In less than seven hours I am most definitely and without a doubt going to post a picture of my yard ITT (in this thread) so if you feel like yard-chat is something you want to participate in, then this post is a heads up to let you know that yes, there's going to be a picture of my yard here pretty soon and I will be in the market for talking about lawn care, hedges and even my grill. It's a Weber gas grill and I got it from my father in law when he upgraded to a bigger model. Now I feel that was a mistake, since whenever we're together he mentions that my gas grill is smaller than his, which is essentially a way for him to seem like a bigger and more economically wealthy man than me, the man who is married to his daughter. So in that way, I do kinda regret not just buying a big gas grill myself, but on the other hand I use the thing like maybe 5 times a year and I don't really like it, so it's really money saved if you think about it. Anyway, the picture is going up pretty soon and I will be interested in having a nice, civil yard-related chat with other goons here, later. Thank you and god bless. fake : looking at this thread in the preview it's very... I dunno, dry-looking? Like there's just s a paragraph of text and not much to catch the eye, so here's my favourite forums smiley:

Right now I am watching a series of youtube tutorials on how to use an old fashioned loom and let me tell you I am way in over my head, here. The yard pic is still coming though.

Vitalis Jackson posted:Say, how do you get rid of the henbit and speedwell? I tried using Weed-b-Gone (well, a knockoff) a couple of weeks ago and it didn't do squat. Was the weather too cool or something? HAha I don't know man, I just use a rake and wear gloves and pull poo poo I don't like to look at out of the ground w. my hands. e: there's a bunch of moss in my lawn, like it's probably 60% moss at this point and I'm just out there like a retard with a rake, because I guess we're like a no-chemical household.

That's a cool as heck yard. Here's my yard again. It's pretty hard to photograph, because everything is so overgorown but there's like this whole second section behind the swingset + trees and its basically twice the size of what you can see here and I don't know if I have the mental or physical strength to hit all of it with my rake

ChairmanMeow posted:Hello friend, that ivy is pretty but it's going to go under your gutters and shingles and gently caress up your roof and stuff. Pull it down! If you want whatever. You're right. I pulled down a thick wall of the stuff on the other side of the house and it'd gotten up under the shingles and it took me all day to get out. If it'd been up to me I would just take it all down but the wife really likes it.

Here's a picture of the main patio, which is directly in front of the yard, and which is where I usually stand when I attempt to photograph the yard.

So far, my experiments with hitting the patio + patio furniture with a rake have not yielded positive results and the grapevines are out of control.

The little old couple that lived here before never did any real yard work so I'm still uncovering these flagstone formations all over the place and its sort of like a treasaure hunt.

A guy at work told me I should know how to use github and I'm sitting here making "bwuh? Zuh?? Wuh...???" noises at my computer and I can't figure it out and I'm strongly considering bringing my rake to work tomorrow to hit the guy. e: Basically I like my rake and if you want an idea of how I feel about it and what my life is like, imagine that classic scene from the Simpsons (Cape Feare) where sideshow bob keeps stepping on rakes and going "grhjm," except instead of a cartoon character its a sad white dude discovering a bunch of rakes and going "oh, excellent." over and over.

sporklift posted:Yard mowed then beat down with rakes. That's a powerful rake. Yard update: my kid and I found a mouse. He lives in a hole under one of the trees. We've seen him two days in a row and she's calling him "her mouse" :  Tangentiel yard-like update. While my house is not a yard (it's a house), I've just spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to get my underfloor heating back online since the entire house suddenly lost heating today and it turned out that for some reason the microcontroller controlling all the valves had rebooted or something, and none of the valves, there were like 10, were marked so I had to trace them and sort of experiment and it was hard work and my wife wouldn't let me hit the hardwood floors with my rake, which would have solved the problem. e: how the hell do you use that POS mower to accomplish anything, mine has more horse power than my freaking car and I can barely bring myself to actually mow anything.
