Every home that I ever lived in going back to when I was in diapers had copper pipes, and I have yet to sweat a bad connection. Between the potentials for theft and freeze damage as well as our water eating even certain grades of stainless steel, I have to do ditch every piece of metal in our plumbing system. I wish that it wasn't necessary, but I've spent way too many mornings using the dog's bathroom out in the yard because we had to shut the water off in the house to prevent the basement from flooding after another pipe burst.....

Well, I didn't do it, but got a whiz-bang new double sump installed and the crawlspace encapsulated this week. Plus a commercial grade dehumidifier.

I hate spending that much money on something no one will ever see, we could have put hardwood floors in the entire house for the same amount, but it needed to be done. Crawlspace encapsulation, new sump pump system with batter back-up, dehumidifier and rim joist cavities spray-insulated. Maybe now we can start spending money on fun things. Not basements and plumbing/sewer. ![]() I don't know why it keeps turning my pictures sideways.... |

![]() One that we’re looking at probably has about 1000 sq ft of crawl space with fantastic joists and some vapor barrier put down. Certainly not encapsulated and is something I’d like to do. Little spooked on potential cost. |

So, my side gates were sagging and not latching well, so it was time to build some new ones. Since I overbuild everything and like the looks of it, I decided to fabricate the gates out of 4" x 4" square steel tubing and put 2 by redwood boards in it.
I made the brackets that hold the boards out of 3" x 1/4" flat bar, or course I had to make a jig to get the holes in the right place etc. In addition to the 2 big gates, I put a smaller gate so we can access the side/backyard from the front yard without opening up the big gates (it will be nice in the summer with people coming and going from the pool and not having to go through the house). For those interested, I used 'bullet' hinges, I did all my cuts with a radial arm saw with a really cool diamond blade that is made to cut steel (instead of the old carbon blades that suck), it was my first time using it, and it is great. |

I wish redwood was a little more common out here in the midwest. We can get it, but it's always special order, which pretty much rules it out for small jobs due to min order sizes. |

Recently completed this backyard project. The before pics were pretty much from when I first bought the house 2 years ago. After removing all the old crap, adding the PVC fence, leveling with 9 yards of dirt, planting the trees, low voltage lighting and then the paver wall, I'm pretty happy with the way I've got it looking now. So much work but it was all worth it
Final touch will be next spring... I'm going to do a paver patio with firepit in the corner that looks all dilapidated.
