    Depends on the size. I am no expert by any means, but if it is a hole that is able to be fixed easily, I would recommend Spackle. depending on the size though, you might need to do some drywall work. I am sure someone else can chime in.

    I do enjoy seeing some farmhouses. I live about 10 minutes from a very country county, and I love driving through it seeing the old barns, mills, and farmhouses. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

    Also just made a trellis to block out one of my neighbors. Just put in some vines, so it will take 6 months or so to fill in.

    It really wasn't very hard, just a bit time consuming. There are some mistakes I made in the process, but overall, I'm happy with how it came out. The only thing I had help on (and it was from my wife) was putting the under-laminate down. It is basically a moisture barrier you put down before putting the actual laminate down. The only reason it was an issue is because it comes on a roll, and getting it laid somewhat evenly can be a bit of a challenge if you are by your self. It is doable alone, and the more you do it, the faster you got at it. But, it would take me about 10 minutes to put a roll down by my self, and about a minute with the extra set of hands.

    How big? If it's too big for spackle, you might can put some drywall tape over it and blend it in. If it's too big for that, the easiest way would probably be to cut a big square out around it, and take it all the way to a stud. Then, just screw in a patch, tape the seams and get to sanding.

    Awesome idea. We have some super nasty neighbors, and this would be an awesome way to block their house. I'm going to have to show it to the wife.

    It was a little challenging. The fence is 6' so the trellis had to be high enough to block out the neighbors since their house is multi-level and starts at a higher position than ours. Those posts are 4" x 4" x 12', put into 3' holes. They need to be strong enough to handle a good wind. The trellis' are approx. 7' x 7'. I bought the trellis "components" at Home Depot. Basically, 4 channel pieces and a bunch of 1" slats. The slats are doubled-up on the horizontals, and single on the verticals. Doubling-up adds a little more strength.

    I've got pics of a bunch of other projects. I'll try to post those soon.

    Here's some deck work I've done in the past. We have a total of four decks in our yard.






    I built the second level while the pool was being put in. Major PITA.

    I built another shelf this weekend and snapped a couple of pics of some tools.

    I plan on adding a lower level to the side of the deck in the backyard for a place to put a hot tub.

    I just feel that it's beyond my level of skill/knowledge with carpentry at the moment.

    It's actually not as hard as you might think. Depends on the deck, though. You just gotta break it down into smaller pieces. It all starts with planning. Like I said, mistakes are easy to fix on paper. Harder to fix after you've started. I did all my decks by myself. I made a detailed plan and then it was just one step at a time. Set the foundation posts first, then the joists, and so on. I was lucky because none of my decks actually touch the house and their all very low to the ground, so I didn't need a railing. A little easier, but still a lot of work.

    Lowe's has some nice resources. I used their deck planner for my first deck. Helps with estimating the supplies. A detailed drawing should get you real close to a good cost estimate.

    Excellent thread idea. I love things like this because it always inspires me to want to do more with my house. I've owned it for a couple years but have not done much with it. I'll have to take some time to run through and rep every one that's contributing.

    I'd love to see some pics of your DIY pergolas if there are any, as that's on my list of "major" projects I want to tackle once funds allow.

    Until then, I'm going to try and get several little things in - my back lawn got trashed do to drought and infestation I think, so been working on getting that green again. Little landscaping things. New ceiling fans. I've had the cans of garage floor coating sitting in my garage for about as long as i've owned the house. I really need to get out there and put it down now.

    Cart looks good man, only thing I would have done differently is stub out the handles then screw in some nice rubber ones or something.
