I just need something to put in my backyard to store garden tools and other garden stuff. Was also hoping to put a small potting bench in there.

I don’t have amazing carpentry skills so DIY is not an option. I’ve looked at Lowe’s and Home Depot and there’s some OK options.

Any help is appreciated. For context I’m in Massachusetts, so we get humid summers and winter is all over the place. This will be for storing tools and drying herbs.

I have an empty square of lawn that I’m going to in with dirt after removing some pavers someone had placed before me.

I was hoping there’d be something that’d either overtake the grass or grow with the grass I could place there? We really lack pollinators in my neighborhood, so anything that would attract them

I’d seen a post earlier that the Tartan Army I guess they’re calling themselves, have some events planned for their time in Providence?

Was wondering if these were posted anywhere. I’d love to hang with the Scots while they’re here in Providence. Seems like a fun/unique experience.

My rental was built around central air, but it died before we moved in and I grew up with window units so this is nothing new.

This is my first place on my own and I need some help.

The downstairs is a living room with an attached kitchen. There is not a door separating the two, but a wall and a wide gap. The living room is around 200 sq feet, and the kitchen is the same. There are no suitable windows in the kitchen for a window unit.

Last year I used the Midea U shaped 12k BTU units and the house was insanely humid and it never felt the correct temperature.

The upstairs is two bedrooms that are 150 square feet, but they have incredibly high ceilings. We stuck an additional Midea 12k up there and same deal.

How do I measure for those rooms upstairs with the additional ceiling height? It’s a duplex so technically it’s half of a vaulted ceiling.

Last year was pretty miserable with the humidity so I’d like to get a handle on this soon.

For context, we live in Massachusetts. Summers are all of the place but usually top out around 90F with 80-90% humidity most of the summer.

The house is also in direct sunlight all day, and there are only two adults in the home, no pets or anyone else.
