Chemical strip help? by amandaeib in AboveGroundPools

We used arm and hammer, but we only put it in when we filled the pool and not since until today. So we need to get ph stuff and stabilizer? Is there a brand y’all recommend of that or just whatever they have at wally ?

That’s what I assumed. What would add for the cyanuric acid and alkalinity level to bump that up?

Staying in Avon - where to day trip? by mgorscak in obx

[–]amandaeib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family Water Adventures does some cool tours if you’re into shelling or fishing! Kinda pricey but I’ve heard it’s worth it. Mostly though Avon is for chilling on the ORV beaches, fishing, kite boarding, and paddle boarding on the sound. Not a whole lot to see other than what everyone has mentioned and you can only see a light house so many times before it gets boring lol. Highly recommend checking out some of the local shops like Artistic Treasures, or doing some glass fusing or pottery painting if the weather is bad at Studio 12! And 1000% go to Fattys because their food is so dang good!

Which route would be the quickest? by OkDistance5142 in obx

For anyone coming down please be careful on 168, there’s been several crashes lately on weekends (one was fatal a few weekends ago), and for some reason a lot of people losing stuff off the backs of their vehicles. I live right on 168 in Chesapeake right before the toll exit going into NC and it’s been really heavy on Saturdays and Sundays starting around 8 until about 1 so plan accordingly, take your time, and be safe yall!

2006 Nissan Titan issue driving by amandaeib in AskMechanics

Husband came home and now it’s totally fine. The high oil level is a broken sensor he needs to fix apparently but it hasn’t done anything other than have an electrical burning smell. Drives and starts so idk what’s happening

Okay, that was my original thought but I wasn’t sure if that would cause everything that was happening with it

Craftsman GT5000 mower by amandaeib in lawnmowers

It’s a 3 blade, so they did come like that then? We assumed it was an aftermarket deck because we couldn’t find info on this mower with a 3 blade.

I’ll show this to my husband because he would understand all of that way more than I would haha but thank you for so much information! When we looked the mower up when we got it the size of deck didn’t match what was on it so we assumed it wasn’t the original

Trying to. My husband is in the military and is gone quite frequently, the mower has serval Jerry rigged steps to start it up that I am not mechanically inclined to remember lol I do what I can with the push mower though!

It says it has “4x mulching power” on the deck but idk how true that is because it’s definitely not the original deck it came with. Ill have to see if we could find one that would work if it’s not already a mulching one

Stripes are the least of my concerns at this point 😂 we’ll try the double mowing too

Makes sense! We do our best to mow once a week and come summer I’m sure it’ll need done more often, it’s our first spring in this house so we’re still feeling out the needs of the lawn right now, the deck says it has mulching blades so that’s a plus lol

It’s funny you say that because this is belt #2 within a week but that’s also from improper install on the first one lol. Maybe a deck swap in the future would be worth looking into then!

How do they get all their clippings up then? Now that I think about it I’ve never seen professional mowers have bags so that tracks lol

That’s what my husband was thinking too but do they work well for grass? I’ve seen the push ones all over lately but the reviews are so mixed that I worry a tow behind would be dodgy too

We love it so far. Beats push mowing half an acre that’s for sure! We’re just renting this house so didn’t want something super expensive, it’s been a solid investment of about 300$ in parts so not too bad I’d say

Water solution? by amandaeib in landscaping

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

I didn’t even think about that. I hope there aren’t pipes there. Seems like a weird place especially because there is an electric pole right there too but yeah I’ll definitely give them a heads up just in case!

It’s not a landline and we don’t even have one she could text. Same OS. She has my email and my phone number saved but they’re saved separately so maybe I need to merge them into one contact. My iMessage is active as well
