Found out that this header is nailed into short blocking boards?, which are sistered? to my main floor joists. No idea if this is a common practice. The main floor joists look like they came up short and they tied in these small peices to nail in the header.

Can I use joist hangers attached to this header? 3 joists about 4 feet long. If not are there other options? The lower boards of the header are nailed into the beam. The top board of the header is resting on these boards as seen, and seems to be much longer - supported by other points of contact to the left and right.

Used to be a staircase opening that I am planing on closing up and flooring.

This vacant lot behind my house, full of old growth, is in the process of being cleared 🥲. The contractors will be adding visual barriers behind my old fence but they is definitely some time off while they do construction. There is no visual barrier anymore and tons of road noise. Swipe to the end for old pics.

Looking for some recommendations on Marijuana I can grow as a visual barrier! Maybe 52 of something? Zone 6B USA

Recently bought a house with a red maple? And it has this growth at the base. Should I cut it back?

Been dealing with this patch for a few seasons, tried everything but grub killer. Zone 6b
