What am I doing today that future me will thank me for?
This week I’m thanking past me for a number of reasons, but the biggest being a makeshift back porch that will host our sons birthday party when it’s supposed to rain in a few days.
I’m really digging people on here sharing their “problem is the solution” creative endeavors.
The chicken coop bug zapper and the S9 food dehydrator being the most recent inspirations.
Made me ask myself what are some that I could share..
The most relevant for what’s going on this week is probably how to build something over a broken slab of concrete that is cheap and somewhat easy (definitely easier than jackhammering and hauling off material to start fresh).
Basically just drilled 1/2” holes about 10” down and pounded rebar to hold 4x4 blocks in place on a grid for the joists to screw to.
Laser level got each measurement of the blocks just right. Then Shou Sugi Ban any wood that might touch the slab or water and you’re in business.
Built the deck 3 years ago and the roof a year later and it’s withstood A LOT.
We’ve gone from full trees falling on the roof (dent visible in the 6th pic from today), crazy storms, hosting thanksgiving before the decking arrived (4th pic), and to being the spot where our 2nd son was born in the wee hours of the night.
These are why we do the projects we do right?
Look forward to seeing more of y’all’s creative solutions in the future!
Thanks for reading my novel lol
