    What we are seeing a lot of the last couple years on new construction is white and black! Lot more black, like the garage doors, entry doors, etc. Guess it’s supposed to be a “farmhouse look” but not my cup O tea:jaw:

    I'm going to feel this one tomorrow. Couldn't be bothered to get the hydraulic splitter out so I did it all with the Fiskars. 18' trailer with 22" sides... probably about 1.5 cord.

    I guess to each their own. I'm not a huge fan of white in general. My mom likes the classic look of black trim on white houses, but on modern homes it can be overdone.

    The grayish blue on my house suits me very well.

    I hadn't even noticed, but looks like you're right.

    This small older home, near my house, was recently given an exterior makeover with metal roof, gray-green siding and back deck. I have to say it looks pretty good.

    wildwest Is that a typo? Dark hearts. I am hoping you meant dark houses.

    I hope to get some "weed and feed" spread on to a section of the yard today since the weather finally dried a bit.

    I hope the lawn mower doesn't get stuck on all of the worm skeletons.....:p

    I quit using it...the "weed" part is fine, but the "feed" part sucks! :hair:

    I'll have to report back on it. But, it's from menards so I'm sure there is a reason why it is priced lower than the competition. :handshake:

    September. Most know that song. We were at summer fest in Milwaukee last summer and earth wind and fire played. Wife wanted to go, a little old school for me, but everyone knows their music and it's guys party music that isn't offensive. Well, they didn't play "September" and honestly didn't play many of their hits. Also, they were not good in concert. 30 minutes late and didn't play their best Sunday, it was a let down

    I've been using the Menards special weed and feed the last couple of years. I have 1 part of the yard that I didn't get, and there's a lot more dandelions there, but pretty much none all the rest of the yard. So I will say it works well enough.

    Not saying it doesn't work, just the opposite, the "feed" part works too well! I refuse to mow 2x/week! :hair:

    And you put it down already? Unfortunately as you know the weed killer part probably got wasted. Hopefully the weeds all will die and had just enough time with the weed killer part before the rain hit
