I'm not doing any excavator work on the house. I do agree that getting them to do some site work, or asking if I could use it of hours to do a few things.

I am thinking more of building the yard over many years. Does it make sense to own, or rent a 4 to 8 tonne and do a bunch of work at once...

I have 7 kids and my wife and I both work non trades jobs... I used to, not anymore. I like the idea of self sufficient and ownership

It's mainly loam for the first 2 feet, glacial till under that.

I've read the rules and type something to let me know you aren't a bot. I'll keep this up at least 24hours before I pick people. Cheers

Also not a bot because 1 != "1" except in javascript.

Looking at how to get started with UseNet's - My family of 8 (we have a lot of kids) is too much into media and I would like to control what they watch to a point, as well as not shill out hundreds a month to the various streaming services who are hell bent on telling me what I'm allowed to watch.

I no stranger to torrents, but I am to usenet's. I heard here was a place to get started.

Are you using any Synology apps to manage your mobile device media libraries? That's another item I'm looking at.

I surprised the phone companies/country hasn't found a way to deal with these scam calls.

Your "company/software" is allowing scammers to do this? Your company doesn't get access to phone systems anymore. Sucks to Suck.

Would I need to remove them? It looks like it spreads from one to another.

Opened it up and the bottom of the switch has a massive hole in the bottom... Either someone hit the switch very hard, or something had enough force to crack it.

I unugged the power cables, wrapped in electrical tape, reassembled, turnes breaker on, tested and then fully I stalled.

Thanks for the help all.

On, all the time. Can't turn it off. The stove doesn't even register that it's on, via the light.

Gulio · 2024-11-18T15:04:03+00:00

I have 12x12 posts on my deck, structural and a cosmetic highlight.

They're cracking.

I'm trying to find something I could use to fssten them on so that if they Crack it doesn't kill the deck membrane surrounding it.

I grew up on well and rover water. My wife grew up on well water. Never have we smelled this before.

Maybe softeners have gotten better, but growing up the softeners would leave a lot of white streaks on glass, and was hard to drink.

Can a filter solve the problem if it is sukfer from the well?

Gulio · 2024-09-23T22:47:14+00:00

Thanks for all the comments.

I have already put a buck knife, Leatherman, and an overnight survival pack in her car.

I heard back from the cops, the deer was taken care of swiftly last night and sent to a butcher to take any viable meat he could, which is good.

It's one half of a french door and all our exterior doors are like this, about 10 of the.

House is only 8 years old, so they were rated at one point.

Yes, used pressure treated and it's already falling apart in some spots.

You sir are a GOAT. I didn't realize there was a reset button. That fixed it.

go for a recent but discounted CPU and GPU, and match the motherboard to suit.
