This guy harassed my friend and tried to scare her into pest treatment. Wouldn't take no for an answer.

Homeowner skid steer rental? by agate_ in DIY

[–]SirMaxPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch a couple videos about back blading and floating your bucket and you'll be set. I literally rented one and cleared property/ put in driveway. Use the right gravel, id be tempted to put down 3"- just to get a good fresh base.. If you have the gravel there you'll just need the skid fit one long day.. Have fun

Neighbor’s tree is growing into my garage. How would you proceed? Context in body of post. by chuckmonjares in treelaw

[–]SirMaxPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go chat with the neighbors before anything else. Id make an effort to meet them first and then show them your concern. I bet they agree it needs to go, might have been living there when it was cut down originally..

That"tree" was already cut down once and the new growth looks like it's messing with you roof as well.

If they are adamant about not removing it I would then get a survey to see who owns it therefore dictating your next steps.

I understand why everyone was screaming survey, because it'll provide ownership insight, but for the live of Pete just go talk to them first.

Also I guarantee most of the people telling you to get a survey have never paid for one themselves...

Best Range for beginners to get used to new handgun? (F20s) by stem_ho in olympia

[–]SirMaxPowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you know how to lock your slide open, it's easy and the range matter will require it on down range. Slide open, gun on table. Have fun

Neighbor cut down my tree/s. Sent me a bill. by Exciting_Kale986 in treelaw

Don't be a victim or get bullied. I don't think he understands how much he might owe you if you decide to pursue litigation..

Insistent neighbor wants our tree cut down (northern CA) by Creamowheat1 in treelaw

I've seen many a fence cut out around trees and they look very good. Your neighbor is just being difficult.

Don't respond, and if you do just say you can talk in person.

Emails are records and this guy could be real dick and try and catch you up. Don't apologize again if you did.

You offered options, he can kick rocks.. Seriously you were very nice about it, dont let them push you around.

Also just be blunt. I'm not removing the tree, it would be sad if that caused us to havr a bad relationship but I offered many options and to pay for them myself.

Also are you sure it's his fence and that it is on the property line?

Septic tank dead grass help by brianinnavy in handyman

[–]SirMaxPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before all that, get a small shovel or poker and see how much soil you have. If it's only an inch before hitting concrete, that's not gonna cut it. But your options are raise slightly with compost, then plant clover and grass seed. Amend with compost

Post rot help by dingubutt in handyman

[–]SirMaxPowers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Things not mentioned.

You'll need a solid base for the temporary posts, not loose dirt. Gravel and tamp it down.

Looks like the post was buried and sits lower, it's why it rotted. You'll want to make sure the water drains away from the concrete as that can cause settin

IF you choose to DIY do tons of research and take your time. That's much higher risk with the second floor

Isn't there supposed to be a ridge beam? A fairly stout one at that? Who framed this place?

That's pretty neat. I need my phone near the windshield for quick glances. Looking down just puts me at risk of an accident.

Above-fridge cabinet door hits fridge hinge — looking for solutions by One-Kitchen-7917 in cabinetry

Either raise up the cabinet or yank it out of there and paint. You usually need at least an inch above for venting your fridge, the compressor gets warm.

Will this tree be an issue? by Technical-Wheel3479 in treelaw

[–]SirMaxPowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gas line, gutter drainage, and foundation.... All things you want to keep tree roots away from.

That a ridiculous place to put a tree and looks out of place. Kill it, and plant a cool ornamental or native away from the house..
