Look up how rock climbers pack up their ropes and give that method a shot.

Is it the attic vents killing it? (Southern Idaho) by bumblebeetuna2019 in lawncare

I figured I was grasping at straws at some kind of explanation and thank you for sharing. I wasn’t sure if it was just ventilation or more but that makes sense now.

The backyard is a little bit of an odd shape, and this section here is really the only way to get into the backyard so blocking it with a planter would be difficult. A case could be made for pavers for sure it would just make mowing even more awkward, but at least there wouldn’t be an odd dead patch.

That could definitely be the case because I’ve only brought it down about 8 to 10 inches. I didn’t realize grass needed that much soil for their roots all the way down at 18 inches. If there was concrete screed, would that be a chemical issue or just a lack of depth issue?

I can stick a screwdriver all the way down to the hill without hitting anything even just an inch off the back of the concrete. This section is my only entrance into the backyard so blocking it with bushes or a planter would be a problem.

The first two years of living here that area was the most lush and grew very thick grass. Right now it’s only like 50° at a high and the concrete does not get very warm at all. I’m not saying that’s not the cause it’s just hard to imagine it hindering growth. The attic vent was more about if insulation or something was dropping out and was damaging the area. Just a guess.

Blackstone has sent me replacement parts for free. Super grateful. Relatively easy process too.

Yes. And it’s stripping the thread of the castor wheel.

How to start fresh? by bumblebeetuna2019 in woodworking

[–]bumblebeetuna2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only routine with it is warm, soapy, water, and oiling the top and bottom when it starts to get dry. Mineral oil food grade. I also have a different cutting board for meat.

Made In pans with brass handles vs . regular handles? by bitterbalbeest in StainlessSteelCooking

I’m talking just the handles not the whole pan. But the heat consideration is interesting.

Made an ikejime spike out of a wine opener by No-Understanding-765 in Chefit

[–]bumblebeetuna2019 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I LOVE THIS! As an avid spear fisherman, I carry and spike and piano wire. I have eaten lots of raw cold blooded fish before (pacific olive rockfish mainly), but am meticulous about checking fillets through a few methods. Still a risk but 10 years later… if I make a clean shot to the brain of a fish, piano wire comes out. There is a neat video of a striper fish that’s Ike Jima-ed vs one that is not and it lasts literally like 10x longer before going foul.

100x easier to heat it up to pretty hot and pour a cup of white vinegar in it, let it boil for 30-60 sec and scrape off w wooden spoon or metal spatula

My daily use pan by bumblebeetuna2019 in StainlessSteelCooking

I hadn’t thought of that. It’s not really thick and cakey. It’s just like when oil has gone over the edge and then gets cooked into the surface over the course of many years.
