  • I finally finished my project: an emulation console for the kids

  • Retropie is an OS that can emulate games from NES to PS1. Maybe worth a look.

  • It might end up not working out, but the mulch is meant to break down and become a medium for moss to grow on top of, so it's not structural. It wasn't a thick layer, either. If it does end up being an issue, well I suppose it's a good thing the floor isn't mortared in place.

  • We have literal tons of rocks we've added. 12 or so boulders ranging from 50 to 1,200 lbs (22.6796 - 544.3108 kg) and besides thr pallet I used here we've had 3 others of different flagstones and several cubic yards (same imperial and metric, wow) of various sized gravel/river rocks.

    We love our rocks.

  • I used a line level to get the paver supports level, then a 48" (121.92 cm) level on the beams to make adjustments. Still some minor spots to shore up but the beams being level is the main thing as that is what the greenhouse will attach to.

  • Thanks. We'll see in a year or so how well my plan works.

  • Hahaha mine. They were sitting there on a pallet for the better part of a year waiting for me to get to it. Amazed the city didn't cite me for some nonsense.

  • I wanted to use cedar for the smell but it seems the oils in cedar prevent moss growth. Pine does double duty in weed prevention and raising acidity. You could use sphagnum moss but that might end up encouraging mold.

    Of course one could trest it like a terrarium/paludarium and put springtails in your greenhouse.

    Uh-oh. I might have just added a lot more work to my plate. We were already planning on a container pond but maybe now we'll make it a full on mini-ecosystem in there.

  • The beams that the greenhouse will attach to are level, well the one in back needs another support in the middle to level it out. The floor is more like cobblestone; mostly level but the asymmetry of the stone I used (English cottage stone) is irregular so and so it isn't level level.

  • This was a present for my wife as well.

    Had not considered the gluing of panels. What kind of glue did you use?

    Our son needs to work off car repair money so I'll have another pair of hands.

    We're in the midwest US so we can get heavy snow. What is the strapping you reinforced it with?

    Oh, and already ordered those automatic hinges.

    Thanks for all the tips!

  • Last year I laid out cardboard to clear the underlying grass and weeds. This year I tilled that up and flattened the earth, added about 1.5" (3.81 cm) of levelling sand and tamped that down to compact it. On top of the sand I did a layer of pine bark mulch to doubly prevent weeds and promote moss growth between the stones (moss likes acidic surfaces). I think I'll put some more mulch and sand down and sweep it into the cracks when I have the rocks all fitted together a little tighter.

  • Wow those are amazing! Thanks for the tip.

    Your greenhouse looks great! That actually looks very similar to the one I'll be putting up.

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • No destinations, just out for a drive. Sounds nice.

  • Is the "everyday stuff" supposed to feel normal? Do y'all just have a parent do things then when you're supposed to be the adult you panic?

  • The trick is to not care about not knowing something. Everyone is born knowing nothing. Everything has to be learned. Ignorance is only a flaw if it's a choice.
