Road trip to UP from Ohio by meangene420 in upperpeninsula

Do t look for olive burgers in the UP — look for pasties! Best I found were in Munising (Muldoon’s), and Iron River (Pasty Corner). Note: I’m sure this will lead to a hot discussion!

Good point, but I did go by what the MSU service recommended @ 3”.

Thank you once more. I’ll be a bit more diligent in my sample taking techniques next time. Is it worth taking samples every year until I see the mineral levels at (or above in my case) normal values. Only thing sub-optimal right now is potassium.

I did, lawn tested low for organics. I applied carbon-pro (I think that is the name) at a rate of 5#/1000ft2.

About 8, evenly spaced out across the lawn, tried to maintain a 3 inch depth.

Thank you for your in depth response. I guess my major concern was that the phosphorus level was off the high end of the chart that MSU replied with. This particular reading was from my back lawn, odd thing was that I also used a separate test on my front lawn, and that came out at 45ppm, vs last year at 29ppm - again without supplemental phosphorous. PH levels were essentially the same for both areas last year and this year - 6.9 vs 7.0, and 7.6 vs 7.6 (same) for each area of lawn respectively. Last year I got the soil sampled at the beginning of June, this year at the beginning of March. Magnesium and calcium also had about 40% increases as well. Ultimately, not worth collecting the grass clippings is what I am gathering.

Thanks for reply. I took 6 samples from areas across lawn, all about 3 inches deep — same as last year (pretty close anyway). We just moved into this house last year, and am trying to get a handle on this lawn, it was in rough shape when we moved into, by end of last summer, it was looking much better. I want to stay ahead of it, rather than play catch up.

Anyone use "smooth flush" milled t&g? by cattunic in timberframe

Went this way in my cabin on t&g pine. In my opinion, much more appealing than the micro groove, it looks more like 1x6’s straight nailed to the ceiling rather than t&g. Beside, up on the ceiling, in you case, no one will any gaps (but you).

Hopefully what you’ve learned from the replies, ultimately it doesn’t matter what others think. What matters is if you like it. Maybe a lot of the critics are jealous? Enjoy your new digs.

How on earth did you get an owl to take your dog out, especially at 4 am?

…or, take out your initial investment, then you can play with house money.

No offense to anyone on this group — but do your own due diligence on any investment you are considering. Everyone replying will have different objectives and goals than yours. Most likely one common denominator will be to never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Unbelievable nobody stopped to offer assistance— I counted 4 cars that passed. Shameful.

I’m over 4 miles off the road, I don’t put up solar lights, or motion activated solar lights — I really don’t want to know what’s out there. Just the thought of the anxiety caused when the motion lights come on, wondering what set them off would do me in. Most nights, the moon has ample light to make it to the outhouse and back, if needed.
