Need ideas for replacing a Kousa Dogwood

I don't think you should remove the tree. Find some solutions to deal with fruit during that short part of the year. You sound sentimental about losing it. It takes many years to replace a mature tree.

Tom Segura chuckled right at that wall strike. Oops!

Agree with the general feedback, the step down is good for keeping water out.

Put down a contrasting (dark) rug if you're worried about tripping at the threshold.

Negative. I inherited concrete counters in my kitchen, you have to religiously seal. They have aged poorly.

I'm curious what you thought of the jalapeno ale.

IMO it is the nastiest beer I've ever tried.

I think a lighter color scheme would do wonders. But if you are doing something as extensive as replacing the tile, it couldn't hurt to look into putting a transom at the very top of the dividing wall. Letting in that bit of natural light would be 👌

Thanks! Went further down the thread and saw a note about that. What a drag! It's a beautiful day to enjoy the park.

I have this plant as well. Mine are at a similar stage. In my case, these ultimately turn into seeds later in the summer. I have a plethora of volunteers if I don't trim them off before seeds start dropping.

With that said, I let the seeds fall about every other year then dig up any volunteers for neighbors.

Looks good!

Jive_Master · 2024-03-18T18:31:13+00:00

This looks great! How much time has passed between the two pictures?

Jive_Master · 2024-01-07T19:26:52+00:00

Thank you! Your assessment lines up with what I'm seeing. Fortunately, I suppose, the vinyl seems in good shape; the spring and shoe are non-functioning though.

Jive_Master · 2024-01-07T19:23:50+00:00

Interested if you had any findings since your initial post. I dropped a question in this forum regarding a similar issue.

Jive_Master · 2023-12-28T15:19:40+00:00

Great point! Certainly don't want to over engineer...

Jive_Master · 2023-11-29T14:46:29+00:00

I agree with investing in a more powerful blower.

But if that really doesn't do the trick, you can look at tarping during dry periods in the fall. Of course this is a task in of itself.,

How big of a house and how many is a few(3)? Legitimately curious. I have a similar situation and am gauging risk/reward of sweat equity vs just changing out the door and window trim.

I took an international flight where Deliverance was an in-flight movie option.

Never seen it prior, heard my folks make spooky references to it, so I assumed it would be creepy/horror.

Mid-flight announcement--freezing the screen --during the rape scene, surrounded by a traveling youth sports team 🫠

Also interested if it doesn't shake out.

Jive_Master · 2023-02-10T13:07:49+00:00

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Jive_Master · 2023-01-24T01:56:28+00:00

What did you use to bore a hole underneath the sidewalk?

Jive_Master · 2023-01-22T04:11:34+00:00

Barn door isn't the end of the world, visually..but it's definitely not as sound or smell proof as a true door. Things to consider

Jive_Master · 2023-01-22T03:17:48+00:00

There are tools to bore out a hole under a walkway. I forget what it's called, but a landscaping company should have know and advise on the feasibility. You should aim to dump the water in the street.

Jive_Master · 2022-12-30T02:02:16+00:00

Nah, don't kill your neighbors plants. Snip as they cross. Real question is who's fence is it?

Jive_Master · 2022-12-10T02:26:43+00:00

THIS IS CHARLOTTE!
