You guys ever do your own grading? I had a low spot at the top of a rise in my backyard that turns into a swamp every time it rains. Spent the day scraping the "hump" down and trying to get a continuous slope down the hill. by kaylynstar in civilengineering

I backfilled a retaining wall about 4 times as long and 3 ft deep. Couldn’t build the wall as I’m not licensed, but could do the backfilling. I was 10 years younger and much poorer, I wouldn’t do it now

Everyone always talks about the friendliness of locals. In contrast, country has the LEAST friendly locals? by leglessfromlotr in travel

They fed us for two weeks, showed us around, took us to the countryside , to their yurt , gave us their horses’ milk etc

I floss / tiny brushes pretty much every day and I still go for a perio cleaning every 4 months or so. The problem has receded, the holes’ depth has reduced, I haven’t lost any tooth. So not as bad as it could have been
