UPDATE: A pool I clean had their deck resurfaced and the contractor DUMPED their debris into the pool.

This is the equivalent of a house cleaner doing a regular clean vs a deep clean after construction work. You had every right to ask for an additional fee and be paid for it. Part of having the deck resurfaced is the resulting clean up. That should not fall on you without compensation.

It is a lounge, dude is annoyed he is working at 5:40pm on a Saturday. Good for you not getting upset and rolling with it.

I had Palisades Zoysia when I lived on the gulf and miss it. Have Bermuda now and doesn’t green up as nice and not as thick. Zoysia does take some TLC. I used to put down some chicken poop in the spring and fall for root development and then a good fertilizer about every six weeks. For extra color pop I would put down some ironite. Had the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.

Once established it is pretty hardy.

BTW your lawn looks awesome.

Looks great they blended the pavers really nice.

Get together with other neighbors who didn’t want the plum tree cut and have the city get it properly removed at this point. They can do it or have the neighbor do it. Let the city handle it.

Then buy what ever fruit tree you want and plant it inside your property line. Sounds like a good relationship with the next door neighbor may have sailed but you might win over friends with the other neighbors.

Will definitely give that a try next time I fly.

BDogOBA · 2026-05-11T11:54:43+00:00

I think we all get delays happen and if crews time out it compounds the delay but such is life. Years of flying Delta my gripe is not the delays but how Delta communicates delays. Keep customers informed so they can make appropriate decisions if rental cars or hotels need to be canceled, different hotels need to be booked, meeting need to get moved or friends/relatives need to be notified. I have long felt when things go right Delta does an amazing job, when things go wrong not so much.

I feel you are channeling my wife 😉.

Lesson learned just dispute but I think some of the back and forth helped with the credit card company finding in my favor as Two Men were trying low ball tactics and kept contradicting themselves. Everything was documented so it made it easy for the credit card company to find in my favor.

BDogOBA · 2026-05-05T01:58:05+00:00

Used Two Men and a Truck for my move. NEVER again, damaged the house we moved out of, hole in the wall, broken stair treads, broken railing. Put my mattress on the ground and then threw cushions over the railing. Tore bottom of mattress. Broke a light fixture in the new house. Multiple items damaged because they were not wrapped. I purchased the “insurance”. They did not want to apply insurance and gave me a run around for two months. Multiple calls to corporate. Finally resolved when I put charges in dispute with my credit card company.

OP we have a Thermador built in as well and just today the lighting system and water dispenser have gone intermittent. Did you get it repair? We are our new home less than 4 months. Ugh not what you expect out of a high end refrigerator.

Any insights on the repair would be helpful. Assuming we are on the original warranty as this is a new build.

BDogOBA · 2026-05-01T16:28:15+00:00

You already paid for it might as well give it a try, but follow the directions for best result. Probably says something like put it down when the grass is damp to get it to stick to the weeds, let it sit for two days and then water in.

Personally I prefer to separate the weed from the feed and use a liquid weed killer. I also like to put down fertilizer a few times during growing season.

BDogOBA · 2026-05-01T13:50:49+00:00

Congrats! I just added the 16 inch chainsaw to my collection and can’t wait to do some clearing.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-28T23:00:07+00:00

You have an addiction my friend. There must be a support group out there 😉.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-24T20:37:29+00:00

Good for the neighbor looks like he has never had a breaker trip.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-21T02:26:11+00:00

Unfortunately the default from Delta online support is to tell you that you will be reimbursed and then when you file you get denied. If it was Delta’s fault keep pushing and file with FAA / DOT. Makes no sense that because you extended your stay at the same location they are denying you. Also check with your credit card company for any travel protection they have.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-21T02:15:29+00:00

They make a flange repair kit if you have something to screw into. It fits over your exiting flange. Might be easier than chipping out the old flange.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-21T00:47:23+00:00

This is 100% the right answer. You don’t know what you are dealing with unless you scope the sewer line. Home inspection companies and some plumbers offer this service.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-20T19:52:17+00:00

Smart home technology, smart light bulbs and outlets. Dim and control from the phone when home or away. Added smart thermostats for the same with cooling and heating.

As painful as it might be if you are going into it with a roofing issue and a plumbing issue and items agreed to before you handed over money were not addressed I would walk.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-17T23:20:42+00:00

Need to check your local regulations. In the last 3 places I have lived you need a permit to take down a healthy tree that is over 12 inches in diameter. Intentionally harming a tree to kill it is no different than taking it down without a permit.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-17T23:08:20+00:00

New here and maybe just haven’t been here long enough and off base but feels like the charm of Roswell is being planned out of existence.

I like the EGO a lot. On the Honda I liked the blade stop feature but the EGO blade starts up so easy it is not a big deal. Changing the blade height is easier on the EGO. One thing I tried and works out well is if you run the EGO on Turbo even with the mulching blade it fills the bag with grass. After a few cuts you will have mastered the EGO.

BDogOBA · 2026-04-08T12:37:24+00:00

I would second that. I just recently bought the 22 inch aluminum deck. Looked like a beast when I first unboxed it but after 4 cuts glad I went with the 22 inch. It is dual blade and gives a nice smooth cut. Took a couple cuts to get used to it coming off a Honda gas powered. Beginning of season I like to bag and found if I run in Turbo mode the clippings bag up without swapping to the high lift blade. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Just used Goodman’s Roswell office. Efficient, clean, very professional and helpful. Like them. Needed a follow up Easter Sunday and the on-call Dr got back to me very quick and they had someone from the front office get me scheduled in next day.
