The purpose of this thread is for people to post questions about home projects and improvements, or to post pictures of stuff you've done yourself like a boss.
I'll start:
1) We built a fire pit in our backyard a few years ago. We basically threw down some pond stones and put a firepit on top. Lo and behold, it was overrun with weeds in about a year, so we pulled the whole thing up, put down some anti-weed mesh on top of the dirt, then put the pond stones back down. We're starting to notice tiny blades of grass and some lichen coming up through the stones, so at this point we're wondering what other solutions might be other than to scrap the entire thing. Should we just Roundup the whole thing on a weekly basis?
2) One of our projects this year will be to replace our countertops which are formica and came with the house. Any opinions on what to get? Right now we're interested in solid surface or granite but have no idea which one would be better.
