Any DIY experts on this board?

[Grudge]

Any of you good with tools and building stuff? I want to get better. Any tips for me?

what is it you want to do and/or build?

One and half years ago I built this myself. But then I ripped out the pathway and am in the process of clearing it away to make room for gravel and more blocks to make it more walkable. The mulch kept getting blasted away by rain fall and someday it was going to deteriorate since it's organic matter.

I also built these, but had them taken apart and replaced with proper constructed flower beds by hired professionals.

This is now gone and replaced.

I'm proud of this row I built. I'm going to enhance it with a brick barrier around the edges, and fill it up with black mulch over a sheet barrier

looks like you're doing a good job. do you get much rain there? you could consider directing those drain spouts further away from the house, it's close to the foundation. big problem here, maybe not so much there.

It'd be a problem here too. Easy fix to grab one of the extensions and run it away from the house.

I need a custom crafted solid wood shoe bench. If there is anyone able to do wood work and can ship the product to me, I'll pay you.
