1. Sometimes you have to take a step back. The house was built in 1999 so it's time for a thing or two to go wrong. This time it was the upstairs stand up shower. The drain was dripping. It created about a 3" diameter brown spot. Since I hate using the damn thing (too small, I bang my elbows so I use the other bathrooms shower) my wife is the only one that uses it so it's probably been dripping for quite a while. It was about 20-30 seconds between drips. I got it all fixed and it's been about a month. No leak so I'll probably fix this soon
2. Oh hells yes! Almost ready for paint!
3. Nice.
4. Wife bugged the hell out of me for a planter box. This shut her up.
5. The foliage is little trees I cut down that were growin in my fence... anyway, I'm going to put a small (probably 6") retaining wall in the back, and maybe a perforated pipe drain and stone to keep water off the back. I'm also going to have to put gutters up. Roof is too big, the water that comes off of it kills the ground below (see pic of planter box above.)
