  1. I have moles. They’re annoying as hell and my dog seems to think she can solve the problem. She has tried and is too slow. All that leaves is holes in my yard. What can I do?
  2. I got a couple pics. First is what I was referring to. Second is what’s happening on the other side of the yard. I didn’t realize it was spreading as much as it is u til today.
  3. I have st Augustine. It’s pretty thick throughout. We moved in June 1st. There are spots of thick weeks. Grass is trying to infiltrate, but it’s not going to happen. What can I do to help? It’s some different color green that almost looks like grass. I’ll have to take a pic maybe tomorrow.
  4. How big is your town? Can you try to get $ from any of the Main Street programs out there?
  5. My dog passed almost a year ago. Pyrenees/lab mix. I came home from work yesterday and surprised the kids (and the wife a little) with a dog. Wife knew, it’s just this dog is bigger than she expected. Here’s Penny. Almost 5 month old mix. Has Pyrenees in her (double dew claw) but that’s about all we know. Mom was about 40 lbs. She’s about 17 now.
  6. So maybe I was ok. I have Bifen IT, dilution rate is .33 to 1.0 oz per gallon. 1 oz is 2 tablespoon, so the 2 setting without the teaspoon converter. I just had a stronger concentration. I just feel like I used a lot.
  7. Right, so I didn’t do that. What made you do that? I guess I just don’t understand the spray conversions.
  8. That’s the same sprayer I used. So you pulled out the teaspoon converter?
  9. So I got the Bifen and was in a rush last night to spray. I think I miscalculated and used way too much. What setting do I put my hose end sprayer on? 1 oz per gallon? I think that’s wrong. Bifen says mix in the sprayer 1 oz per gallon and that should cover 1k sq ft. Is that the same coverage I should get with my hose end sprayer going at 1oz per gallon? I have a big yard but feel like I used way too much product.
  10. Headed there Saturday for a week with the wife and kids. I haven’t had a chance to do any research about anything, but saw Yelapa this morning reading somewhere. My kids learned how to snorkel a couple nights ago in the pool, so we might try to do that somewhere. I’m not a big snorkel fan, but my wife is and it looks like my kids are going to be. Otherwise, I have no clue what we’re going to get into next week. Just hoping the weather will be nice.
  11. Nm- answered my own question
  12. Just had a tree taken out in my front yard (almost dead oak - just moved in, not sure what it died from). Ground down the stump and instead of taking those chunks, they left them. In the past, I’ve had tree guys take all that, then I’ve backfilled with dirt and then sod over top. Can I just lay sod over that? I thought I read somewhere it’s best to get it out.
  13. My kids were born at Seton and Waterloo gave me a beer and a milkshake (for baby mama). This was just 5 years ago for my last.
  14. Where are all the sex stories? My college girl friend worked at Steak and Ale during holidays and summers. All she ever talked about was how everyone was sleeping with each other. She was probably the ring leader.
  15. Her name is Joyce. Here’s another from her, “glad you or ok. I have killed 3 coral snakes year before last. one at my back door. one in my garden and one by my swing. I take my hoe with me when I go outside. had a copperhead at my front door. now I look before I open any door. they say they like the cool concrete. use moth balls around your garbage cans .they don't like the smell. snakes com out starting late April.” I need to try and meet Joyce.
  16. This was the most often posted saying. Thread has around 200 posts from about 10 different neighborhoods. Here’s one that caught my eye “I am from West Texas, we had rattle snakes. I was always scared to go down the storm Seller .during a storm. my dad would go first with a gun.and light .then my Brother and sister mother and me. would follow my dad. we lived 28 miles south of Lubbock, Texas .on a farm.”
  17. So I just saw this was posted yesterday... Followed by a bunch of idiots fighting about different sayings about how to identify a coral snake. And then whether or not a coral snake has to chew on you to release venom. Followed by many “prayers”. The guy who posted was named Scott. After a while everyone started to wonder where Scott was. He chimed in that he was at the ER. Meanwhile, people were still fighting about what kind of snake it was and recommending he seek help. Later he replied he was home safe. Said he’ll never mow without his rubber boots on again.
  18. Bought a house and have a contractor handling the remodel. We’re currently not living in the house (in our old house still). Cabinet guy goes off on his own and installs built-ins that look nothing like the picture my wife gave the contractor. Contractor says “Hey, those look nothing like the picture.” Cabinet guy tells him “I spoke to her, these are what she wants.” They weren’t. She wanted the picture. Contractor and cabinet guy get in argument. Contractor pays cabinet guy for new material and they rebuild. Some other bullshit ensues and cabinet guy walks off job. Contractor tells him that if he leaves the job he’s not getting paid. I have no knowledge of any of this, except the guy built wrong cabinets and had to redo them and that he quit. Last week my wife calls while I’m at work saying we got a certified letter in the mail. Guy is putting a lien on our house for unpaid work. Sends us the invoices. Invoices are billed to the construction company, not me. Builder says he has no grounds because his beef is with builder and not me. I haven’t written cabinet guy any checks and I have no contract with cabinet guy. Is the contractor right? tldr; cabinet guy and contractor tiff, cabinet guy putting lien on my house, contractor says don’t worry. Should I?
  19. The only thing that pisses me off is that you can only have 1 email account per login.gov account. I set my GE account up before login.gov and didn’t thing to port it over before I set my kids login.gov accounts up. My daughter got my email address. My other 2 kids got their own email addresses because I wised up. But damn. I was in a hurry and got caught... I used a secondary email when I had to port my GE over to update my passport in Dec so it wasn’t that big of a deal.
  20. Actually yes! I sent the buyer’s realtor my in-laws sellers disclosure from the sell of their house back in September. It was off market, so not an available comp, but a perfect comp to our house. With it, I sent the argument for why it was a good fit. She passed it along to the FHA lender last week. They heard back yesterday and the appraisal came up a pretty decent amount. My options were to work with this buyer or play the field and deal with what comes. We decided a bird in the hand is better and worked with the buyer. In the end, I’m happy with the deal and I’m done. My wife claims she doesn’t remember, but we’re still selling for more than she thought we would 8 months ago.
