Morning all.
Today we get to be frustrated. My wife has an idea that we can drape some mosquito netting over part of the pond to provide some shade, and somehow not have it blow away in the next big wind. Like her compost barrel I will let her do this her way and get a better idea of what she wants. Then I will re-engineer the system to work, maybe. That netting is going to be real hard to keep in place in a 50+ MPH wind.
For the compost barrel she figured we could use some little cute casters likely rated for 20 pounds each. I had to build some mega strong supports and use large heavy duty caster to make it recall work. This will be interesting. I know better than just taking over the design from the start. When I am fixing her design suddenly I am right, and any design suggestions now is unwelcome.
When I built the flower bed in the front yard for a Crepe myrtle bush she picked the concrete building blocks but got real mad at the way I was building it. She was trying to use then upside down and have the wall lean out. When full of dirt the wall would have collapsed. After many years it is still perfect built by me. She got mad and went inside, so I was on my own.
I know how to do her projects, but do it the right way. Some of her ideas do work out fine. The dry stack wall for the flower bed in the front was her idea, but she read al lot before trying it.
