Hey Reddit! I’m on the hunt for some advice on sprucing up my fence line for more privacy. While emerald greens or arborvitae are the go-to options, I’m a bit worried about them not surviving and, honestly, they’re everywhere! I’ve done a quick mockup, but I’d love to hear your suggestions or see any mockups you might have. I’m aiming for privacy, but also want to add some color and variety to my backyard.

Oh, and I have a dog, so any plant suggestions need to be dog-friendly. Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to add a new everyday watch to my collection and have narrowed it down to these three: the Tissot PRC 100, the Tissot Seastar 1000 40mm, and the Seiko SSC813 “Panda” solar chronograph. I’m trying to find the best all-around option that can handle daily wear, work with casual outfits like jeans, hoodies, polos, and quarter-zips, but also look good with more dressed-up clothing when needed.

Reliability and long-term ownership are important to me. I like the idea of quartz or solar movements because of the low maintenance, but I’m open to hearing arguments for any of these watches. The PRC 100 seems versatile and sporty, the Seastar offers true dive watch capability, and the SSC813 has the popular panda chronograph look with solar convenience.

For those who own one or more of these watches, which would you choose as the best daily wearer and why? How do they compare in comfort, finishing, versatility, and overall value?

I’m leaning the CX50, forester and 2024 CRV. What’s would you go with? All 1 owner, good service records and no accidents.

Need suggestions on lights for the back deck.

Options:

1. String bulb lights - cheap and DIY
2. Permanent outdoor lights on soffit - more expensive
3. install recessed lights in soffit.

What would you do?
