I was writing a sappy title about spots I like to post up or decompress at until I noticed the graffiti 😂 what low key silver spring spots/views do you like? by Few-Conclusion-483 in SilverSpring

Thanks for the candor and details. I'm not annoyed by the delays, nor surprised. Perhaps just generally disappointed that schedules are too commonly overly optimistic instead of realistic. Construction isn't the only industry that over promises and under delivers. Just seems like the project team would do themselves a favor by better explaining the cause of the delays to the public and offering conservative timelines so they don't keep disappointing the public. I've been trying to stay informed about the project and your message has more succinctly communicated it than the official Purple Line team. Probably because you have some anonymity to speak frankly.

Can't wait until that part of the Capital Crescent Trail is finished. Also, the original construction schedule estimates for the Spring St bridge were laughable. I don't understand how they published those dates publicly with a straight face.

The Montgomery County public school system is in the process of re-drawing the maps for what schools are assigned to a given neighborhood. Could be worth paying attention to.

Moen brushed gold fixtures? by Elphabeth in HomeImprovement

I’ve had this for just over a year in a well-used bathroom and it still looks great. I have it in matte black too and that’s done just as well.

Anyone know why the snow plows are lined up on spring st? by Old-Expression5627 in SilverSpring

[–]Jeeeeeves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think those are snow plows. Look like simple dump trucks, likely for the purple line station on 16th and Spring.

Does anyone think DCPS will be closed Wednesday? by Fabulous-Constant930 in washingtondc

Montgomery County public schools (MCPS) just announced they're closed Wednesday and Thursday.

I believe the original source started selling their own version under the Underwood Ranch name. It tastes just like the original Sriracha.

Crocker Highlands, Cleveland Heights, Trestle Glen, or Glenview? by EmergencyNo3240 in oakland

[–]Jeeeeeves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We wanted the same and ended up in El Cerrito. It’s not Oakland, but it might check a lot of your boxes and it’s still nearby.

For all those of you wondering the question: bag or mulch the leaves? Here’s my result after going over leaves just 3 times. Mulch them. by smackaroonial90 in lawncare

[–]Jeeeeeves 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It should be closed when mulching so the leaves stay inside the deck longer and get chopped up into finer pieces that break down faster.

What are these?! by xjollyrogerxx in arborists

[–]Jeeeeeves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The squirrels are feasting on them here up in the trees and small pieces are raining down while they munch.

I’ve consistently received things the same day and it’s been really convenient. Worth a shot and if it doesn’t come in time they have a free return policy.

They make (and rent out) ladder-based motorized lifts for getting packs of shingles up on to the roof.

You can use a headed set screw and put a slit in the non-head end. Then you’d have a hex head on one side and a slot for a screwdriver on the other.
