such a lovely spring weekend with friends

past couple weeks of warm weather have been so dreamy spending outside time with friends

renovating your landscape is way better investment than remodeling your bathroom

first tile clad bench coming together

new SketchUp extensions I'm trying

we're not alike. you're spending your days detailing closet casework. we're detailing drainage systems that support local watersheds.

plants are going everywhere that's blank

mapping existing utilities for a new project

accidental CMD+V and found this photo of Malacothamnus fasciculatus that I had forgotten about

Ojai project moods and feelings

“But the network was not to be run from the top down. There was to be no controlling center, no capital, no establishment for the self-perpetuating machinery of bureaucracy and the dominance drive of individuals seeking to become captains, bosses, chiefs of state.” — Ursula K. Le Guin

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

the function of a system is what it does. fuck ICE, and additionally fuck the spineless controlled opposition party that enables the death squads while tweeting big talk

been loving Polycam for our early site research on landscape design projects and we can bring straight into SketchUp

new raised patio with Wulfwood table end of this week

proper plant labeling

leave Claude Code inside and go out into the garden this weekend

got to visit super special restoration project in the East Bay hills with some friends last spring

explorations for a sunken in soaking tub as part of the deck

how do you deal with persistent weeds?

some early projects from back in the day

so much mental stimulation and inspiration came from working outside the other day in a client's garden, ended up using Superwhisper dozens of times to jot down quick notes

proposing these lights by RBW for new landscape project

bought a label printer

missed the Cloudflare outage cause I was outside hanging with the plants

we only work with contractors that both send and accept calendar invites cause the project will be hundred times more seamless and fun

obsessed with Miranda Brooks home garden she designed

having landscape projects in construction changes everything. way better for mental health, bopping around town, get to solve problems together, build things with pals, get plants in the ground. overall momentum seems to increase across all other projects.
