once they eat solid food and start sleeping all night

That's the one! I'm thinking of either the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't wanna add too much colour to the cedar to be honest. Although the more colour that's in the stain, the better UV protection it has. If you're ordering let me know I need a 5 gallon bucket as well. I need to order the Gemini Restore-a-deck kit for cleaning to.

I think you'll be fine since it's cedar. If it's pressure treated that most people say that you need to let the moisture out of it for a year.

Also, if you want it to look like natural cedar, make sure you don't get too dark of a stain. That's why I want the cedartone or the honeytone. I don't want my shit looking super red.

we have a sprinkler system at our place, front and back (previous owner install), pretty sweet setup with drippers and all. used it on and off the first couple of yrs but uses to much water so didn't bother.

i'm wondering how much i should be watering. i split it up into two zones, one for the side and one for the front yard since there's not enough pressure to have them all on at the same time. so I basically run zone 1 for 20 mins at 4am, then run zone 2 for 20mins at 4:25am. can't wait to see my water bill

^ keep us updated on the cost! was it a bitch to figure out what/where to buy and how to install? I'm always worried about it leaking underground and costing a shit load of money 3 months later lol

beats watering daily like an idiot.

it definitely takes a chore out. even if i can to manually turn it on it's as simple as turning a valve and everything is watered. i'll try to calculate out how much more water i'm using, but honestly between the fish tank, lawn, and washing cars i go through alot of water lol

You should be using rain collection barrels and a cheap 12v pump to water your shit.

Try your best not to water daily, ideally you should only water at the very first sign of drought (the grass will have a greyish look to it)

Reason is you want the grass roots to grow down deep to get the water, which helps it when the temperature gets really hot.

Watering daily will have you getting mushrooms, red dust, moss & once the hot weather gets here the sun will dry up the water near the top of the soil, just wasting your money.

grab empty cans of tuna, or any can about 1" in height same diameter at the tuna can like cat food. Place said empty tuna cans in various spots on the lawn, turn on the sprinkler & time how long it takes your system to fill it 3/4" to 1". That's how long you have to water for & will also tell you if the coverage is even across the lawn for that zone.

Or buy about 8 of these from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.2-in-1-deluxe-rain-gauge.1001016921.html

I ordered 3 gallons and my co worker is bringing it back next week. She is like 5'1 so I felt bad ordering a 5 gal bucket lol. Obviously can't have her doing csi missions either.

I am going to that part of the states late this summer so I can grab stain for you then. Let me know if that works and I will let you know when I am going as we get closer.

i remember you telling me about that, that's my next move, i'm re-doing my fish tank water change setup so i'll have a 50 gallon drum available and i have a bunch of pumps, they should be more than enough pressure for the sprinklers. i'll have to re-route a downspout and it should fill up.
