Got a backyard fence estimate yesterday and so eager to get work underway in the next few weeks. Our neighbors have either shitty old wooden fences, or a 4 foot high chainlink fence. Our house is on a curve, and the rest of the yards to our north look right into ours, or we look almost into the back of our next-door neighbors house.
Getting a white vinyl 6 foot tall privacy fence. We don't have gates right now and I am dying for my kids to go outside and play unsupervised during this crisis.
Now I'm thinking of redoing the entire backyard, small as it is, collecting inspiration, considering taking most of the grass out, putting down fine gravel, stepping stones, a fire pit, and a pergola with a retractable awning. We were planning a bunch of home interior updates this year, but with this home isolation going on for an unknown amount of time, I really want the best outdoor space we can make, because our backyard sucks, and whenever we sell our house someday, that would be a huge selling point.
If we can get outside often as summer gets here, have some shade, and a nice but small place out there, I will be ecstatic. It will make this all so much easier to deal with.
- vinyl? what's wrong with a wooden privacy fence?imbecile
- I take it wood is significantly more expensive than vinyl? Vinyl's such a nasty material... :(Nairn
- Wood wears out. Vinyl is only 10% more than wood.mg33
- If we could get something resin based that simulates wood, I'd love that, but I expect it's pretty expensive.mg33
- Wood may wear out (eventually), but at least it's not going to shit on the planet - vinyl's not recyclable, and has a nasty production process.Nairn
- If you do insist on getting that shit, at least check it's phthalate-free, for your kids' sake.Nairn
- Thanks, will look into that. :)mg33
- Small gravel means stepping on pebbles barefoot. I took a bunch of that out and used concrete. We have a pool,so lots of barefoot time outside. Wood fence...lemmy_k
- is easy to build and replace worn out slats. Mine have been up for 7 years and I painted them once in that time.lemmy_k
- This is the kind of stuff we're into.
https://pin.it/1VrjJ…mg33 - As small as our backyard is, a lot of these multi-surface options could be really inviting.mg33
- vinyl warps, cracks, & discolors. a thing about vinyl is that when warranty time comes, the manufacturer may no longer sell your style/color. just fyiimbecile
- replacing bad boards over time is easyimbecile
- Cedar, ftw. Let it grey. UV-aged Vinyl looks ickyGnash
- Vinyl looks like old plastic after a year and it never can look fresh and new again. Wood can be repaired and refreshed easily.monospaced
- Those american chain fences look absolutely grim. Flavours of prison, lacks of privacy, aesthetics of depression.shapesalad
- I plan to do a small chain fence and then grow a tall hedge around it for part of my yard. It keeps kids in and looks good.monospaced
- Maybe a neighbor will go halfseys on a nice wooden fence we can share for ultimate privacy.monospaced
- White vinyl fences are the comic sans of fences. I loathe them - sorry!stoplying
- Vinyl looks cheapdbloc
- Stripper pole, kids will love itTurboslacker
- Razor wire fence is the only way to go.PhanLo
- Stained, horizontal wood slats looks great.
https://i.pinimg.com…dbloc - You can repaint the wood to make it look fresh new and change color over the yearBennn
- at dbloc I did that in my garden. It does involve a little more labor (2 people to hold and nail the boards). Vertical only needs one person.Centigrade
- Dbloc, I do like the looks of that.mg33
- @centigrade a little more effort, but well worth itdbloc

Picking up on mg33's comment (and not directed at him or anyone). I think quite a lot of people are quietly going to miss the current situation as lockdowns get lifted.
Back to work but with a lingering fear, no socialising, no restaurants, gigs and pubs - but the government tracks where you do go. And anywhere nice outside is going to be absolutely full of cunts - especially compared to the peace and quiet we're now used to.
- obviously not universal - lots of people equally desperate for it to end for all sorts of reasons.Fax_Benson
- I agree...I can't see myself going to any restaurants, bars or events for the foreseeable future.utopian
- I usually work from home... I just want my girlfriend to go back to work :Dkingsteven
- ^OBBTKN
- Honestly, I don't want it to stop. I grew to like the quiet and the pace of life. My natural misanthropy and nihilism contributes a fair bit to that sentiment.Continuity
- Just become a freelancer/independe... contractor in whatever line of work you're in...you can easily live like this forever.yuekit
- It actually surprises me how new a concept working remotely is for a lot of people.yuekit
- Working remotely is fine if it's on the terms you decide. Forced working from home with two kids around, fearful of your income, is TOUGH.DaveO

