This is a thinly veiled excuse for not working on my E9, and a competing thread to: http://www.e9coupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17735]What did you do to your E9 Today


So rather than work on my E9 after purchase, this is what I've done over the past 6 weekends.


  • Using rocks from my ridiculously rocky glacial till soil, I built a 50' dry creek bed. The largest rocks were well over 100lbs, the smallest were smaller than a golf ball. I ran a new water service line in December, and saved the larger rocks from the project for this.
  • Power washed the back patio - as my 2800 badge indicates things like to get mossy here
  • Installed drip irrigation in 3 raised garden beds. Ran 200' of 3/4" poly to the beds and another 150' of funny pipe. Should save an hour a day of watering this summer! I was too cheap to rent a $150 trencher for the short 50' run, so I used my Sawzall to cut the sod and trenched it by hand. It worked remarkably well, with exception to the whole glacial till thing, and the blisters on my hand ;)

I'm not really into posting pictures of my house, but post away if you wish! I like home improvement more than automotive work. I have a long list of things to do that will undoubtedly get in the way of any BMW work, so I'll post them here.
