It's an expendable. Line set foam needs to be replaced every few years and takes about 10 minutes. Add it to the maintainance schedule and don't overthink it.

I'll put in a little woodstove and I've got a plan to run about 30 feet of PVC in some trenches 3 feet down that will provide some air conditioning.
Power will come from the main house (it's only 50 feet away), planning on LEDs.
If I can execute the way I'm thinking, it will be really cool with stairs suspended by cables to a "loft" that will be 4' high in back and 8' high in front.
We're using salvage materials from a junque shop in Seattle. Most of the windows will be repurposed full relight wood doors. We got an old stained glass window from a church teardown (with no iconography, just cool geometry).

It's sad and happy. I am officially old (50), I say this because the best bday present I could ever get was my parents paying for my driveway paving. You have no idea how happy this makes me, and how much less I will suffer with a shovel (soon snowblower). Plus I think with all the other improvements we have done it kinda "completes" the front (landscaping aside)..
again please excuse any "upstate" mess you see, it's all a work in progress. For example 2nd to last photo used to be an entire overgrown mess of vines and a tree (on ground), right where you see the batting net. Was a shitshow but opening it makes the yard look great imho.

Place is looking good. Somewhere I read that an average full-grown oak tree has 750,000 leaves. Something to think about as fall approaches.

Thanks sir. Yeah I mostly mow it all down to mulch with the zero turn or push mower so leaves aren't a huge deal but it's not fun times for sure.
Guess it's the price to pay for a nice slice of this blue marble.

I've got a few oaks that have easily 65 ft of straight trunk. Maybe I should chance the lumber market? Naaaa I love the seclusion.

Update: I put in the last "wrong" section last weekend, pretty sure the appraiser didn't see the 2" mismatch in the corner.
After considering all the other long term options here and looking at the concrete for 3 days I think the concrete really looks the best. Debating if I want to re make 1-2 sections to match, or cast the new one in place.

That dead wall over the garage gives me the bleh's. No gable overhang, window opening or interesting detail. Captures the tract house look perfectly. Any chance to add a window or two? What rooms are on the other side?
Driveway looks nice.www.apriliaforum.com

It had a window. On the interior it looked off with the new design. I agree its a blank space. We are planning to add a wood burning stove on the wall behind that side so unlikely we will add windows.
Not a tract home though. Built in 1940s and was what appears to be a small cottage, likely under 1000sq ft. The part you see is an addition to the orig house. Again the original window looked even more weird where it was placed. The room has 6 windows (4 front facing seen in pics) and 2 out facing backyard, as well as a sliding glass door so there are plenty of windows.
