Transform your Comment into Cash
It is time for Steemit Comment Challenge Number #26!!
Note: This is the 3rd week now without voting. There will no longer be a Top 5 based on the most voted comments. Instead, the winner and the 2nd place will both be selected by the judges.
As I wrote in my last update, I have stopped using bid bots on my challenge posts. Short term it will most likely reduce the potential prize payout, but I hope it will have a positive long term effect.
So expect prizes to be reduced gradually starting with this round.
Thank you for your understanding!
The partnership with the #newbieresteemday initiative will continue. I'm happy to have them by my side and I try to do my best to support their users. The Newbieresteem initiative is an excellent community for new Steemians. Their motto and this challenge are meant to strengthen interaction skills, to support and motivate better participation. And what better way to interact with others than through excellent comments.
Get ready to deliver some magnificent comments! Polish your keyboard and sharpen your mind, I wanna see those comments rolling in. Please show me what you have got!
It is important to get followers, but you also want the correct type of followers. Followers that are truly interested in your blog and what you write, and not the βI-follow-you-if-you-follow-meβ kind of type. And to attract the right type of followers, you need to write godlike comments.
This challenge is all about writing godlike comments.
- In each challenge a post from a fellow minnow will be featured.
- The challenge is to write an amazing comment related to that post.
- I will resteem the post.
- I will give it a 100% upvote.
This will be part of my campaign to help other Minnows. The#minnowsupportproject helped me and I want to help others.
Join the challenge and practice your skills.
Please join the fun! π π
That will be me reading your entries...

I like the way those broken up pavers turned out. The only thawed ground out here for us is the greenhouse. In fact, we are under a blizzard today. And I've caught some sort of flue. Otherwise, I'd step out and snap a pic of the whiteout. In the mean time, I can at least appreciate the warmer visions of great work done by @jorlauski. I can't wait to get outside when the snow is gone up here and get to work on my own projects.
Confirmed!
Thank you for this week's first entry.
I'm sorry to hear about your flu and the blizzard. I hope it will all soon be in the past. Let's hope for some warmer weather so you soon can get outside and work in the garden. :)
Awwe, thanks! Can't wait to get my hands in the dirt again. We will post updates on our channel and blog as we go.
thank you so much! I look forward to checking out your greenhouse - I love getting new ideas and looking at other people gardens to see what they've done -thanks for checking out my blog
The post is a nice guide on improving your home landscape. The DIY project turned out great. The couple did a good job and their dog wasn't left out.
Confirmed!
The dog in that picture was not easy to find without the hint in the text. ;)
It was really an awesome transformation lol
What i loved most about their work is the unity, there is always strength in unity
Even the dog wasn't left out lol
Anyways it was a work of art to behold
Showing us that even with the little we have we can do more
I was bleseed, thank you
Confirmed!
Thank you Drey-Chris, happy to have you here.
Thanks @danielsaori I had to join this time lol
Very cool @danielsaori β not only a nice contest, but also a new quality content creator to follow! Here's my comment to @jorlauski:
Confirmed!
Appreciate the nice words and thank you for a great comment.
SteemOn curatorcat!
thank you - I'm a big fan of curves and natural looking landscaping - wait till you see what we do next!
No way! I just couldn't take off my observing-eyes and my imagination away from @jorlauski's post. Himself and his wife put a meaningful effort on the patio especially...mehn, that period she had to lay the broken bricks in a mosaic pattern, and where a next brick to be laid does not fit the pattern she thus readjusted...I doff my hat for her (that effort of hers is highly commendable).

