Landscape border
The weekend was too nice to resist working in the yard. We decided to add a border around the bird bath area and raise the mulch higher to prevent the weeds from coming through, Monday the temps go up so the plan is to paint the front of the garage.
Faucet added:
Since I had so much to do in the main house crawl space with the A/C ducts I decided it was a good time to add a water faucet connection to the front of the house, there was only one connection for a garden hose and it was in the rear.
This turned out to be much more than expected because at the rear crawl where the water line comes in from the meter I saw it dripping, hose clamps were used on “QUEST” 3/4″ pipes with that said the screws were completely rusted away, hose clamps would never meet code today, QUEST even had a recall some years ago. I bought “Sharkbite” connectors to transition the 3/4″ poly to 3/4″ PEX tubing, then more “Sharkbite” connectors to go from PEX to PVC. $49 later I was able to “Tee” off the PVC and add a front faucet.
Also I found beams for the porch no longer connected, nails had rusted away, that needed repairs as well.
