My first, you ****, I need a moment....

Pines I thought the beds were glass are they not. I am going to get into that some day just need to get some of the list knocked down to a manageable level, I cant concentrate well when I'm buried.
I worked on the gazebo today, I installed the hurricane proof cupola, Dalton did me a favor by two toning it. I added a little color with some rustoleum.

Glass is an option for the bed. Flexible magnetic plates are the rage too. They need a nice flat steel bed to be used as the "heating plate".

My lonely one printer has the FANCY glass plate. It has a coating etched in the surface to help with the stickiness that is required for PLA. PETG however will stick sooo much ... it will flake the glass off the bed. That is serious sticky. A glue medium should be used like purple gluestick.

Better use of your plates... ENCLOSURE !!! If you want to print ABS or NYLON... you need to put the printer in a box. The box needs to hold in the heat.

Thanks guys,
I got the backhoe out and dug a trench around the gazebo to install a drain tile. Last week the rain was running across the floor, I'm hoping the tile and some rock will divert the water around instead of over it.

There were lots of roots against the concrete.
20210507_123032.jpeg
Ran it around both sides.
20210507_142610.jpeg
I went to the pit and got three tons of stone.
I got some of the stone spread but ran out of time. A bunch of the family got together and went to the Dam Deli for dinner, on Friday night the have all you can eat catfish and hushpuppys with two sides, I think I ate too much.

A Foghorn silhouette would have been awesome.

I thing the root of the problem is you should have place a hot tub there instead of a patio. Looking really good.

X, probably but I'm putting two block walls down below to flank the hobbit house and the drain tile will continue behind those walls for drainage. Since most of this is on the downhill side of the property it will help control the water and mess better.
Bugnut, I ate way too much catfish last night. The Dam Deli is one of my favorite places, there name is in reference to all the Tva dams in our area, it is a river rat hangout also( folks that are guides down the rapids are known as river rats).
Shorty, I just gave the hot tub away, it left last week. It was almost a goat instead of a chicken.
One of our neighbors has almost 200,000 chickens on his place.

The gazebo turned out awesome! Looks like a good place to sit and have a tall cold one at the end of the day :beer:

I'll wait until you have the landscape done before I stop by :lol: :lol:

Thanks Don,
I finished the gravel this morning.
Now I need to get the block walls done and then I can get the yard leveled out and plant some grass.
20210509_122416.jpeg
The gravel will be extended to reach the driveway later.
20210509_122437.jpeg
The ground falls so fast it's hard to mow.
20210509_122453.jpeg
One wall will go from the gazebo to the well house.
20210509_122511.jpeg
The other wall will mirror the first wall.
20210509_122502.jpeg
I bought these last year, they will be put up this year.

5 point harness might be helpful on that cart...

A plate for a bumper sticker on the back would be cool too. You can make it "replaceable" so you can have multiple bumper stickers that can be swapped in and out.

My mind... it's a terrible place sometimes.

I almost went over the edge yesterday with the zero turn, it slid on the grass and was about a foot from the edge when it finally bit in. I had a pucker moment there.


Been there once or twice on a zero turn. What was your pucker factor? 10 on the open ended pucker factor scale means the suction is able to lift about 750-1000 lbs. I've hit about a 9 a few times.

That pucker "lift" suction can only be obtained while sitting on a vinyl seat naked. Cloth material degrades the lift by a factor of 2 for each layer.

I have a small "pump/hill" that provides a serious LEAN away from the fall when I mow with the Cub Cadet. I don't like zero turns... I'm too old school.

So now we know you’re the guy up there that makes the new stories for naked yard mowing.:lol_hitti

Down here in Florida, the sweat would make any clamping pressure impossible, your sliding off!,!

Once I get the footer poured my buddy (Biggun) is going to build block walls, then I will landscape in front of the wall with a row of gardinas or azaleas in a mulch bed then it will be good.

The wall will run from the corner of the gazebo to within four feet of the well house then turn left to create a stair well.

Looking at your painted furniture I had to chuckle because I'm putting off painting some patio furniture for the boss and I'm running out of time (She's gona blow)
