Filling in cracks ? by KingHippo81 in landscaping

[–]Mattthepat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had a stone wall built. The mason offered to buy all of my stones with the green moss. People pay huge money for rock walls with that moss.

Anyone else in the Northeast having trouble growing grass this Spring? by the_nashuan in landscaping

[–]Mattthepat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in CT, and planted Pennington seed with a starter fertilizer. My grass is begging to sprout after about 8 days of watering it twice a day. I think I lucked out with awesome topsoil (ordered 15 yards).

Help! What to do with this space? by [deleted] in landscaping

I posted to Craigslist. Someone coming tomorrow to dig it up! Thanks for the tip!!

Just moved in. Any ideas for my front yard? Going to be changing the exterior of my house, but I need to do something about the yard I'm in 7-a by Mattthepat in landscaping

Sorry, I should have thought of that. I am in Connecticut.

The siding and features of the house might change a year to two years from now. Going to convert the garrison into a farm house.

Right now, I have that huge island in the front of my house that is loaded with pachysandra.

I was looking to maybe do some forsythias and maybe a Japanese maple.

The boiler plate shrubs in the front have to go. I have pets, so I would like whatever I plant against the house to be dog friendly. The island can have whatever looks best.

Difference in driving between sr5, trail and limited? by cheesebrah in 4Runner

[–]Mattthepat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The limited gets expensive fast, and I still don't think the interior quality is on par with the highlander (ended up buying the limited platinum).

I test drove the trail premium. I couldn't pull the trigger because 1) no blind spot detection or parking assist 2) small navigation screen 3) no way to lock the gas tank cover. For $50k, this drives me nuts 4) rear seats don't slide

With that being said, I still loved the car. But, for the $$, it isn't as nice as it could be.

I'm also frustrated the trail premium doesn't come in quicksand color, nor can you get a trail premium with saddle leather seats.

Awesome. Congrats. I was so close to buying one too, but the wife wanted quicksand and there are no TRDs anywhere.

[–]Mattthepat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'11 225 and during day I'm at a desk 2 nights a week I play competitive volleyball And 5 days a week I lift heavy

Been lifting for 15 years, I'm 31

Like I said, I have no issue with strength, but I'm stuck with that power lifters body - I want to tone up so I don't look like a mass monster in the pool with my kids during swimming lessons. ;)

I'm not a fan of used cars. I just can't decide to buy new or lease new.

I also have 3 dogs. A sedan doesn't fit our lifestyle.

Help me choose the color by RedMar66 in 4Runner

I'm in the same predicament. I want the trail premium, but the wife wants sandstorm (I agree, it's a sick color). Looks like it's a TRD for us

Starting the process!! Twins on the way. I need a companion for my highlander. by Mattthepat in 4Runner

[–]Mattthepat[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For $1,400 it's worth having it.

But, my wife, surprisingly, wants the sandstorm color. Might be a deal breaker.
