MacKenzie Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Tyrus, those tomatoes are way ahead of mine, in fact we have a frost warning out for tonight and tomorrow night. We are not out of the woods yet. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are 2 doors actually. A conventional one from the kitchen - the KK is just feet from it, which is great in bad weather. And, there's a sliding patio door to the deck from the dining room. It's not very practical anymore because of the dog door insert, which takes up over a foot of the opening. Plus, in the summertime, the gazebo also gets a bit in the way. @Tyrus - took me a while to find balusters that I liked. Didn't want the "traditional" look of wooden spindles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not out of the woods yet. I just planted my tomatoes/peppers/herbs yesterday morning. I'd had them under the gazebo most of the week and brought them out into the direct sun for a few hours each day to get them acclimated. We have a cool snap in the forecast here mid-week (low in the low 50s), but no where near frost. Thankfully!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have been in for at least a couple of weeks. An old dog kennel around a raised bed, great for keeping out all the critters. Too, too many trees.

Looking good Tyrus. You filled that deck in a hurry.Have a look at the LED lighting options available. They are unreal- low consumption and huge output. We recently lit a footy field- 140m diameter with a bank of 8 LED lights spread over two poles.I must warn you though, looking at lights is a rabbit hole.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many trees makes the moss grow, cuts the sun shine out of my garden and they loom over you at 75 feet waiting to drop a branch on your head. Sure their nice, providing a cool shade on a summer day but, when a noreaster is passing through or a heavy snow starts to bend those branches your opinion might change. These red oak, white oak and maple are all older trees and have been spared the saw.......can't say that for 3 eastern white pines I recently took down. In college as a side job I cut cord wood for a local farmer, I cut a lot of timber.....today I have grown an appreciation for these tall giants, I look for balance and generally give in and let them have there space too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I just got back from an e bike ride. They are so much fun. I have two e bikes I try to ride 5 days a week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Wow, what a great bike, Bruce. Does it come with snow tires? I'd need that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Sorry Mac no snow tires😒But it has a belt drive instead of a chain, plus an automatic or manual transmission with a push of a button and last but not least hydraulic brakes. It’s really fun to ride. My best friend made the saddle bags for it. Im going to close for now I just found out one of my best friends passed away yesterday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike I have is called Lectric. They can be unlocked into class 3 which means 28 mph, best to do a few mods to compliment that. It has disc brakes not hydraulic though and can be folded in half for easy transportation. Great on bike trails laid out around scenic areas, enjoy and my condolences on your loss.
