I had the brilliant idea to deck over the front porch in 100+ heat. Goty it 95% done but it damned near killed me.

I'm hearing fireworks and it is still light out.

I'm betting on 2 nights of fireworks.

I'm betting on three since there were a bunch around us last night.

Very nice. Also very expensive.

About $3.90 a square foot, but other than ceramic tile it was my only viable option due to clearance issues. With ceramic I would have had to make sure the slab was pristine clean, acid washed, then neutralized etc. to be sure the adhesive would stick and even then they would eventually pop off. There was crappy looking outdoor carpet glued to the slab. I just had to rip it off and pressure wash the chunks of glue off so the decking would lay right. I will frame the outside edges in with furred out 1X4 pressure treated for aesthetic reasons.

No promises, but I'm working on uploading some of them right now.

You'll have to be more specific on what 'this' is.

Did the water behind the house end up being a mosquito problem?


I bookmarked it, if you need to remove them!


For unknown reasons, I didn't sleep well last night, so see you all tomorrow!

The frogs help a lot, but yeah, there are still quite a few mosquitoes but I don't know that it has anything to do with the pond.

Nice job on the deck!
Mosquitos are most likely because of the pond.Whoever owns it is usually required by code/bylaw to treat it, especially due the west nile threat. Adding an aerating fountain usually will help. Mosquitos don't like moving water.
