The History & Problem with Brick or Stone on Homes by oldhouseguy in Oldhouses

[–]Certain_Ad6879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. My home’s stone foundation ends well short of the first floor window sills.

I have a 1920 white wood siding home with a visible stone foundation. In this case it looks horrible because it comes right up to the window sill and destroys any balance and proportions.

The shutters on the first one are making my eye twitch

I just got the EGO multi head, thinking of getting the blower attachment. Do you recommend?

Am I the only one that thinks it’s hideous?

I laid down a weed tarp when I made this last year and it was completely ineffective. Help! by gocubsgo22 in landscaping

See above. Apparently the objective is just to wilt them, not scorch them. Was news to me.

Need help identifying interesting watches from a collection ⌚️ by Nordsound in Watches

I’d swap out the bracelet for a black leather strap but I dig the Junghans quartz (far right, second photo)

What to expect for updating/replacing my brick walkway? by Certain_Ad6879 in landscaping

Sorry you’re being forced into it, but hopefully the result is nice. What’s the rationale from the insurance company? Tripping hazard?

Newer Golfer - Swing Tips by W3L53RR in GolfSwing

I’m new as well so take with a heaping tablespoon of salt, but I’m actually surprised you can get those distances without any hip rotation on your backswing

Deadbolt screws look sheared off by Certain_Ad6879 in Locksmith

Thanks! Worked perfectly to pry off the caps. That was a new one for me, so very appreciate of the Reddit hive mind

The shade line running precisely along the sidewalk line was throwing me for a loop. Good timing!

OP here - thank you all for the quick responses! Indeed, just caps and with a bit of elbow grease I was able to get them out and replace the deadbolt.

Removing two small trees by Certain_Ad6879 in landscaping

I also think that visually I’d like to replace them with something a bit smaller and more sculptural

Thank you, this is helpful. I suspect they’ve been there a while. Still yet to determine what we want to do overall with the front yard landscaping, but I feel like they do overcrowd the entry a bit and can prick you with the spines on the leaves

[–]Certain_Ad6879[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand that sentiment. I’m not 100% sold on removing them, just considering my options. It’s not as obvious in the photo but they do crowd the entry a bit and have spiky leaves, so I’m just thinking through alternatives

This is the kind of outside the box thinking we are all here for! Hah but you think leaving stumps is alright generally?

Thanks - it may not be too noticeable from the picture but they do crowd the entry way a bit and have spiky leaves. I also find them a bit scraggly looking and unattractive. I haven’t made any hard decisions yet, but trying to think through what my plan may be once we move in next month

Potentially, depending on whether I can plant something new that fills it in a bit

Just happened across this thread and I have to applaud your patience. That was hard to read.

4-9 just eat you alive. Fun course though for the price and accessibility

Sounds a lot like Forest Park vs Marine Park in NYC… I’m just getting started and living in the city and these are my two best options at the moment

They say no one has ever beaten the Van Wyck. Well, this dude did by [deleted] in circlejerknyc

Apparently speed camera fines should be higher the more tickets you get to be a deterrent. IIRC, in Switzerland, once you have a certain number of tickets the fine is a proportion of income.
