I almost forgot about this wall and they FINALLY sent me the proper application to fill out to get this thing (hopefully) approved. Still uncertain if I’ll have to remove it or not, I really hope not but nothing is confirmed. #wall #retainingwall #erosionbarrier #wall
If I ever do need a wheelchair, I won’t be able to go into the second or third floor of my garage, or go to my fish basement and my personal basement. If I cannot walk, I won’t be able to manage this home and property and I’ll just have to leave. The ramp would only solve one of a dozen problems, and it’s big, ugly, and in the way. It was destined to go. Bye bye ramp. Next spring I’m building an above ground goldfish pond and patio space #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
Also you should also wear gloves when dealing with medicated flake feed, and I know it may look like I’m not wearing gloves, but they are there, just invisible. #flake #feed #fish #goldfish
#ad Here’s how you change the water on a goldfish tank. The reason I change so much is because of the large amount of waste my goldfish produce especially with my higher feeding rate for growth. Big thanks to @Aqueon for sending me their water care line. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
GREENHOUSE APPROVED! My original plan was to build a single 50x60 foot greenhouse over this area, but due to permit difficulties and how close I am to a wetland, all renovations must be on top of existing foundations of buildings. So I will maximize the U.S. the area and build two greenhouses (the big one is approved!) over the two previous foundations that are still here from the previous buildings. The concrete wall stuff is still in limbo (waiting weeks for a call back from the state). #fishery #greenhouse #construction #goldfish
After experiencing nine months of this stuff, I can definitively say that it does more harm than good. I am hoping that the pothos roots can replace the role yarn had and the roots make a big web of hiding places. #fish #goldfish #guppy #aquarium
There is a part of me that is tempted to make a second fish basement for the heck of it but also this place would be under my living area and circulate the humid air into my living space and would probably not be the best for the house… but how cool would it be to have TWO fish basements. #basement #renovation #DIY #flooring
#ad If you want to overwinter your goldfish, you can! You’ll need a bubbler/sponge filter and a water heater. You want to keep at that water heater near the bubbler so there’s still a way for the water to oxygenate throughout the winter and doesn’t freeze over. Some of the more delicate fancies may not be able to take this, but a good healthy one will, just don’t feed them! #fish #goldfish #aquarium
Love these panels so much more than the original ones that would crumble into your eye every time you have to move it. They look much nicer, are easier to take in and out, and don’t crumble into your eyes. #dropceiling #DIY #basementrenovation #construction
It’s not so easy to just pick up and move a tank, especially when that tank’s concept relies upon top down lighting for the plant growth. It’s definitely doable, but might be a pain to set-up and top off occasionally being in that basement. #tank #fish #goldfish
Everytime I go a while without feeding veggies, I feel like the Goldies are a bit reluctant to start eating them again. Takes them some time to get used to it lol. Bowser and Balthazar on the other hand will devour anything. #turtles #fish #fishbasement
I’m sure some cat owners out there train and take care of their cats properly to avoid most of this, however I’ve had to break my back and bank trying to remediate the cat disaster from the previous owners. My siblings are landlords and I’ve been to some of their properties where their tenants have cats and it’s the same smell. If you decide to get a cat, invest as much time and resources as needed to ensure it ONLY does its business in its litter box because the property damage just ain’t worth it. #cats #smell #pets
If you buy an old house from people that lived there a while, chances are you’re gonna need a dumpster (multiple times). So much random Junk in the garage, stuff from inside the fishery building, stuff in the shed, basement renovation junk. It just was too much. #junk #dumpster #garbage
It’s time to breed some fish, first I house the fish I want to breed together and I’m gonna ramp up the feed and water changes and intervene when I see first signs of chasing. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
