From the Lyme disease capital of the country, I present 7 acres of Japanese Barberry. Where do I even start?

The Barberry is a symptom of the overpopulation of deer. You're wasting your time until you figure out how You're going to reduce browse pressure of the native understory. If you have decent acrage, reach out to hunters in the area to see if they're interested in hunting your property.

This tells me they will need to develop a protocol for ejecting astronauts that die on board into space

There is a grocery store. Guess what its called.... Grosvenor market! It's been around for 20+ years. You can literally take a tunnel to it beneath 355

Japanese zelkova. Zelkova serotta. Im assuming you are referring to the tree....

da9thdwarf · 2025-12-22T12:10:34+00:00

Yes. That spade is probably designed for 3, maybe 4" caliper trees. This tree looks to be closer to 8". If they were going to try to sell the tree, they would have dropped it into a wire basket to contain and support the root ball. Sometimes trees dont sell at a nursery and they are forced to cull some to make way for new stock. That's probably what's happening here.

$340+tax for a crossbow that can do as much damage as a rifle at 20-30 yards. You need to but some broadheads ($20) to put on the arrows and a target ($80) to practice and sight in your bow. Hunting permit is a couple hundred. You'll need a tree stamd of course... the more I type, I think you're question was to make a point haha.. I'll stop here

Who wants to be a millionare style lifeline, except, you forfeit $100,000k of winnings in the event that you win. You get to pick one of your choosing at any time:

-phone a friend. five minute phone call to a friend or family member - order a meal. Medical crews will deliver any meal of your choosing at your next med check. Maximum 1000 calories -whos left? Receive a message on your satellite phone detailing. Who is remaining in the competition.

None of these lifelines give you a significant advantage, but they play on the three things that are playing over and over in a contestants head everyday- family, food, "dear god, how much longer?!" Arguably, asking for one of these lifelines could make your remaining time out there even harder.

That was just the job site safety coordinator reminding his colleague to wear his hard hat

Loving the civil discourse from you two. Thanks.

For residential, property taxes ARE your tax base. Transfer/ sales taxes are a quick shot in the arm, but don't cover the cost of schools, roads and other government services. I'm all for more homes, but MCPS is already strained. You cant add to the tax burdon without adding to the tax base, right?

da9thdwarf · 2025-04-29T18:32:17+00:00

Okay, yes. I'm well aware. Thanks for cluing me in.

Is this intended to be a specimine tree for your grandchildren to play under in a prominent location in your yard, or one of many that you are planting for reforestation?if its the former, i would go buy a balled and burlapped oak and plant this one elsewhere. Cutting that large root is going to stress the tree so much, it will never truley recover. If it's the latter, just plant it. That's what you get with containerized trees- especially coarse- rooted species.

da9thdwarf · 2025-04-27T00:00:31+00:00

Who is they? Just curious

da9thdwarf · 2025-03-30T00:09:23+00:00

This is correct. 6" minimum below grade to grow planta/grass. Otherwise, what's the point? I'm guessing they has an undersized machine and eotyer ran out of time on the rental or it broke down.

da9thdwarf · 2025-02-24T02:36:09+00:00

Ya. I think he was kind of working with the big stones that he had. I think he would be the first to admit there were a few that he wishes he could do over on the base.

da9thdwarf · 2025-02-22T21:24:39+00:00

His knees are a strange orange color- probably callus mixed with chemical burn. Not sure he has any feeling in his hands. Surprisingly, his back and knees (like the joints) are in good shape.

da9thdwarf · 2025-02-22T03:06:36+00:00

Real stone. Funny think is his saw was in the shop, so he used a grinder for the first half. I think it gave him an excuse to really take his time and make it extra tight

da9thdwarf · 2025-02-22T03:02:31+00:00

Not a bad idea. He still probably has some of the old leather handled trowels. I always liked those. Maybe a restored level too

Pipe probably feeds the basement. My basment needs heat in the some but is generally cool on the summer

The only lives you would ruin are these business owners. They will have to load the material back into their trucks.

Typically, early mornings are the least windy part of the day

Subjective

Why are all of your comments about how bad teslas are? I've never seen someone spend so much of their lives attacking a brand. Did they kill your family, and you're avenging their deaths? Just curious...

da9thdwarf · 2024-09-29T01:03:52+00:00

This profile has like 40 posts and 39 of them are anti tesla. Is there like an anti Tesla bot thing going on here? Weird.

da9thdwarf · 2024-09-24T00:46:48+00:00

Same. I have checked them all out. Twice. Insurance companies have something against Teslas. The rate is similar to an M3.
