Poop on the Corner
Amenities for my furry friends and the humans they bring in tow.
I know how much it stinks (literally) to carry around a smelly turd on a hot day. Since my neighborhood is great for walking, I have a lot of friends who pass by with their humans in tow.
I decided to add a doggie amenity station to the corner of my fence: water, trash, poop bags. I had a small seasonal faucet installed in this corner when I had the irrigation installed... partly so i can easily water in my new plantings on this side of the yard... but really... let's be honest... partly for the dogs.
Disposer and Dispenser
It’s the little things.
When my garbage disposal started to die, I figured it was a good time to deal with the awkwardly wired switch below the cabinet. The old disposal was hard-wired, with a switch box mounted to the vertical trim board between the two cabinet doors. Not a bad solution, but it meant that I couldn’t easily unplug the dispenser and plug in a new one. And I couldn’t simply plug in an additional appliance... say, an instant hot water dispenser.
Garden Irrigation
Installing drip irrigation in the garden was like playing with Legos for grown-ups.
Doesn't this look like something you'd buy at Toys R Us? I'm totally into it. Each of my garden beds is now equipped with a series of small drippers to keep my plants hydrated without soaking the leaves. For now it's on a battery-operated timer, but when I install an irrigation system in the yard, this will tie into it and be its own zone.
