Projects...

Tree limbs mostly cut...needed to rehydrate, my head was pulsing. I hate Pine, I'm sticky, my tools are all sticky, such a pain in the ass, I'll enjoy burning it. I've called all my utility companies 4 times since February about cutting this thing back away from the wires. Apparently they don't want to come out, so I'm going to take care of it now. F'ING useless bastards. If ya want something done right, gotta do it yourself.

No, I posted it and emailed it to myself so I can make one even better.

Next up for my place is: exactly what my wife wants

Privacy screen for the backyard, something like this one. I've yet to work with this stuff but I'll sort it out. Should be fun.

Wow, very nice. What's the cost? That timber bamboo is very spendy

Of course it is, it's what my wife wants! Goddam. I'll have to research, was hoping maybe some others here have worked with it and would have some good info.

Check some Asian websites; dunno if they still do it, but they used to build scaffolds outta bamboo on multi-story construction projects.

Wow is that cool! Looking into fence on one side of property to block out a neighbor's deteriorating garage. Was thinking metal to avoid termites...but it would be on the property line away from the buildings...hmmmm...

Precisely why we need the screen. The neighbours around here don't like big fences (kind of cool, actually) but my neighbour is a tradesman who keeps his stuff beside his garage, we'd like to clip that out of view.

stumbled across a few ideas looking up similar recently. don't imagine bamboo would weather too well in my climate though.

im liking the combo of wood and metal.

bamboos stronger than steel, i think.

It grows 1" per hour, they used to torture people, lay them on the ground over growing bamboo with spikes and leave them for it to grow through them.

This is what i heard.

Polyurethane the hell out of it maybe...with fitted top trim piece(s)...or deck sealer?

That's pretty slick! We have both extremes of climate here, I guess it would all depend on how fast it was initially dried.

Do not look up bamboo fence on Pinterest. You will be lost for HOURS!
