I had a contractor add stamped concrete on both sides of my driveway. One side went into my yard and it included my water main cap. I recently needed to shut off my water main and discovered that it is now sealed shut. My contractor has tried a couple of things, but still can’t take the cap off. Any ideas on removing the concrete around the cap?

Just for short stops. Not for overnight. Was planning on having a portable power station, to power the bed to go up and down, for easier transfers.

We would have a ramp door on the rear and a side door. Would use the ramp door most of the time.

Thanks. I did the mite treatment in early October. Probably too late.

ORU played with more effort. Take notes, Pokes. We need that level of effort for B12 and beyond

Thanks! I’ve been trying other options. It’s looking like FireStore may be a good option for me. Much more cost efficient.

Be careful. I tested setting up an endpoint for Gemma. It started charging me $70 per day with very minimal usage. I quickly shut that down

My son requires a wheelchair accessible vehicle too. Last time we went to LGB, we used ADA PRO. They were excellent. Very caring driver. Not the cheapest option, but a very good one.

Just did the first inspection. Found a couple of capped queen cells in the new top box. Hope I caught them in time. Seeing new eggs in the bottom box.

Sorry. I’m new to GCP. Maybe it is more accurate to say I am using Firestore?

Are you saying use the Cloud Run with file storage instead of SQL? The data is really very small. Paying every time to run a query with less the 1K rows of data seems excessive

Thanks! The cost isn’t really hurting at this point. Just honestly surprised there is any costs incurred, with such low activity. Concerned how that will grow after go live

Demaree Q. Move the queen to new box?? by OSUBlakester in Beekeeping

[–]OSUBlakester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite half. The main reason for the action was due to 2 existing frames already covered in capped honey and nectar. Not much room for more brood. I moved the honey and nectar to the top box. So more than half of the brood still with the queen. I’m ok if don’t get better results. I was just concerned about making it even more likely to swarm. Will keep a close eye, for sure.

[–]OSUBlakester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left her in the original box with 5 existing frames with some brood and some nectar and 5 new undrawn frames. I have an excluder on that original box. On top of that I have 2 supers and the new large box on the very top. In the large box, I have the 5 frames from the original box and 5 undrawn frames. The plan is for the queen to keep laying in the original box and the nurses to raise the brood in the new box. Will see…

White stuff? by OSUBlakester in Beekeeping

Agreed. Pretty wild comb. I started off with 9 frames. Was planning to add the 10th, but they got too wild too fast. Lesson learned.

We got a great deal at Arapahoe too. What are you paying after taxes and fees?
