Anyone know about decks? Mine is pressure treated, covered in algae? and the finish is worn off. What do I need to do refinish it? Pressure washing? Sanding? What kind of stain should I use?

Super fun house ownership problems: we can’t find our septic tank…despite knowing approximately where it is. I’m starting to suspect it’s really really far down so no matter how far we dig we’re not going to reach it. It’s this concrete box in the bottom left of the photo.

This section of Xylem Arbor is inspired by sea fans. The panels of this region have irregular edges and have a densely interconnected branched structure. They gently bend off the wall, overlapping in hues of turquoise.

OMG I didn’t realize projection mapping had become so common that home sewers are using short throw projectors for patterns. So awesome! No more printing and tapping together pattern sheets
