  • I’m not OP, but I recently rewrapped my cat trees and used a staple gun to tack it down. Close to the base, I wrapped the tail vertically a little upwards on the pole, stapled it to secure, then ran it down to the base and started winding over the tail. This causes some bumps in the snaked look, but isn’t too bad from a distance. Plenty of staples keep it in place up the pole in case the cats cut through it from sharpening. It's still holding up so far

















  • It’s very spring here in the south, so I’m outside tending to the yard-wide flower bed we set up last year. I’ve been battling the grass growing back in it for a while and almost gave up after the brutal summer last year killed off half of my plants. I found that using saved up cardboard and mulch keeps a lot of the grass at bay. So that’s been my project for a few weeks now, slowly filling the whole bed and revitalizing the whole thing.
    As a small reward for the progress I’ve made, I picked up a few perennials at the store the other day: salvia, lantana, and some consumables - dill, basil, and peppers. They look really nice in the parts of the bed I’ve already tended to :)




  • Most formal cleaning companies will do a deep cleaning to form a clean baseline, or let you add on extras per session to address when you need. Usually it’s hourly based with a minimum time requirement. If you don’t need them to do something, it might work out to be cheaper if doing it would have put you over the minimum time.
    If you find a self employed cleaning person, they are more likely to be more flexible and able to handle the odd tasks like tidying up or handling laundry. Maybe even help organize or do other routine tasks that you don’t have the bandwidth for.