What's an interesting family project!
This is quite an experimental homesteading idea.
@danielsaori has done a great job, searching out this very meaningful post...π
I love it..βΊοΈ
Confirmed!
Thank you and nice to have you back.
Thanks @danielsaori, you don't forgot people so easily..π
And it feels good to know that #commentchallenge is now less difficult.
Here goes mine. I don't know if I should enter but what the heck lol!
@leeart thank you for checking out my blog and for the feedback - I actually agree with you - cause Im a stickler for things being lined up and proportional - but what you don't see here is that from the front view - you can see that it actually is centered on the step and has an equal amount of space on both sides - but from these images it is hard to tell...thanks for reading it and fro the great comments and feedback - please be sure to check out my followup to this
Confirmed!
Nice comment leeart, and I like that you took the time to provide feedback and potential improvements.
I tried :D
Cheers!
Congrats on the 2nd prize.
Great move that you decided to join. ;)
This makes me want to watch out for the next round and join again lol! Thanks!
Wow. I love there creativity. Something you think is useless then they made sense with it.
You know an adage says there is sense in nonsense.
I respect there curiosity for a creative work.
Confirmed!
First off .. I would like to thank @danielsaori for featuring my article in this contest - It is an honor to have my work recognized by such an esteemed member of Steemit. And to the rest of you that have such kind words for the work we've done
Thank you all!!
We loved all the compliments - and it was a lot of work that we've been putting in to it and to read all your awesome feedback - put a huge smile on both of our faces. Thanks to all of you for the support - I hope you will continue to follow our journey as we transform this entire 1/3 of acre into our beautiful homestead.
You are welcome! My pleasure to feature your post and it is awesome to see all the cool comments dropping in.
Looking forward to your next post to see how it will progress. Take care and SteemOn! :)
Finished product looks pretty schmick. I'm about as handy as a crack in a glass eye when it comes to landscaping.
Or in true click-bait style... "This person wanted to add a patio and I can't believe what happens next....."
Confirmed!
You should make that into a post with that title :) Would be a hit for sure!
Again I am grateful for this opportunity, I do not fail, I am still standing to reach the first place, here my participation for this week, good luck for all...
Confirmed!
Thank you Melva. I agree that it was a great teamwork and some decent planning that made it all possible.
the works that are done with love, have great results, thank you for this opportunity and for allowing me to be part of it
I have to say the broken paver mosaic did it for me. I just love the idea of repurposing. Save money and looks awesome. I would love to see the final effort for the pathway. Love the illustrations so we can see what it looks like.
Just a quick question. Was that cement that you swept in and watered down or just send?
Confirmed!
Thank you Dreamer! I see you already got a reply from Jorlauski about the sand. :)
He really is awesome.
I will follow him going forward. The tips is budget and neat
Great work i must say. Loved the way you took it one step after another and boom everything came into place to produce such an output. It is really wonderful what you did and i must say it really turned out good. Plus, to see your wife all engaged too into the work makes it quite interesting, amazing and i must say kinda sweet..
Confirmed!
Thank you SOL. :)
Magnificent job. You have really found a means of bonding with your wife by engaging her in landscape designs. I love the systematic approach, almost as if you were designing a model for a scientific solution. I think pavers could have been inclined a little bit in an oblique manner, gives the patio more shine when the sun falls on it. Nonetheless, nice work and keep on working on landscapes with your wife, it has a long-term benefit.
Confirmed!
Thank you Aseneca.
Wow, nice job you did out there @jorlauski. You guys are really hardworking and creative. From the beginning of the project it looked impossible('cos I felt it's supposed to be done by professional(s) only), but it turned out great.
Yea, the dog is at the top right corner of the picture... I guess it doesn't even know what's going on 'cos it looks like it's sleeping,lolzzz.
With this work here, a novice can follow the steps and come out with same result or even better. I think I can use the steps and come out with something good also,'cos I'm a novice. #smiles
Weldone, looking forward to seeing the next step in your DIY post.
Confirmed!
Thanks Amoni. About the picture with the dog, I had to go back and check again as I was sure it was in the top left corner. ;) The dog looks really relaxed, sleeping and perhaps inspecting the work done by the humans.
Sand is normally the best option as it will be compact but still with some flexibility. If cement is used the risk is that it will break after some time and create both ugly and uncomfortable cracks.
Thanks for accepting my entry sir @danielsaori. About the positioning of the dog, I was actually thinking left corner but wrote right corner, thanks for the observation.
About the cement stuff, I'm just knowing that for the 1st time, wow.
My entry, posted as is to the author:
You have a nice "project" there. π
If I may suggest, you can also transform the walkway into 2 beautiful types:
1. Reflexology walkway.
You can walk on it in the morning/afternoon to help improve your health.
2. Watery steeping stone
I think this idea could be beautifully done if the area is large enough. Although, water maintenance could be a hassle. Static and dirty pool of water could bring lots of diseases.
Confirmed!
Those are some nice suggestions, although a bit complex. But, hey! Why keep it simple? :)
thank you @daniesaori for this week's post. i really enjoyed the landscaping.
here is my comment:
wow. this is just too amazizng. salute to your creativity.
and seriously, women just kinda have this special power of making everything beautiful.
Am glad you guys made the best use of all the resources available at your disposal.
and i could spot the dog though showing not fully.
Its a nice job you guys did. wow. it looks so beautiful.
If i may ask, how long did this take and what was the most challenging part of it?
And am sure sitting some beautiful flowers will beautify the environment more.
weldone guys
Thank you for the comment t-flames. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. The deadline for submission is actually Friday morning 8am UTC, so unfortunately your comment was not taken into consideration.
Hope to see you back in the next round. :)
Wow! Looks fantastic! I've got an old flagstone patio and short walkway in front of my house, but both are in need of a re-do due to weeds and both becoming very uneven. I've attempted placing rocks/stepping stones before and have had difficulty getting them even. What did you and your wife do to make all so level and firm? Patio where your dog is lying looks particularly well put together.
Congratulations to the 1st Prize!
Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you, thank you, danielsaori! Not only does it feel fantastic to be recognized, but I am so enjoying upvoting great minnow content with your gift :)
Happy to hear that. I'm sorry it is only for one week, but please spread some love with those extra pennies. :)
Confirmed!
Well done Kimberly. This is the kind of comment I love to receive. Short, but detailed. You show an interest in their work and starts a conversation by asking for their advice.
I would suggest you add this to @jorlauski post as well to make him aware.
Wow, just wow I can't believe my eyes. These guys are just too amazing. See the way they make beauty out of something ordinary and troublesome. I really respect their creativity.
Confirmed!
Thank you for your entry.
Thank you for the beautiful work you are doing too.
Hello @jorlauski! it is really gratifying to find such fresh and original publications that allow you to appreciate the work of others and learn at the same time, I confess that the mosaic of broken cobblestones being so simple demands great attention and dedication, I admire the ability of your wife to do it, it is a simple test that even with reused materials we can do great things, I would like to see the final result of your garden, congratulations
Confirmed!
Thank you olymar.
Greetings, daniel

Greetings, jorlauski
I saw your man tutorial. I do not understand anything related to gardens and how one mounts.
As well as being very well crafted and very well built, I imagine that it has caused you a very good feeling, because doing something we enjoy is immensely pleasurable both to do and to complete.
Many thanks for this diy. This do it yourself was a great toturial.
good evening
Confirmed!

GOOD POST MASTER.

It is a bit generic. My advice would be to add more details linking back to the post by @jorlauski. At the moment, this comment would fit almost any artistic post.
I hope you see my point.
thank you for your participation master @danielsaori
I really appreciate your suggestion,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
@jorlauski kudosπ
Diy is what I like most and this is one of the best I've seen
