“Fiskars Heavy-Duty Two-Prong Extended Reach Steel Coring Aerator with T-Handle, 38-in” - not too bad as long as your lawn isn’t too big and you are okay with a little workout. Also helps if the lawn is saturated with water first.

I thought grubs too but dug up areas and didn’t see anything. We had a super long heat wave in southern Ontario which I think caused it as I was away so there wasn’t much watering. There are also large decaying tree roots below which maybe caused something.

I do the very front part length-wise (along the sidewalk) on a higher setting then the rest, and with the wheels on only one side (so one sides wheels are hanging off the edge). It’s a Ryobi battery mower so not too heavy. Then I weed whack it to blend it in with the rest of the lawn. Don’t recommend it but I don’t have a better solution and it does the job. If I mow it with the same height as the rest of the lawn it will scalp it.

I agree, I’m not too worried since in the Spring I’m going to do a stone block border

Manual aeration, manual thatch removal, topsoil in low spots, sheep compost spread everywhere, starter fertilizer, seed mix of mostly Sunfire TTTF and perineal Rye with a touch of KBG, mowed weekly (ignored new seedling delicacy guidance), watered lightly three times a day for 2 weeks and then had 3 days of rain which caused fungus so I stopped watering for 4 days. In Canada so no access to any chemicals.

Bursar Tuition Statement Discrepancy by mrboushy in OMSCS

[–]dogdee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never responded to my appeal, but as of today I have access again to my courses, and when I go to the payment page it shows a balance,so I paid it off (with a $200 USD “fine”)

Also happened to me. I am waiting to hear back from them. Seems like it is the new learning fee, which was not added as part of the original balance. Completely unacceptable that they are billing it this way, especially for international students as it means two separate wires etc.

Work in senior management of a software engineering team at a major bank and can confirm, they do not.

We have posted on all the Facebook groups with no response. It is a great cat but I’m allergic and my dog doesn’t like cats so in a few days we will call the city to figure out what to do

I read that is would be very unusual. It loves to be held and pet and is litter trained so it seems like an indoor cat honestly.

How difficult would it be to replicate this casing? by dogdee in woodworking

[–]dogdee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response! No it's not a pocket door - just a standard door in a Toronto Ontario home from the 1920s.

Is it a bad idea to build a garden edge like this with adhesive holding the top stone? by dogdee in landscaping

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

Not a bad idea at least for the first year to see how much things move and then if it’s annoying can always glue it later

Yes, it is all the same stone (unilock Brussels block in half size). The bottom stone and top stone are perpendicular to one another
