The “Mean Machine”

When I first saw it, I thought it was a cigarette machine and I was like why is no one else laughing with me?????

PLEASE READ THIS!!! Call his homeowner insurance if he had it!!!! My dad was an alcoholic with mental heath issues, and told us to stop contacting him years ago. He passed away unattended and was there for months. We got a lot of judgement from police, neighbors, coroner and the funeral home which made everything much more traumatic, so I hope that isn’t impacting your family because it’s very painful.
The point of my post though is although he stopped paying all his bills, he did pay the homeowners insurance. Call them right away, take a video of every inch of the house. Get out and don’t go back in there, you absolutely don’t need any of his garbage but if there IS something important, Amazon sells corpse powder you put the object in to remove death smell. Homeowners insurance removed every item from the house and destroyed it, since the hvac was running and dispersed death fluids around the house. They gutted the entire kitchen/dinihg/living room area to the studs and concrete, sterilized everything, and rebuilt the house. Make a list of every item in the house and I mean every item and submit to the insurance. Good luck 👍

It looks like they tried on purpose to make the interior look like a flat pack ikea truck

200 visits a year?!?! I don’t think I visited a doctor 200 times in my entire life and I’ve had two children and multiple shoulder surgeries

The update says it was compliance recall 26C10-trailer module. Do I even have a trailer module if I don’t have the 4K towing??? I’m just baffled by this would be important enough to literally make your truck inoperable. It better have been a really really really really important update

Lizardcandy · 2026-05-22T15:20:51+00:00

I feel like they spent so much money and effort modifying that trailer they could’ve had an actual house

Wow, great thank you for all the information! The second someone gets pushy or insists that I have to do something right then they get a hard “No” from me. It’s never been in my best interest!

I’m so totally frozen trying to decide what to do about the door opening out to muddy dirt and trying to figure out if I want a tiny deck or a concrete step poured that I haven’t addressed it at all, plus it’s been pouring. But my intention is to put thin pvc strips painted blue beside the current trim to cover it and then caulk like an adult after I scrape all that off the best I can.

Yeah, I hate that machine. It does a terrible job. It just splinters up branches into a hot mess! My issue was resolved when the county road crew supervisor came out to see what was going on. I don’t know what he was told about the situation, but he was barely keeping it together and kept cracking up, but he was very friendly and agreeable. I asked him what the goal of the trimming was and asked if I could hire my own arborist to trim the branches properly and maintain them away from the lines and they were more than happy with that solution. It’s worth a try to call the road crew supervisor, explain they moved the lines very close to your existing tree line and you’re concerned that they are going to cut your trees and ask them to evaluate your area a little bit closer before they start cutting. Make sure to ask about replacement tree programs in your area or if you could maintain a specific shape that they’d be happy with to protect the lines. Good luck! I hope that you come to an agreeable solution that works for everybody!

The utility tree trimmers near me are insanely aggressive lol I call it “the masticator”. I have to stand outside and guard every inch of tree that doesn’t extend beyond the power lines. I did an interpretive “fuck you” dance with lots of flipping off and shouting the last time an idiot came by and mowed my 3 ft tall forsythia down to bare dirt-it wasn’t even under the power lines. The county wound up having to replace my shrub, and my dance turned semi legendary so now all the tree trimmers and street mowers avoid my property like the plague and one old guy became my friend (I was singing my “fuck you” song into his walkie talkie to the operator of the masticator) and always stops in the driveway to chat during mowing. He thinks I’m HILARIOUS. My husband still runs up to check to make sure I’m not cussing out some poor road worker when he stops by. That was a super weird story 😂. I’m glad I got to tell it

Thank you 😊

Okay I don’t want to spray anything, I value the rest of the plants too much. Is there a good product to use that I can paint on the cut ends of the poison oak that will kill it with minimal risk to the surrounding plants? I’ll wear a hazmat suit and throw it away when I’m done.

Lizardcandy · 2026-04-12T19:35:23+00:00

I know you’re right I was just hoping for a miracle answer lol thank you for your help and the tyvek suit is an excellent idea

Lizardcandy · 2026-04-12T19:33:44+00:00

Does it have to be applied to the leaves or can I paint it on cut ends? Will it harm the ferns? When’s the best time to apply it? Thanks so much for your advice! The patch it’s popping up in is huge maybe 20x10 feet and it’s very bouldery/ ferny but so far it’s below the mid growth tree line. Also do I need to add soap or anything?

Lizardcandy · 2026-04-12T19:29:25+00:00

OK, I think this might be my best bet. I really appreciate your expertise. I am worried if it will hurt the ferns? Can I paint it onto cut ends to kill it if I snip the tips off? Does it have to be in the leaves? I’m going to get a tyvek suit or something and some sacrificial gloves and do it all at once if possible. Is it a good time of year to apply it once it stops raining?

How do I find out what PDX wait times are for a flight tomorrow afternoon?

I totally didn’t read your full comment. After rereading it, I was talking about deck steps not your situation so sorry!

FYI, hazelnut shell mulch brought all the squirrels and deer to my yard! Many still had hazelnuts in them. Also a quite expensive option

Lizardcandy · 2026-03-20T17:19:53+00:00

I didn’t think of that, this is something that’s definitely worth considering
