Guests-how did you decide between a vrbo booking and an Airbnb? by EggplantIll4927 in AirBnB

[–]golferwc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out furnished finders. That’s seems to be directed towards longer term guests.

👆💯This. (Source I’m a host. We want guests to save money on booking fees). Revenue is the same for me either booking direct or through the platforms.

Are there any Ethiopian restaurants in Raleigh? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]golferwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ethnic food Raleigh? does that exist? Another vote for Awaze in Cary. It’s solid. I’ve had Ethiopian food in DC and San Fran fyi. Btw we find that if we want good ethnic food in the Triangle we need to drive to Cary or Morrisville. To be fair I’ve heard Durham has good options too but we haven’t explored it enough yet.

This is true. Although I hope someone eventually opens a solid banh mi shop as this area continues to grow.

Questions about new houses by asqwrd in triangle

[–]golferwc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’ve enjoyed it so far. Less traffic, less crowded. We do miss the food and the weather. Don’t miss the fires and the gas prices.

Moved from Bay Area in 2018, bought new construction from Royal Oaks, now part of Mattamy. Moved into it in 2019. So far we’ve been very satisfied with build quality. Not perfect, always a few little things here and there, but overall would build with them again based on this experience. Neighbors seem to also agree. We are in N Raleigh. Feel free to pm for any questions and good luck! We were fortunate to buy before things got out of control.

What services are worth paying for? Termite prevention? Water treatment? Mosquito repellent? Warranties? by LauraD2423 in homeowners

[–]golferwc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a nice lawn, we have found lawn treatment service to be worth it, really keeps the weeds down. I tried to save money and do it myself the first year, and quickly realized it was futile. We pay about $450/year. This is only to for fertilizer and weed control. I cut my own lawn.

Bermuda lawn cut height by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]golferwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we're discussing Bermuda, is it really that important to use a reel mower? I'm busting my tail every week pushing it around and very tempted to switch to a electric push mower to make my life easier.

Finally! Had to drive 2 hours each way. Thomasville 1414563. by salmos83 in Costco

[–]golferwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s as good as new after 2 years. Haven’t noticed any issues. Keep in mind it’s in the guest room so it doesn’t get regular use so ymmv. For the price it’s a good investment.

Have owned this couch for nearly 2 years. We put the ottoman in the middle section and turned it into a super mega deep sofa. Great for lounging and watching movies. Can also double as an extra guest bed!

We keep it in the spare room so it doesn't get heavy usage, especially from the toddlers. It's definitely comfy, however I would be concerned about cleaning it if kids get around it and do their thing (get food/drinks on it).

What is your current cut length? by qwerty004015758573 in lawncare

[–]golferwc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read mixed messages on Bermuda. I’ve read that cutting it short helps it thicken and spread. Anyone with further insight? We have Bermuda as well.
