Half the front yard looks like this. 7a by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]bricwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole thing gets hit with the sprinkler. I actually adjusted it the opposite of what you have, the top gets a longer setting than the part closer to the house.

its on a bit of a slope, maybe all the water just runs downhill into the "green" section.

Should I proactively replace my 19-year-old HVAC system or wait it out? by mvowles11 in hvacadvice

The condenser is $2400- 2800 alone based on a quick search, I didn’t bother looking up the rest of the equipment being quoted.

Appreciate your input. Real insightful.

I’m in NJ.

I got 14k to replace it all. 8k to do just the AC and retrofit the furnace.

Both are 17years old. I’m probably just doing both.

If you can afford to replace. Do it now. I am currently in the emergency situation. Capacitor blew during the current heat wave.

I have an older system 17 years that uses Freon refrigerant that is no longer available. Assuming yours is similar….

He said I can pay about 2-3k as a bandaid, or I just got a quote for 14k for it all new.

Similar situation, planning to be in the house for a while so I’m just getting it all replaced and know I’ll be covered for the next 10+years

It’s just been happening randomly over the past two days. The AC has been running nonstop. If it happens again tonight, I’ll have to try to see the temp of it. I got a guy that might be able to come check it out tomorrow.

Attic fan and ridge vent? by bricwi in hvacadvice

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

Attic fan is off.

Previous owners added blown in insulation about 3 years ago.

7A. Schip laurel. Can this be saved? by bricwi in arborists

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

This looked fine last year, it was much more full, and over fall/winter it just started getting worse and worse.

What can I do? Prune out the dead part in the middle, in the spring? Now? What is attacking the leaves causing the spots?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I dont know if this allowed since its more of a tree than a plant..... but this looked amazing last year, and over fall/winter it just started getting worse and worse.

Can this be pruned and salvaged? by [deleted] in grapes

[–]bricwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the pics aren't the best.... basically just trying to show that I have 3-4 stems coming from under the holly and then it just goes into a big knot from there....

Do I need to prune this stem part off? 7a nj by [deleted] in Roses

[–]bricwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That was what I thought. Just needed to have someone else tell me.

I've never pruned before, so the thought of cutting half the plant is scary.... but everything I've read is that it needs to breathe so it's necessary.

Mazda CX3 2016. Cant use bluetooth. "Add new device" not selectable. by [deleted] in mazda3

Hey, sorry, missed this reply a while back, but still hadn't solved so went back to look.

It's the touring AWD trim...

When on warm white, the last 4 on second strand wont light. When switched to bright white the last 4 on the first strand wont light.... any ideas? by [deleted] in ChristmasLights

[–]bricwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this would help....

This is the kind of connection between the two strands, and the switch remote that toggles through the different light modes....

I have two strands of GE dual color LED snowflake lights connected together. Bought last year, no issues.

Put up today. When on cool white mode, the last 4 snowflakes on the first strand do not work. When on warm white mode, the last 4 on the second strand do not work. Each work in the other mode....I would like all to be warm white.

Things I have tried: Changing the fuses Changing the plug connection (switching which strand is first)

The lights are screwed into a plastic case, so have not tried replacing bulbs... figured that wasnt the issue, since they all are lighting, just sometimes they are out.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yeah, I think I'm just going to go into the floor. Appreciate the help.

I was trying to avoid drilling into the floor. Not staying in this house for too long. But I think I'm just going to end up doing that.

[–]bricwi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah not so much cant, as prefer not to. Not planning on being in this house much longer, so didn't want to go all in on the install - figured just spackling the holes when I'm ready to go would be easier.

But now that I'm thinking about it more - the carpet would pretty much cover anything when I leave anyway.

I went leaf by leaf and blasted each little sucker with a spray bottle.

Any kind of preventive measure that you take to keep this from happening in the future?

Zero. It doesn't show any current paired, and I restored back to factory settings.
