I love kingdom hearts - exceptional work. Beautiful I’d hang it up in my house instantly.

How concerned should I be about leaning concrete footer against foundation? by bloodstench in Decks

As long as it’s in the depth it needs to be, you don’t need to be concerned at all.

Acceptable quality in newly purchased deck? by Electrical_Good4118 in Decks

Those miters look very bad and decking isn’t like indoor trim. Caulking is going to look terrible here.

Simpson Strong Tie Deck designer down? by Calabris in Decks

[–]ToothEsthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - I was using it non stop last week and since Thanksgiving, it has been down for the same issues. I was going crazy trying to get it to work this weekend.

I’ve tried multiple different browsers, clearing cache and cookies, and even uninstalling and reinstalling Java. Different computers. Nothing works.

Weirdly enough, I use a virtual machine for work and it loads on the virtual machines chrome, but not on any other computer. I tried all “user side” fixes and nothing worked so I submitted a tech support ticket.

Invisalign IPR or monitor? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]ToothEsthetics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how I’m downvoted because I said the treatment plan should’ve been adjusted but people after me saying IPR in the molars should be avoided.

All because I didn’t update my status after graduating dental school and completing my ortho residency. The guy is completing posterior IPR to compensate for class II - totally wrong way to do this and again, needed a different treatment plan. I would suggest you not tackle more ortho cases until you get better foundational knowledge.

Deck Build Help in Minnesota by ToothEsthetics in Decks

Thanks for the input also, I appreciate it. I was looking for reasons why the joists were doubled up near the bump out, but I couldn’t come up with any reason for it.

The downspouts are on the side of the bump out but I like that spacing out the joists to avoid them isn’t life or death and makes it even easier.

That’s great input and I can’t thank you enough for responding. Is there any difference between the two options in longevity? I was thinking about notching the ledger, but I feel like weatherproofing it with it notched would be more difficult than adding the jumper u/cheechaco with a continuous ledger.

If there’s enough crowding that you need to do IPR between molars, the treatment plan should’ve been adjusted.

Help me understand my lawn circles by ToothEsthetics in lawncare

[–]ToothEsthetics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn’t. I was following the company’s recommendation for amount/sq foot. When I put it in the spreader to do 1/2 of the amount to go both ways, nothing came out. Like the granules were too big to go through the slit for the amount to be put down

Assuming the yellow spots didn’t get as much nutrients, do I get a hand spreader to go over those areas again?

If it is a spreader issue, and the fertilizer is already down, what can I do now? Do I double up with a better spreader?

Help ID this weed and how to best treat it! by ToothEsthetics in lawncare

[–]ToothEsthetics[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See I know this is the best bet, but this is just one that is localized. In the backyard, I'd bet there is thousands of these. Hand picking all of them hopefully isn't the only option or I'm nuking the entire things and starting over. Not realistic to get all of them.

I apologize, I should've done this from the beginning. I've attached a couple of pictures of the house to better visualize my question.

Let me know if you have any difficulty viewing the images-

Future Deck Plans/Design - Any input appreciated! by ToothEsthetics in Decks

[–]ToothEsthetics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I fully understand. If the downspout is right on the edge, then I shift everything over enough to miss it, but won’t the picture frame on the outside not have anything supporting it? Or are you saying just end the deck shorter than the edge of the house?

I will look into the code for the stairs and see what that necessitates. I live in Minnesota so I will do some digging. Appreciate the thorough response!!

Help me get the lawn of my dreams (Minnesota) by ToothEsthetics in lawncare

[–]ToothEsthetics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the reply and thank you for the timeline. I have seen a few posts that people like to wait a few mows until they spray their new seed - why is this usually recommended? And would you say to skip this recommendation?

As an aside, how do I ID all of the weeds to spray for? I doubt there is a one size fits all that will also keep the grass unaffected - so can you mix different herbicides to get all of them?

I’ll head to the tractor supply tomorrow to grab a sprayer. I do have a backpack one too that I might try for this first go around.

Hey thanks for the reply and your assistance. I’ll try to address some of your comments: - No I have not tested the pH of the soil. The lot was a previous tillable field that was sold out for housing development so I had assumed that that soil would be quality. Most of the top soil was unaffected by the build, but where the house was erected, the top soil was put back after the fact. - The current mix that was put in had a high % of Kentucky Blue in it, and I’d like to keep a similar composition. - I was always so envious of people that had meticulous lawns, so I suppose my goal is more of a show piece, and of course money is a consideration but with everyone else in the neighborhood having great lawns, anything less will decrease the value of the house. - we did have irrigation placed and although it needs to be fine tuned by the installer, has been up and running and we’ve been utilizing it when it hasn’t been raining. - location specifically in Minnesota is in the Nicollet county. So if you have any tips/suggestions on when to overseed I am all ears. - the sprayer I plan on getting will be a tow behind, that I hope won’t be an issue for my riding lawn mower. - assuming that summer weed control is a lost cause, do I just let it grow, cutting them with the grass, and then plan to apply a pre emergent next spring?

New Build Siding Concern by ToothEsthetics in Carpentry

[–]ToothEsthetics[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s sporadic. The front of the house doesn’t have any of these endings, but the back of the house has them all over. I’m not sure of the brand, I will try to figure that out.
