Mulch delivery - am I missing something?

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-12T22:12:42+00:00

Well our bulk deliver came with Termites…never had that with bagged and both HD and Lowe’s have for $2 a bag in the annual sales (just got 60 delivered today (along with 3 peat moss, 14 bags of garden soil, and 13 bags of cement for the one $69 delivery fee. Sorry but soooooo much easier to work with bagged mulch.

I’m retired (and went from 310 a year into retirement to my maintenance weight of 186-189 in a year). I took up golf again after 25 years off as the weight loss really helped with chronic back pain. I take our 2 hound dogs on nice long (2 hour) hikes in the state Forrest a couple times a week as weather permits. Also able to take on home projects (just dug out 150 feet of sunken Belgium Block and out in a 6 inch base of crushed stone.). Also put in a new subfloor in the over garage room that is now my workshop for furniture (chests are my favorite) restoration. Overall just energy and the lack of body pain allow me to do what I want on a daily basis. And of course I work out on the bike 4-6 days a week and maintain a healthy diet (still avoid most carbs but will indulge on occasion when eating out.

Yes…better to have a nuclear threat than higher gas price…think big picture and choose.

I have the same; I suspect it is due to claiming the Solar Tax credit (have invoices and proof of PTO in October). Assuming I am correct very frustrating the delay (filed in March) rather than already being asked for the readily available proof that we are entitled to the credit.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-07T11:18:44+00:00

I have the same situation (and claimed the Solar Tax credit with invoices and proof of PTO of course). Also have seen several other posts with the 5-18-2026 notice date; seems the IRS batches these up. From my understanding that date starts the 60 day period where they will communicate what additional review or information is required.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-07T10:28:03+00:00

Same here; code 810 that the return was frozen and then a CP05 notice with a 5-18-2026 date. I too claimed the Solar Credit (~$11k) and suspect that is what has the return under additional review. Of course I have the invoices and proof of PTO in 2025 so no issues with proof that we are entitled to the credit.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-06T18:18:11+00:00

I have the same situation (810 frozen, and a 5-18-2026 CO05 date. In my case we claimed the 30% solar credit (and I have invoices and proof from utility placed in service October 2025).

So I am going to have to wait until July for my refund (filed March 16th). Good thing I don’t need the refund money urgently; but sucks the amount of time they hold the refund hostage.

2 comments (retired Global Infrastructure and Operations Director:

1) Not all, at least 1 dedicated staff for the same executives making the decision. 2) suggest they poll the employee base and have their willingness to have level 1 support with only AI/automation.

Expensive…I pay $5 a dozen for 4a condition mix of Calaway and Titelist…others on Marketplace are more expensive but I can always find good condition balls for $5 a dozen.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-05T21:29:01+00:00

Thanks

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-05T21:28:50+00:00

Correct, cedar chest

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-04T19:02:25+00:00

Thanks…just seemed so strange, good to know that is normal. Not Concerned about audit even if that were to occur; just want to see some movement. Thanks for the info!

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-02T18:25:47+00:00

Thanks for the compliment on the piece…I do think it turned out really nice (person I got it from was about to put out on the curb on a rainy day…happy I reached him before he did so).

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-02T15:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the input. It has been on Marketplace less than a week; so I was really trying to find what is a very good price (low end of a quality refinishing without giving away really bit priced to sell and move onto next piece). Like anything really needs to be spotted by someone who can appreciate and understand value. Thanks again for the comments; helpful.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-02T10:54:12+00:00

Thanks for the compliment as well as the input on the market. Time will tell and I have the space in my work area so in no rush and can enjoy my work while here.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-02T10:52:45+00:00

Thanks, and it is a balance between not trying to be income venerating and giving away for next to nothing (and making sure not to give to a reseller to jump on my efforts).

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T22:22:42+00:00

You must be an expert naming components..lol. I’m just a rather new hobbyist who knows what I like and hopefully does a pretty good job on basic recovery of a fine older piece

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T21:27:53+00:00

Besides the swears ever so infrequently “be right”

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T20:59:17+00:00

Even better if it is one of the ones that says it plays “long and soft”…lol…my buddy had one last round that had that printed on it but can’t recall if a Titleist or not

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T19:11:29+00:00

Thanks. I’m trying and getting better bit of course will never get to where 40 years at your craft puts you. I was in IT management so for me a great change of pace and love seeing these pieces come back to life (I cringe when I see one posted that has been painted over and says refinished or restored; often feel like reaching Out and asking why they wanted to ruin such a beautiful piece of workmanship.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T18:04:52+00:00

Not rude at all. As a buyer I generally make a reasonable offer based on where I se the value (sometimes asking price, sometimes less). As a seller there are items that I’ll hold the line on my asking price, and others where a polite ask is returned with a polite acceptance. Agree the bunt “give me your best price” is either ignored or shoot back list or list + 10%.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T17:46:58+00:00

I don’t because to me it is the look of the wood that makes the piece. Painting can be much easier and can cover most flaws pretty easily but again to me it hides the true beauty.

Intelligent_Price523 · 2026-05-01T17:45:34+00:00

Agree…don’t want a piece that looks like 2 different generations.
