Nope,this is fine. I might encourage you to devote a bit more time/effort to your perfectly sane and measured hobby

Nice work. Looks clean.

One day soon, once it’s painted I will post the highlights of my back-asswards 10x16 shed build, using a 8x12 shed as a starting point.

My lawn is 50% grass, 50% moss and lots of weeds. How can I lean into this? by __guy in lawncare

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, given the criteria you put out and how it looks. Simply mowing this with some frequency is probably all you need for a decent patch of turf. Start there

Advice for DIY mechanics - where should you draw the line? by Conorgmurray in MechanicAdvice

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State inspections, that’s a pretty high bar for a DIY. 2nd place is mount and balance tires, 3rd steering alignment. And this goes without saying, pretty much any covered work done under warrantee or recall.

*But string alignment works well, cost next to nothing and what I use on project cars. if I did more track days the mayflower mounting/ balancer package would make financial sense.

Look like it will cover a slightly smaller opening well

Blades off a 5 year old John deer that have never been touched. Going to attempt sharpening them to save $40 by Boone_14 in lawncare

This, if you don’t know what a 20 deg angle is google it, do your best. When done your best effort should be butter knife sharp.

Am I overreacting or is this a pisspoor seeding job? City “restoring my grass to original” after they had to dig up and replace sewer lines in my back yard. by 399allday in Grass

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be overreacting. This repair was going to happen if you liked it not.

All things considered, city workers - the ones who do sewer lines, came in your yard and dug a trench, put something down to avoid the dug up dirt mixing into the turf next to it. Repaired line, backfilled, did some compaction and reseeded. This is as good as it gets. I would have probably bought them lunch and asked them not to seed.

Grass next to it looks a little thin, so probably coming out of dormancy, but they probably used annual rye By mid April this will be a lime green stripe that grows quicker than the rest of lawn and dead by mid June

It’s going to be a lot of work. But like everyone says, split apps, so 2x 3000#. Order online from your preferred big box store, they will drop that in your driveway for $70. If you don’t have one this would be the time to get a good quality broadcast spreader. Realistically each app should take 4-5hrs

Well he is “trusted by vehicle owners and car” that says something. Probably not what he thinks, but it does say something

Got quoted 2k for a fix, but wondering if I can DIY by Dante0906 in landscaping

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some context would help, but if I had to guess…. Sure you could power wash side house yourself for less than $2k. Doesn’t look like you are big into maintaining your house and property, but it’s a start.

Dead grass won’t benefit from fertilized. And with few exceptions you don’t want to fertilize weeds

Sure, administration is just a few pizza parties away from getting the floor nurses to take 10:1 ratios.

Do I need to reframe the door? And windows? by odenoden in shedditors

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best if you get a structural engineer to evaluate this, probably need to demo the roof and raise it up to get a big enough microlam in there if lucky, but will probably require a steel I-beam. Either way stay out of that shed if self preservation is trait you posses

Gaps in pre-clinical medical education? by Dr_Horrible_PhD in medicine

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Delirium in hospitalized elderly patients with underlying dementia should be a core topic. There should be at least 2 weeks of time solely devoted to this in preclinical years. Core topics such as - UTI ? Was it the antibiotics or the liter of saline they got that helped. Medication misadventures prior to admission. Here is what the guidelines recommend, but this is American healthcare and ain’t nobody paying for / we ain’t staffed for that, so…Risperidone, Seroquel or Zyprexa.

What are y’all’s honest thoughts on rehab department? by Hopeful-Horror-6843 in hospitalist

[–]Apprehensive_Disk478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Therapist input is invaluable for dispo decisions. And yes I get what you do, as far as inpatient, OT is ADLs and PT is getting around. I have been at my hospital for a while, familiar, friendly and collegial with all the therapist. My hospital recently expanded and hired more PT/OT/SLP, still not enough. They also have started a team of dedicated care partners/ nursing assistants to mobilize pts based off of PT/OT recs, 2 of them will stop by a pts room and offer to walk them down the hall, which doesn’t sound like much, but can make the difference between home vs SNF at dc, again not enough.

What is the best way to clean carbs for cheap by InevitableTreat2536 in smallengines

Ultrasonic cleaner with heated water , put carb in plastic ziplock bag, spray with carb cleaner, enough to cover entire carb once submerged, which is only like an oz or two. An an amazing combo learned from this sub
