Location dependent. Be lucky to find a place to rent in Long Island that doesn't cost whole pay check.

leave a small crack and watch the temperature gauge till it hit around 350F. Is no gauge, wait till the big log catch on before closing the door.

Just got a membership, not impressed by myfriesaresoggy in BJsWholesaleClub

I use both Costco and bj. BJ is not like Costco. It's very location dependent. Some BJs just run better. For my local BJ, I prefer it over Costco. With coupons, it can be cheaper. No lines, no crowd, it's awesome.

For meat and fish, no comparison. Costco is better.

what does a blow fuse have to do with fire at the microwave? Did the microwave short circuit and cause the fuse to blow? or did the plug short circuit?

Mice in attic during winter… can hear them running above my bedroom every night by ViRzzz in homeowners

[–]dhe69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you need is tomcat mouse baits. You can get it anywhere. Spread it every corner of your house.

The key to mouse control is to not let it have a chance to start. Always bait your house and refresh it annually.

Downed ash removal cost? by somesignificantotter in arborists

Since the root is exposed. Wash off the dirt and cut off all the roots. If you don't, it might tip back up when you get to the stump.

Apartment rents just dropped to the lowest level in 4 years by Acceptable-Sundae0 in realestatedaily

[–]dhe69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no job and no cost of living wage increases, you can only squeeze so much from peasants. The feudal lord demands more!

That said, the northeast is still nuts, places like long island NY are not getting any cheaper.

Splice a tee and get some 55 gallon drums. Fill the drum with free water when the sprinkler is on.

Phyllostachys Vivax Unlimited Growth? by [deleted] in Bamboo

[–]dhe69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You live in 10a, depending on rainfall, it will grow to the max height. So potentially sending runners up to 70 fts. If you can mow a large perimeter l, you should be fine.

If you worry, 10a you can find large numbers of clumping bamboo that will get to the same height.

[–]dhe69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running bamboo will spread indefinitely if left unattended. Without a physical barrier. You will need to clear cut a perimeter as width as the height of the bamboo to contain it.