Talked my wife into buying an old pop up trailer. Using time at home to put in a new floor, lighting and nicer tables. Today they opened a campground 20min from my house. Got a site for next week. My son will miss "school" for a few days.
I don't ever want to go back to full time work.- Amazing @lemmy_k! PICS!!!
We got The North Face 4 person tent just as this all began and it's JUST getting warm enough @ night to enjoy with my sons in Canada.ideaist - Yes, pics you bastardGnash
- Idea, you up in the creemore area, right? Nice up thereGnash
- Excellent. Got a family camping trip planned myself in a couple weeks. Always wanted a camper trailer.aslip
- I’m obsessed with v]camping trailers. I just can’t afford the ones I wantGnash
- @Gnash Yes'sir! Dunedin, ON. Drop a line if you're ever in the area!!! Rural QBN Meetup?! Trailer is a 3 year plan... Still need a hitch on the Subaru!ideaist
- Outback here :), need a hitch too!Gnash
- I almost bought a place around singhampton. I’m up at a friends place in north of murmur sometimes. I’ll post next time I head there :)Gnash
- Same @ Outback; was it YOU who suggested it a year or so back on a thread here?! Haha. Anytime man / drop a line. Godspeed 'til then.ideaist
- Lol, I think that was me. Hope you’re happy with it :)Gnash
- Amazing @lemmy_k! PICS!!!

Bought supplies to make the desk I want and need soon, now that my office has vacated our space and we’ll all likely be working from home for quite a while regardless of lockdowns ending. Won’t get the wood till mid-May, but dimensions are going to be 74” wide x 30” deep, with a 74” x 12” shelf on casters running the length of it.
Will have space to bring out my 27” Thunderbolt monitor and use it beside my iMac (been wanting to do this for Logic Pro) and can easily disconnect and plug in my work laptop.
Stuff I’m using:
IKEA Karlby wooden countertop
Steel custom made legs from Etsy
Simple cord J channel raceway cable organizers along the back
- Good setup, really like the legs.PhanLo
- is most the price in the legs?MrAbominable
- love itmonospaced
- Nice, how much did the legs cost you? The pricing is all over the place on eBay, ranging from $99- to $400- for a set of legs. A fair price is around $125-utopian
- The legs were $185. IKEA counter was $269, but you will not find any solid Walnut of those dimensions for anything less than that.mg33
- nice. pics in mid-May or it didn't happen.MrAbominable
- The 1.5" thickness concerns me. The table top may get warped overtime because of the weight you put on table as well heat and cold fluctuation.utopian
- I would strong recommend at least 1.75" thickness for your desktop.utopian
- Here is one that is thicker and cost less than the IKEA desktop. ($110-)
https://www.lowes.co…utopian - https://www.lowes.co…utopian
- Good thoughts utopian! What do you think about this guy’s solution to the sag problem? https://www.reddit.c…mg33
- just run a 2x4 along the middle underside of the ikea top. like most regular big dinning tables do. will support and stop sag.shapesalad
- Lots of people with Karlby setups use the Alex drawers as support for the desk. They have a lot more surface area than these legsmg33
- Is that a concern to anyone?mg33
- Also, I would most likely not be putting the legs flush at the end; Probably a foot in from the edge.mg33
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- Thanks man. I REALLY want to make this work, and without resorting to Alex cabinets if I canmg33
- Also, that first video shows an adjustable leg as center support. I'll have four left over from my old desk, that are adjustable. Just don't like the looks.mg33
- Actually, after talking to my wife, I'm trying to cancel the legs order. We both agreed that a double Ikea Alex drawer setup would look nice, and add moremg33
- support. Not only that, I had forgotten a project to house my effects pedals inside a drawer, if possible.mg33

I'm already slightly depressed at the prospect of having to return to the office on a regular basis again. Which seems to be in around 3 weeks. Really enjoying the home office thing.
- Same. I am really enjoying the extra time with wife, son and table saw.lemmy_k
- Will you HAVE to return to the office? Think businesses may be a lot more accommodating and up for folk working from home...microkorg
- .. and people will be a lot more likely to take do so now. I saw a stat that hardly any men take advantage of being able to work from home usually as they...microkorg
- .. think it'll harm their career. Or maybe theyve just said it'll harm career in the past. real reason is they just want out the house away from kids ;)microkorg
- Alas not, they really keen getting everybody back at the office again despite we loving home officeNBQ00
- Ever considered working for yourself? I hear that's a big thing in this whole internet/ design/ programming field... :)yuekit
- I did that for many many years and I miss it. But now in this situation I’m glad I’m not self employed this year at leastNBQ00
- I cant wait to go back to the office.Al_dizzle
- I usually work in an Central LDN office of around 300 people. AC system, no windows openable. I do not want to go back at all.shapesalad
- 1 Person coughing in the office, and it'll spread around like crazy. Open plan, toilet opens directly into the office space. Yuk.shapesalad
- if the kids are in school - i'll work from home anyday.umbee54
- looking forward to going back into an office, tbh is/was a flexible set up anyway with wfh always an optionBluejam
