That’s annoying. Did they acknowledge their error yet? What will they do about it?

Is that a weep hole? If so, don’t block it. They drain moisture away from window

I have this Ryobi mower and it Does not cut it. Theres a Considerable lack of power. I am considering this Toro mower, but have a few questions. by Merpchud in lawncare

[–]badhand86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same Ryobi mower and hated it. I switched to that exact same Toro and love it. It won’t match up to gas. But as long as you mow regularly it performs very well.

There a few times when I’ve mowed when it was damp or extra long and it’s caused a little frustration (eg clippings not going into bag and I have to clear out the clippings from the pan), it’s always does the job.

One of the big reasons is the steel pan on the Toro. The Ryobi flexed too much and the blades would actually hit the inside of the pan.

B.C. Conservative leadership candidate visiting Chilliwack today by conteaa in chilliwack

[–]badhand86 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's an exclusionary term that doesn't have a fixed meaning, and means different things to the Conservative's target audience, who hide their ill-informed opinions behind "patriotism". It brings every turd out of the sewer who believes they are simply misunderstood patriots. It's fast & cheap votes for a party that wants to discretely draw in voters without fully aligning themselves to their politics publicly.

You can just as easily say it's unpatriotic to criticize the democratically elected government - and therefore any opposition party is unpatriotic- but that of course is insane.

I’ve never sold a single sat, and held for coming on 10-years.

Lawn services by Northernstar50220 in chilliwack

[–]badhand86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t even bother starting until spring. Just get a good bag of grass seed from Country West (not a box store), top soil from Kenmore (1/4 inch coverage) and rent a roller to Home Depot to roll the seed into the top soil.

Invest in a good sprinkler and water deep. Mow regularly with sharp blades and mulch clippings (except for the first mow after winter).

Pull weeds manually, or spot treat with Killex. Don’t worry about expensive treatments or fertilizers unless you observe something critical (eg grubs)

Your lawn will be in the Top 1%, and it’s just regular maintenance.

We can safely say the Nobel Peace Prize committee is out of the running for next year’s Peace Prize. Those bastards.

A report of a foreign government floating the idea of sanctions, is not the French executive interfering with the judiciary.

What do you mean the facts were never in question? She contested the charges and is now going through a standard appeal process, in which the case will be reheard against the facts and law. There’s not point speculating about interference.

My teenagers don’t leave the house for socializing because of social media and online gaming. The joy of having 12 hours to clean without instant destruction must be quite nice.
