We’re about 2-3 weeks a way from finishing up a pool project. Our yard is completely torn up and we’re using this as an opportunity to reset. We’re going to have a mixture of rock and cactus, wildflower gardens, crushed granite paths, and some buffalo grass. I need to replace some gates and put new small fences to block off pool equipment and sheds and the like.

I’m sure if I paid someone to do all of this I’d be paying $10k+

• New gates and equipment fences (plan to sub out)
• Plant one palm tree (plan to sub out)
• Mulch in all flower beds, tree rings, and patchy areas (DIY)
• General flower and planting (DIY)

Undecided:

• Modify gutters for rain barrels and reroute run off to mulch beds under oak trees
• Level dirt and lay sod
• Black metal border installation around rock gardens.
• Replace loose rock borders with stacked cut limestone border. About 50-75 linear feet around flower beds and trees
• 10x50’ crushed granite to replace heavy traffic side yard
  • Is weed cloth underneath necessary?
  • How deep is a good idea?

I'm now to the point where we are just using ClickUp for task management and time tracking with hierarchies of Customer (Folder) > Project (List) > Milestones (Task) > Subtasks. I was tired of waiting on better portfolio views so I used Claude to build a dashboard. Everything else like notes, chats, forms, etc. We've moved to other tools because of either poor performance or missing features in ClickUp. My external dashboard load really slow which I think is because of CU's API.

Is there a simpler task management existing tool that has an efficient API? I'm thinking I may be better off using AI for reporting and to integrate into the tools we have migrated to.

I did it. About every 6 months I play with another note taking tool and within a few hours I find a reason to go back to Bear. I was messing with FSNotes which actually looks good for some use cases but I noticed some missing features. Then I read the aggressive FAQs... Ok. I'll stay with Bear and keep waiting for full Panda. https://fsnot.es/faq/
