    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    We put ten bags of black mulch around the backyard perimeter, then acquired a cream coloured dog . Now I’m lugging bags of two-three inch river rock to bury the mulch under rock . I’m hoping the three inch is something she can’t dig through . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Last ikea kitchen I did was thier new product , it also uses a metal wall plate for the lowers , only the front legs are on adjusters , back clips to the wall plate . It’s genius .

    I assemble them with a tube of clear silicone. You’d need dynamite to take them apart later . Very few glues will stick to HPL ( melamine) . Squeeze out if it happens doesn’t really matter . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    Anybody know is cedar trees would be considered an ornamental shrub or a tree ? I have two that need to go . I could beg forgiveness if the town counts it a tree , but it could also be a 5k mistake. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com
