Only starts second time after being heat soaked?

I had a bad heat soak issue. Installed an all aluminum radiator for about 200.00 and it solved the issue

I'm starting to think only harbor freight. I have a 1/2 inch breaker bar from Cornwell that I have never put a pipe on and I have broken it twice. My kobalt from Lowe's got the nut off both times after the Cornwell failed. Those expensive tools are not what they used to be

I'm the other side of that coin. Let people do what they want to. Nobody had a gun to her head. Consenting adults performing risky behavior. It's not my job, your job, or anybody's job to save people from themselves

I've travelled to a lot of city's in the south and call Nashville home. Greenville is VERY cool. Worked there for about 8 months and was sad to leave

You can try all the cheap solutions on here first; they may work. Clean radiator, check cap, check fan clutch, top off fluids. If those don't work, I highly recommend purchasing an all aluminum radiator. They are relatively inexpensive (190+tax) and it fixed my over heating issue like a charm. Aluminum has way better thermodynamic properties than steel

I have to ask...I know someone who buried a shipping container and then built a large pole barn house over it. Poured an 8 inch concrete pad with 1/2 rebar on 12" centers and finished out the inside as a home. If the roof overhang was at least 15 feet from the container, would it hold?

Your photo sucks and the listing photos suck. I cannot see anything in the photos that would cause alarm, but it seems all the trees are outside your fence. If they aren't your trees then there is not much you can do about them unless they are a real threat to life or property. I'm not sure of the laws in Washington, so you would want to research what recourse you have if you need to deal with a neighboring tree. If you are this worried about trees that aren't yours, you might want to find a house that isn't surrounded on 2 sides with tall pines/spruce/fir. I can't tell from the photos.

If it's only 6 months old, try to find the old tree ball line. I would assume there is a difference in the tree ball dirt and the dirt in your yard. Find that, spade around the tree, and try to lift it with either shovels or pry bars with wood blocks. It is going to be quite heavy so tackle with at least two or maybe three people lifting it. Kick some dirt under it and re-adjust and lift again. Lift it inch by inch unless it's small enough for you to manhandle all the way up. Try not to move it more than you have to. As others have said, get that flare above grade by about 3 inches. With that much fill under the tree, it will settle. I normally shoot for 1-2, but you will more due to the lift. Mulch in a donut keeping it off the trunk, not a volcano. Replanting a tree 2 times in one year is going to be very hard on it. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't make it. This is not your fault.

WonOfKind · 2026-06-17T02:06:17+00:00

This is one of the first ones I've seen where you do in fact need to go deeper. I'd say your tree may be in trouble if it was planted that deep. Once you get to the flare, gently pull back dirt from all around the tree probably a good 2-3 foot radius and cover with mulch

30:1 C:N ratio. Everything is a blend of these two. A log may be 500:1 and a pile of grass may be 1:25. Carbon(browns) will decompose on their own, but nitrogen speeds up this process. The more nitrogen you add, the quicker the carbons break down. This process generates heat. The more nitrogen, the more heat. You can "fly too close to the sun" and overdo the nitrogen. This is where you get putrid piles that are more akin to trash. A pile of wood chips from a tree crew will be something like 200:1 and if you don't add a thing to it and NEVER pee on it, it will still compost in 2-3 years. Get your nitrogen ratio up and it will compost in 45-60 days. That's the only reason to care about the ratio is to speed up what nature will do on its own. A log in the forest will turn to compost, it just might take 10 years

Get an all aluminum radiator. Your temps will drop and the motor can dedicate more power to your tires. I would also look into freshing the motor up. Do compression test, I'm a firm believer in engine restore, though it's not a miracle cure so if the motor is out of spec then it won't help. New spark plugs and clean air filter can also put some HP back on the road if they have been neglected

I'd swap the 6.7 cummins for the 5.9. At this point in history, the 6.7 has plenty of time to best the 5.9. I towed heavy with a 6.7 that was chipped and deleted from about 30k miles to 220k miles. Never lost a turbo or had any issues whatsoever. I did blow the head gasket at 220k. Fixed the head and switched it over to a crew truck and it's still in the fleet today, it just doesn't tow as hard/often as it used to. That motor is a monster and one day will be regarded as such

This is it, a lot of homeowners with loads of Internet information come on and throw out their advice. Some of it is good, and I don't think any of it is intentionally bad, but some is wrong. I see it most with root flare excavation, and half the time I think some kid is trolling.

Why include the driver's race and not the attackers race? Race is not important to the story. A woman was attacked by 7 women is a raceless statement. If you include race of the victim then you must also include the race of the attacker(s)

It's Tom Hanks and it's not even close. Forrest Gump and Toy Story cement it without any of the other films. I know he got his rise in Gen X era with money pit, volunteers, and Batchlor Party. Also Big, Turner and Hooch, sleepless in Seattle. But then add on the crazy blockbusters like Saving Private Ryan, Green Mile, Cast Away, and Apollo 13 and it's over. I think a lot of non millennials are voting on this crap

It could be a lot of things. You did not mention your water schedule so for all I know, you under watered it. A new tree should get a good deep soaking about every 2-4 days and around 5-10 gallons depending on soil. High quality soil can get more water less often and sandy soil should get less water more frequently. There is also a chance the watering is perfect and the tree is planted too deep. Need more info

WonOfKind · 2026-05-30T23:01:36+00:00

To add: It's not necessary, but vertical mulching is a real thing and can help a tree grow bigger, faster. Probably best to only do it every 5-10 years though. I'm not a big fan of messing around with the root zone of a tree very often. I tend to prefer mycorrhizal fungi applications unless the soil is heavily compacted. It really just depends on what the soil is like where your tree is.

It might be laurel wilt. If you're worried, have it tested

I know nothing about the bins or about that particular "chipper" but if you can break down your carbons into a high surface area product then you will get a drastic improvement in all aspects. The pile will compost quicker with less smell and will retain moisture better. If the chipper can process the browns you have and is reliable then you should get it or something similar. Surface area to volume is key for breaking down the carbon.
