I put some flowers and ornamentaIs in this bed this year, by the outdoor bar at my daughter's house.

Too dark and somber? Tough shit, I like purple. And I'm putting brighter flowers in a few pots on the ledges later.

This bed goes into shade around 4, had to pick part sun/part shade plants.

And I like purple.

My buddy went to the store with me, he's exhausted from the ride.

just woke up tired as hell and butthole is on fire from all the spicy sauce. got to do some chores around the house maybe like water the sunflowers. good news is i am pretty sure the tiles are laid out on the ground only thing left is the sides. probably lay that then let it dry while he is cutting the counter and then grout both already. if we can finish the bathroom today tomorrow we can easily finish the floor. idk if they even bought the side panels for the bedroom but they need to asap cause once that floor goes down everything is practically ready to move in. idk who they bought from but i know it was a wholesaler and they likely had to buy and ship it in hopefully it came in because it's been idk how long now 2 weeks at least really shouldn't take that long

Properly laying tile is almost an art, not to mention the saw required to cut those tough suckers can cost bank. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
One of my dearly departed running mates laid tile. He spent all day doing math in his head. What the boss was getting per square foot, compared to what he was making. Every time he started, I would remind him he could buy a van, buy a saw, buy a dozen other little tools that you have to have, lease a storefront, advertise, get bonded, hire a helper and then he could keep all the money that was left for himself.

I got the chance to put some of my Navy training to use this morning. I hit the wall a little after 0100 this morning. Came in a couple hours early to wrap up the mopping. Our new ice machine wasn't draining properly, so I got here in time to help the cleaning/maintenance guy jury rig a drainline. Will have to cut through a wall, but that can wait until Monday.

It's going to be another late night for me. No cleanup tonight though.

Watered the babies. they seem to be doing fine been little over a month now since i planted from seed. i think in about 1 more month maybe i will start to see the heads.

no idea where everyone went. sister came this morning and her bf as well but i think both of them went back to work. they literally needa chill tf out though with work think the both of them been working 24 hours straight and now today as well. dad went to work i know he will be home early though his dog didn't go to daycare so he has to walk um later this afternoon probably at the beach.

im bored as hell thought he was going to stay home to do renovations but guess not so i really dont got anything to do. went outside for a smoke checked out the outside garden. seems like my grandpa is just planting stuff just because. he had some lettuce growing and didn't even harvest the lettuce they just shriveled up and left to compost. he's growing more papaya tree's getting kind of sick of it though we have so much papaya tree's at least 30! they are not the dwarf variety either and he doesn't really amend the soil or feed em so the papaya's are very small then what they should be.

looking for more seeds trying to grow some cactus but i can't find any decent websites that sell seeds it's just all random stuff like on amazon. claiming "rare" and "exotic" with strange color patterns but imo that is bullshit. looks like someone took a regular species and just changed the colors digitally to look more rare. those items got bad reviews too

I have a nice tile cutter but got lazy and bought a diamond blade for my grinder, cuts tiles like butter
I tiled my whole house with a small grinder and my brick saw. I did swap the blade on my brick saw to a tile blade, they are a lot thinner. But how good does a 3inch grinder work to cut around the round objects, thats how the tilers at work do it. They only do strait cuts on the saw.
