What home improvement work did you do today?

I did a lot of work around the property last weekend. I still have the tractor at my house so I'm making the most of it while it's here. I pulled a bunch of stumps out and filled in the holes, then cut access to the back of my property for my UTV. I can't wait until burn season, there's going to be some big burn piles this year.









We have some really cool deer hanging around the house this year as well.

 

I may try a "bigger burn" this winter
Looks like you could hand feed that guy, that's pretty dang cool. And convenient if you ever need to harvest any meat.

 

Only when empty...

 

I started taking down a berry bush surround set up I did a few years ago. There was water right below and I didn't want to plant the PT right into water, even though I guess I could have. Anyways, it turned into some huge convoluted mess and a bit of an eyesore. Wife hates it.

So down it comes. I got 60-70% done today, I'll finish the rest tomorrow. Might try to reuse some of the 4x4's for railing posts on our deck. Then I'll wrap all the bushes with some netting this fall to keep the deer off them. Have some blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.

 

Little project this morning. Trying to keep dirt from tracking into the back of the shop (the most used door on the whole house)
Small pit, stone and drain to sand layer, removable commercial-ish fiberglass grate. Happy with the end result.

Addition: Forgot to mention, this thing is really stout and strong. My 225ish lbs barely flexes the grate, I mean like maybe 1/8". Initially I wanted to do a simple heavy gage expanded metal, but they wanted way too much for a piece of that.
When it comes time to clean/vacuum out, the stone may not have been the best material for the pit... Maybe some pavers in there? Concrete seems like too much work and might heave/crack through winter.
I didn't get fancy with the detail on the corners so there is a gap... I'm calling it a "drain way"

 

Need to get a new battery for my tractor. Went to do the lawn after work and I couldn't get it to start. My jump pack didn't want to kick her over either. Had to jump it with my Tundra to finally get it running.

 

Came home from vacation to see shop done and doors on. The lean-to and dirt work should be done early next week

 

That thing is awesome.
