Seems a lot simpler than the big ones. Any one done one like this? Never put one together. Might go for flat fee. Thanks!

We had a pretty brutal winter in the Midwest followed by a cold spring here in Zone 6a. It’s already May and we’re still getting overnight frosts.

One of my boxwoods is looking really rough compared to the others. It has a lot of yellow/tan leaves, although there is still some green growth coming through. I attached photos of the struggling shrub along with another nearby boxwood that’s starting to green up normally for comparison.

I’d really like to save this one if possible since it’s part of a hedge, and replacing it with a smaller shrub would look pretty awkward.

Does this look like winter burn/stress that it can recover from, or is it likely too far gone? Anything I should be doing right now in terms of pruning, watering, or fertilizer to help it bounce back?

Thanks!

I would like to finish framing the bottom of my basement stairs and put a full wall of drywall up so the kids stop running under it. Planning on floating a base plate on my subfloor and running studs from floor to stair stringer. How do I screw in the studs into the existing ones? Drilling at an angle seems wrong. Should I just offset the new studs so I can drill directly into the stringer?

Thanks in advance from a new homeowner.
