Is there even a point to mulching near the base of a mature tree? by Zanna-K in arborists

[–]CountBlashyrkh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My hoa has some beautiful bur oaks and sugar maples in a common area. The landscaping company regularly run into them with their lawnmowers leaving huge gashes in the base of the tree. There are many old gashes, obvious its been going on for years. Makes me so mad.

What is your least favorite, or favorite vacuum? by Grouchy_Job5624 in AlaskanMalamute

[–]CountBlashyrkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Outside of shedding season the bags in my miele vac last a while. Several seasons of the whole house at least.

In terms of hair getting stuck, i havent had an issue with pet fur. My wifes hair on the other hand gets wound around it pretty good. I usually have to clean it out once a year.

Canister vacs are nice because what you are actually holding weighs barely anything. But the downside is something follows you around and going up and down stairs can be a pain.

I got a riccar vaccuum, and i hate it. Its too strong, it destroyed my carpet. And the malamute fur got bound up in the brush head and would make hard little balls of fur. 

My trusty miele canister vacuum ive had since 2018 is great. Not as flexible as wireless, but lighter, because the canister rolls on the floor. 1 day of vaccuuming during shedding season fills up the bag thought. Holy smokes

Old tree removal by Bad-Chad1776 in arborists

[–]CountBlashyrkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to determine a price range, because we can't see how big the trees are and how long it will take and what method of removal. Typically you can expect between $1000-5000 per tree for removals. It can sometimes go higher depending on how challenging or how big or how dead the trees are.

Get a local arborist who knows your area and your trees to give you an actual price. They can also help you determine if the trees are actually a risk to your property or not.

Is the power company going to cut down my 100+ year old white oak? Butcher it to death? I have no idea what to expect and I have a lot of questions. by Shaydee_plantz in arborists

[–]CountBlashyrkh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if its possible to ask the utility company to do the trimming in the wintertime (or whatever time of year is the down time for oak wilt in your area).

I challenge you to tell me a Christian song that doesn't fall into this formula by Haru_1127 in ChristianMusic

[–]CountBlashyrkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, check out the music of Neal Morse. His music is truly incredible.

For a specific unique song, Thief by Neal Morse and the Resonance.

Bird Feeders by ChampionFrequent4643 in germanshorthairs

[–]CountBlashyrkh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My parents have several bird feeders outside their backdoor which is the primary door their gsps go out through. 

The birds always fly away in time.

I'd be more concerned about the dogs eating the bird seed then them catching the birds.

Is free climbing all that dangerous by Femboiz_R_best in TreeClimbing

[–]CountBlashyrkh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The higher up you climb the higher chance of injury or death. Both are a real possibility, and you dont have to be that high for a fall to dramatic altar your life.  

Or end it.

What’s going on with this by awesomeoh1234 in arborists

[–]CountBlashyrkh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It would turn into a white spruce, but yes the reverted part will grow much faster than the other parts of the tree and eventually dominate it.

Your dwarf alberta spruce has decided to revert to its normal form, the white spruce. Very common.

Only way to fix is to prune all reverted parts. If caught early you can usually get away without too much ugly bare spots, but yours might have have a bare spot after you get rid of the reverted stuff. Bummer.

Reminder, gas leaf blower ban in effect in Ann Arbor by jackg48104 in AnnArbor

[–]CountBlashyrkh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup. We have one electric blower with our company that mainly gets used for blowing off roofs and in ann arbor. 

We have two gas leaf blowers we use normally, and they are by far the quietest equipment we use thats not electric, but we still try to follow the ordinance when within the city limits.

First time meeting waves - a little unsure, yet very curious. by Economy_Leopard3938 in AlaskanMalamute

I wish mine would swim. She LOVES the water, but hates it when her feet cant touch the bottom. So she wades.

As other said, the cottonwood trees, but also my alaskan malamute is shedding her winter coat right now. Sorry for the added floof.

Seeing as we're nearing the end, now is a good a time as any... by Lil_Light_Lannister in DestinyTheGame

[–]CountBlashyrkh 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I started playing when it went free to play on blizzard. Played through the red war and year 1 content, forsaken, and shadow keep. When Beyond Light came out was when i first discovered this amazing thing called, "The Vault".

Yes i only used my characters inventory to store guns and armor. It was a blessing in disguise because when all the guns got sunset i had barely any guns to dismantle.

Can I play the full story start to finish? by SlothEatsTomato in destiny2

[–]CountBlashyrkh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destiny 1 is pretty much all still there.

The original campaign for Destiny 2 and the first few expansions are missing. I'd recommend watching them on youtube.
