Started working on the garage interior today. The weather is cool and it is very nice out there with all the doors open. My plan is to have the garage organized and the basement cleared out before winter. Doing a bit every day or so will achieve this. I am still considering installation of a "heated" cabinet in the garage for paints or other things that should not freeze.
I applied the first treatment of Weed & Feed to the fescue grass. I am using a product which says to apply it in early fall while the weeds are still growing. I used our Scotts Easy Hand Held broadcaster on a setting of "2". The stated dosage rate was 2.8#/1,000 sq ft.
Yesterday, our new pond de-icer arrived. We bought one last year but it arrived DOA and it was returned. This new one is from a different company at about 1/3 the price. It is only rated for 250 watts where the other one was rated for 500 watts. Both had very good reviews. so I thought it was worth a try. So far, the only thing I am concerned about is that it only has a 12 foot power cord which may limit where I can position it. I also notice that, due to its design, this product may be more susceptible to problems of orientation. The other one I bought had a "just throw it in" design. Unfortunately, when I threw it in, it did not work.
I also applied the third and final coat of paint to the bat house. Getting close to the point of actually installing it.
