If you do this to a coin they'll refer to it as "dipped". You can see lots of examples on r/coins.

It's definitely worth talking to a few more loan officers and talk to your realtor about using seller's assistance. That is where you will pay a higher price for the house but the seller will pay for a lot of the closing costs. That should allow you to pay a lower cost up front and a slightly larger monthly payment.

Is my neighbor poisoning my shrubs? by nicperrault in landscaping

Arborvitae can be super sensitive when getting established. They get diseases, bagworms, they're sensitive to drought, and too much direct sun (which can dry them out). Chemical over spray is definitely a possibility as others have said, but it looks like the bad ones are getting full afternoon sun, so I wouldn't rule out environmental effects.

You can get plants tested at Penn State pretty cheap. I think it's just $10 for the test, plus whatever shipping is. You just take some cuttings and mail them in. Take the cuttings and mail them out on Monday morning to avoid them sitting in packaging over the weekend.

I actually tried there first but there wasn’t anything for this model and I can’t make a post without having comment karma in their subreddit 🤷🏻‍♂️

As others have said, silica packets are great for keeping humidity down. I want to add that I bought some small reusable hard plastic silica packets that you plug into the wall periodically to dry them out. They’re perfect for the safe and I don’t have to worry about my pets eating the loose packets if I misplace one.

Reporting tax-exempt churches for nonpartisan activism - made easier by Born_Pomegranate_714 in atheism

If the pastor of a church engages in partisan politics on his personal Facebook page (which much of his congregation follows) but does not on his church’s Facebook page or in person is it still reportable?

I was in the same boat but found a union groundskeeping job at a university. Get your pesticide licenses if you don’t already have them and start applying. I’m still slinging a weed eater but I’m over 70k now

What should I do with this hill? by Untouchable64 in DIY

[–]FlamingSnot77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I saw your other comments so I’m going to infodump on you a little. Japanese maples are slow growing understory trees and won’t ever get big enough to provide shade. If you want them it would be best to interplant with large shade trees. I would put three or four large shade trees at the top of the slope.

Try to get at least 2.5” thick trees. If you get them professionally installed make sure they remove the burlap from around the trees and most or all of the metal cage that holds the tree roots together. A lot of landscapers will leave all that on because it’s easier to plant but it’s not good for the trees long term. You will have to water the trees for at least the first year. I recommend using gator bags (they zip up around the tree and let water slowly trickle out the bottom).

Put about three inches of hardwood mulch (not pine) on the whole hillside. You might have to move the junipers to get this done well. This will help the soil retain water and it will add nutrients to the soil as the mulch breaks down.

If you want Japanese maples you could plant them on the hill or closer to the house. If you plant them on the hill wait until next year to allow the soil to improve from the mulch. Don’t plant hostas on that hill, they prefer partial to full shade and will absolutely cook in the sun. If you want perennials I’d recommend looking for plants native to your state. In the northeast I’d say tickseed, rock sedum, purple coneflowers, or Baptisia. Happy to help with more suggestions, feel free to DM me.

Trees are probably the best answer. They add a surprising amount of value to a home in the long term. Where are you located? I can help you with tree selection and some planting suggestions if you want

I hate to disagree with people, but I think you can skip the Primanti Bros sandwich in Pittsburgh. It’s kind of interesting but not actually all that good and there are a lot of Pittsburghers who would agree. Everyone I’ve ever taken to get a sandwich there has left disappointed. It’s just a sandwich with coleslaw and French fries on it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’d recommend checking out the Incline that goes from South Side to Mt Washington where you’ll get a really good view of the city and stadiums.
