Maker's Monday

Trying out a new weekly thread idea.

This would be a thread for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

@ArjinFerman, @Turniper, and myself all had some initial interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

We put up a deer fence, which purported to also keep out smaller critters by having narrower mesh at the bottom, but after it was up we learned that it wasn't actually narrow enough to keep out young rabbits, so we attached a layer of chicken wire around the perimeter. Squirrels and birds still get in, though; there's no keeping them out.

On the gardening subreddits people also recommend wire wastebaskets from the dollar store, turned upside down, to protect smaller plants. It's a decent solution for those who don't want to deal with actual fencing.

I might do that for my blueberry plants that keep getting chomped down during the winter...
