I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS -

Thanks for reading through this and taking the time to answer what questions you might be able to answer. Context - I’ve taken on the large task of installing a hardscape in my backyard. I just had the Excavation completed. My vision - The majority of the area will be herringbone patterned set 4”X8” brick using a slightly larger rectangle paver around all boarders. The orange flags represent a rectangle area where I want a flat slate style rock installed with grass growing up through the stone. The green stakes next to the garage represent a garden bed, though more dirt will need to be added to that area to be set flush with the top of the pavers. The circle will be a planted tree where the dirt will be again flush with the pavers.

Questions -

  1. The 3/4 minus won’t be going under the tree or the garden bed. Should 3/4 minus go under the flat stone / grass area?

  2. How should I retain the 3/4 minus from the circle tree spot and the garden bed? I was thinking pressure treated 2X4’s and 4X4’s at the corners but then I don’t want any wood showing after completion. I’m still in the brainstorming stage of this and appreciate all ideas.

  3. To complicate the situation, even further In the grassy flat rock area I was hoping to put 3’6” high garden bed with brick fascia on the side with the green bush. Also bench seat off of the raised garden bed with a flat stone topper to sit on. I haven’t even really unfolded what steps I should take with this and in what order because I started obsessing with the Excavation.

Please let me know your thoughts on all of these circumstances and let me know what you think. I totally appreciate you. Thank you so much!

ROOM FOR RENT IN WOODSTOCK!!

ADDRESS - DM me. On SE 40TH

What is on offer:  

Private and spacious Bedroom currently available.

$800 + 75 (utilities) Main Level RM - 11X13 + 2.5X7' CLOSET  

**Small room is currently pending**

Fully equipped kitchen and spacious communal living areas.

Hi Speed Wifi

Onsite laundry

(2) Full shared bathrooms

Safe and cool neighborhood

Central AC & Heat

On street parking

flexible renting terms (Month to Month) but looking for medium to long term
occupants so hopefully you'll stick around.  

Close to:  

Reed College, Public Transit, Trader Joes, Safeway, New Seasons, Bimart all
within walking distance.  Trader Joes10 blocks.   The Heist Food Carts 6
Blocks.  More than I'm able to list here.  Banks, Food, Convenience stores,
Everything, you name it.  (3) close coffee shops.  Parks. (1) block from
Cesar Chavez (2) blocks from main Woodstock vibes.  

Ideal For:

All Portland based human beings.  The house is and always will be welcome to
all types of people.  

Who already is living here:

43/M    Loves music, his scooter, long board, and a good show.  I'm
social sometimes and sometimes I like my solitude. I'm an Omnivore but
respect all other diets.

24/F   Super cool and full of life.  She has lived here for (9) months and is very active.  She occupies a bedroom in the basement.

20’S/F Currently pending.

What the price includes:

The room.  Utilities.  And a small list of base items at the house will be
included.  Toilet paper, hand soap, and paper towels. Some cleaning supplies
ect.  But you can expect the first items stocked at all times.  

The rooms are unfurnished.  The main spaces are furnished.  In some
situations, we would welcome certain furniture items or small appliances.
We also can work to find a place to store items for you if needed (a bike, a
piece of furniture, I'm flexible on a lot of topics you'll find).  I would
encourage you to be there at the interview if/when we are showing an empty
room.  Your opinion will be important in the decision.

Pets:

I'm sorry, no pets at this time unfortunately.  If a friend comes over with
a pet to visit that could be okay if everyone is good with it.  

To get in:

1st Month (pro-rated if needed)

Last Month

$200 refundable deposit.  To return deposit, the room would need to be clean
and have zero damage.

An example would look like:  875 + 875 +200 = $1950 to acquire keys.  Unless prorating days or if you end up with the smaller
basement room.  

What we're looking for:

A solid, responsible, and relaxed community.  Ideally young and young at
heart 20’s-45yr olds to keep the chemistry would be great but we're open.
Someone who is self-aware and also doesn't mind utilizing a little patience
when it comes to other roommates.  Looking out for others and being aware of
your own stuff is the key.  Example, music on is good.... Loud music is okay
if no one is home, but you should probably double check other areas of the
home to see if the walls aren't shaking and make sure you're not blasting
anyone out.  Some people work from home, some people work at night.  Be sure
you're not disturbing or making life miserable for others.  Intelligent
freedom.    

Deal Breakers:

Doing things that affect the reasonable peace of others. Smoking indoors. Putting others in unsafe circumstances.

Im really looking forward to meeting interested people and showing off the space.  It's a really cool house, I'm sure you'll dig it.  

Thanks for looking! DM me if you have any interest or questions.
