  1. [mention]cactusflinthead [/mention] - getting these weeds all over my zoysia grass. What do you recommend for getting rid of them? Currently using Certainty for spot treatment of nutsedge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. question for you. just laid down some zoysia yesterday and spread some 14-14-14. i'm planning to water it twice a day for 30 mins each time for the next week is this good?
  3. we went with pentair equipment. different pool builders will push different equipment. from everything i read, there really isn't any big differences between hayward, pentair, and jandy. we have a chlorine pool and maintenance is really easy. get yourself a test kit, download the pool math app, and add in the liquid chlorine/muriatic acid as the app tells you. brush the pool a couple of times a week, use the net to catch bugs/leaves/debris on the surface and you're good. we do not have trees near our pool so we don't have to deal with that. we got a robotic (pentair kreepy krauly) and it does a really good job of cleaning. my one gripe is that we had bar stools built in, and it will get stuck there or get stuck above the main drain suctions. additionally, our pool builder built in the plumbing in case we ever want to go back to a regular cleaner. cleaning the spa out is a pain in the ass though. you have to use that damn vacuum hose and it's not all that great.
  4. there's zero fucking chance that will happen. you'd be lucky to have the city approve your permit within 6 weeks, and that's assuming you've already got a pool builder lined up with full architectural plans ready to submit for permit approval
  5. it's going to be a fucking pain in the ass. things will go off-schedule, you'll run into issues. the permits and inspections will take fucking forever. my pool was to be completed my memorial day 2019. it was finally finished at the end of september and we had a whole wasted summer. it's all worth it now but it will be stressful
  6. call any pool service company out to get your pentair screenlogic set up. when our pool was done, the pool builder hired a pool service company to come out and set up all the equipment. as far as maintenance, get yourself a test kit and download the pool math app. this is the one i have https://tftestkits.net/test-kits-c4/ and it's awesome. you run your tests (you'll need to test twice a week during the summer as the heat just eats up the chlorine), plug in your test results into the pool math app and it'll tell you exactly how much liquid chlorine or muriatic acid to add. it's very easy and not time consuming our pool in Austin gets sun pretty much 100% of the day and it never got above 86.
  7. i've been keeping it fairly long as i like the way it looks - so mow it short then? thanks for all of the advice
  8. i laid down some fertilizer with pre-emergent about 3 months ago. what would you recommend next? this is a new zoysia yard laid down in october, in austin
  9. i haven't pulled any dead ones. seems like my zoysia takes it over after it's dead. that fucking nutsedge keeps coming back though in other places
  10. just start coughing like a motherfucker when they approach your window. fucking heroes my ass
  11. doesn't seem like the idiot cop was too worried about pathogens when he punched the kid with the bleeding mouth. cut the bullshit
  12. I use B&B with my large BGE and I’ve been pretty happy with it. I need to buy a kick ash basket. I have the CGS adjustable rig and for briskets i do the oval stone at the bottom, followed by a pan 3/4 full of water, then brisket at the top level. I cook hot and fast, 300* in the dome. Do not use any of the digital thermometers. Spritz with Apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire combo each hour, wrap in butcher paper around 160 when it’s dark as hell already, pull after 203 or when it’s probing like butter in the thickest part of the flat. I also trim the brisket pretty good, especially those corner areas in the point where all that hard fat is. Salt and pepper only (2:3 ratio). This is my brisket from a couple of weeks ago. No idea how I got a smoke ring this time as I never get one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Awesome, thanks for the advice. Can I buy these products from you? If I recall you own a shop in round rock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  19. Hey Cactus, question for you. Laid down some zoysia sod in October and put down some Scott’s fertilizer and weed killer. Starting to get quite a bit of weeds, crabgrass i believe. What should I put down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. wife and kids switched from AT&T to T Mobile because the price difference was just way too much. I still have AT&T through work. AT&T service is definitely better service wise, but the cost savings make up for it.
  21. Fuck this offense. Fuck this defense. fuck STs. Fuck every coach on this team Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. laid down palisades Zoysia 13 days ago and been watering it twice a day since then. i spread new sod food or whatever it's called on the ground before laying it, and then on top after laying it. how often should i be watering going forward? is there anything else i need to add? oh also, one of the sprinkler install guys says he saw a coral snake. besides nuking the house, anything i can do to repel them?
  23. we are in final stage of construction. Pool has been plastered and full of water, just waiting on finishing touches on the deck but we are able to swim. i'll post pics once everything is ready. took 6+ months from dig to now because my supervisor was an idiot, but we've been able to swim the past two weekends and yes, pools are very much worth it.
