Love my garage cleat wall but I think I’ll be doing base cabinets for a cleaner look.

Would geogrid be necessary or overkill behind a wall I am preparing to build?

Six feet past the end of my driveway I’m digging down roughly 3.5’ (faint orange line to left of wheelbarrow) for a drystack retaining wall to level out our yard. The wall will come up about 24” above the grade behind it. (Sorry if I’m not using the proper terminology) I’ll be compacting gravel behind the wall and using fabric to keep the gravel in place but I wanted to know if this is a situation where geogrid would be good to use as well. Thanks in advance

Every now and then I think about whether or not mounting the era 300’s up in the areas marked red. If they were angled down would it work by having the sound bounce off the drywall that would be above it or does the overall shape/size of the room negate any advantage of moving the speakers from where they currently are now? Thanks in advance

It’s crazy to think of how this started. Around 2008 I was drawing/doodling a lot of geometric shapes and patterns and that slowly turned into various mandala designs. Then a friend of mine suggested I do the map of Florida and fill it in with the mandala designs. Then I attempted to do each state but kinda got burnt out after a while. Then a few years later I tried replacing the geometric shapes on the mandala with plants and animals that could be found in my home state of NJ. While the design was cool looking I knew it wouldn’t be the design I would stick with. That made me lose the mandala shape and just fill in the state with plants and animals in a way that looked balanced, color and shape-wise. I still have a long way to go but here’s what I have so far.
