    Plastic is also hotter when exposed to sunlight than wood, great material but has to be shaded
    Yesterday while weed whacking my front flower beds I noticed how rotten the landscaping timbers were. With wood prices stupidly high I’ll use plastic most likely.

    The previous owner was talking about a pile of stone on the vacant lot behind my house. He tried to get some of it for the flower beds, but the guy that owns it thinks his eye sore is worth more than it is!

    I assume you trust Foxnews enough to know I'm not just blowing shit out of my ass. I literally look at economic data every week for fun, it's what I nerd out on. It's not just Austin, Austin just happens to be the market I exist in.

    Stopped by Lowe's today.

    It all made sense to me when I saw how low supply was. No wonder they can justify such high prices when customers are fighting over the last boards in sight.

    One store not far from the building hot spot of Austin.

    Low supply doesn't fit the normal model of price increases with the current situation especially considering prices are still going up.

    They call it Crushed Granite.
    I couldn’t find actual decomposed I believe the latter is a finer grain material.
    Crats love it as a litter box! A buddy used it his business and he has problems with crat piss & shit in it.

    He used it as a floor and walking in it kicks up dust, so they water it for dust control. After a few years it became really hard like concrete. Eventually he roto tilled it.

    Invest in a suppressed .22 or pellet rifle!

    Wow. That’s very nice.

    My patio is facing west. And that means I get the afternoon sun going inside the house. I’m thinking of doing the same layout for the pergolas. Thinking of having some contractor do the concrete and move the sprinklers while my son and I construct the pergolas.

    What’s the running cost now? Maybe Steel welded pergolas be cheaper at this pace?
