Six days so far with drastically reduced news consumption. No DrudgeReport, no conspiracy forums, just the occasional Apple News article as a recap of the day. It's great.
I should have started this weeks ago, but got up and took a walk for a mile this morning to start getting in the same distance I do walking from the train to my office downtown.
Got out of the house yesterday to take a drive with my family; my wife hadn't been in the car in six weeks, I've been the only one driving and we're only getting groceries delivered now.
Doing some serious daydreaming about buying a small weekend place on some water in southern Wisconsin in the next few years. Something that's under 2 hours from where we live. I'd love to have a place like that now to go on the weekends, maybe a little land, build something prefab / modular, head up there on Fridays to unwind and disconnect and go hiking and fishing and stuff. Mentioned the idea to my mom in Texas over the weekend, and now she and my stepdad are thinking about moving closer to us when he retires in two years. Would be nice to have them close as they get older.
- A very close friend of mine who I visit every year has a house on a lake in Wisconsin. Love going there in the summer.Ramanisky2
- Hell yes!nb
- You really don't ever need to look at Drudge Report. Unless you work directly in politics or newsmedia or gossip, there is nothing there worth reading.nb
- That's nice Ram! We go to Door County once in a while, went just this past October. It's a bit long of a drive - 3-4 hours from where we are north of Chicagomg33
- I really like the terrain and wooded aspect of it though. That's what I want, some natural privacy, nothing in a regular neighborhood.mg33
- I've been to Mercer before, too, it's way too far but just amazing up there. Lakes everywhere, heavy forests, clean air.mg33

- These guys are just lonely and want to get out and meet other buddies with similar interests.nb
- Like playing army-man, pretending to be rugged, roleplaying survival, stockpiling potato chips, fantasizing about being in life or death situations, etc.nb
- They always thought a lockdown would make people envy them or look up to them and they would feel content. It turns out nobody cares.nb
- Instead, the world just kept on paying attention to celebrities and social media influencers and fit women doing yoga and food blogs. Doomsday changed nothing.nb
- So these guys have to come out of their basements waving their flags "hey look at me, look at me, look at me! This was supposed to be my time!"nb

Got a backyard fence estimate yesterday and so eager to get work underway in the next few weeks. Our neighbors have either shitty old wooden fences, or a 4 foot high chainlink fence. Our house is on a curve, and the rest of the yards to our north look right into ours, or we look almost into the back of our next-door neighbors house.
Getting a white vinyl 6 foot tall privacy fence. We don't have gates right now and I am dying for my kids to go outside and play unsupervised during this crisis.
Now I'm thinking of redoing the entire backyard, small as it is, collecting inspiration, considering taking most of the grass out, putting down fine gravel, stepping stones, a fire pit, and a pergola with a retractable awning. We were planning a bunch of home interior updates this year, but with this home isolation going on for an unknown amount of time, I really want the best outdoor space we can make, because our backyard sucks, and whenever we sell our house someday, that would be a huge selling point.
If we can get outside often as summer gets here, have some shade, and a nice but small place out there, I will be ecstatic. It will make this all so much easier to deal with.
- vinyl? what's wrong with a wooden privacy fence?imbecile
- I take it wood is significantly more expensive than vinyl? Vinyl's such a nasty material... :(Nairn
- Wood wears out. Vinyl is only 10% more than wood.mg33
- If we could get something resin based that simulates wood, I'd love that, but I expect it's pretty expensive.mg33
- Wood may wear out (eventually), but at least it's not going to shit on the planet - vinyl's not recyclable, and has a nasty production process.Nairn
- If you do insist on getting that shit, at least check it's phthalate-free, for your kids' sake.Nairn
- Thanks, will look into that. :)mg33
- Small gravel means stepping on pebbles barefoot. I took a bunch of that out and used concrete. We have a pool,so lots of barefoot time outside. Wood fence...lemmy_k
- is easy to build and replace worn out slats. Mine have been up for 7 years and I painted them once in that time.lemmy_k
- This is the kind of stuff we're into.
https://pin.it/1VrjJ…mg33 - As small as our backyard is, a lot of these multi-surface options could be really inviting.mg33
- vinyl warps, cracks, & discolors. a thing about vinyl is that when warranty time comes, the manufacturer may no longer sell your style/color. just fyiimbecile
- replacing bad boards over time is easyimbecile
- Cedar, ftw. Let it grey. UV-aged Vinyl looks ickyGnash
- Vinyl looks like old plastic after a year and it never can look fresh and new again. Wood can be repaired and refreshed easily.monospaced
- Those american chain fences look absolutely grim. Flavours of prison, lacks of privacy, aesthetics of depression.shapesalad
- I plan to do a small chain fence and then grow a tall hedge around it for part of my yard. It keeps kids in and looks good.monospaced
- Maybe a neighbor will go halfseys on a nice wooden fence we can share for ultimate privacy.monospaced
- White vinyl fences are the comic sans of fences. I loathe them - sorry!stoplying
- Vinyl looks cheapdbloc

- Razor wire fence is the only way to go.PhanLo
- Stained, horizontal wood slats looks great.
https://i.pinimg.com…dbloc - You can repaint the wood to make it look fresh new and change color over the yearBennn
- at dbloc I did that in my garden. It does involve a little more labor (2 people to hold and nail the boards). Vertical only needs one person.Centigrade
- Dbloc, I do like the looks of that.mg33
- @centigrade a little more effort, but well worth itdbloc
