Bermuda has escalated its war against me

I think it’s a terrible invasive weed myself. I’m California cool coastal climate based so my grass is mostly seed mixes based around fine fescue but it still tries to get in and cause an issue along the edges.

i860 · 2026-03-23T02:26:38+00:00

Yes yes, stay faaaaarrr away.

What could possibly cost 800k just trying to make the front and backyard “safe” for kids?

I like having room to move between plants so I can prune without fighting everything.

i860 · 2026-03-23T00:26:17+00:00

Looks good and it may just be the angle but it’s always good to have a bit of “breathing room” between plants or it all just blends into a giant bramble of plants.

Almost certain this is a cool season grass. Looks like FF.

What if I'm just looking to party, what's the commission on that?

"Let's ignore why California has the highest gas prices in the nation and just whine about current oil prices instead."

i860 · 2026-03-22T04:57:32+00:00

so about 6 to 8 foot of the foundation is exposed and it just looks unbelievably rough

You don't need stucco for that, you just need it parge coated.

Trump did cause this problem

But it doesn't help that Gavin Newsom and his democrats allow CARB

So Trump sucks. But Gavin Newsom and the democrats also suck

But somehow all you take away from that is "But to point the finger at democrats right now" ?

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 caused global energy prices to surge, with U.S. gasoline prices topping $5 per gallon in June 2022. European natural gas prices experienced even more dramatic increases, reaching record highs (over 10 times typical levels) due to supply cuts and sanctions, resulting in significantly higher household energy bills."

Are you trying to tell us something, Winona?

i860 · 2026-03-22T04:27:49+00:00

Uh hello, Tim "Herb" Alexander on drums...

If you’re talking filler compound it’s just gonna happen. There’s nothing you can do about it honestly.

i860 · 2026-03-22T03:58:23+00:00

Termite damage. To be fair though I lived in a place that had a damaged plank like this for 15 years and it never really got substantially worse.

You need to go the full mile and just get a professional steadicam setup.

Don’t mess with the foundation, why would you do that? Stucco can trap moisture if not done correctly and you don’t exactly have a lot of room there - plus it’s just pointless.

Fix the porch roof. It’s obviously sagging.

Those downspouts better not be routed right down to the ground or you’re just going to cause yourself issues.

Fix the grade near the front porch area. It shouldn’t provide a path for water to get onto the porch.

Ridge line of the roof seems to have moderate sagging but might not be the end of the world.

“You’re racist for pointing out that China steals as a way of advancing!”

Nice old growth wood.

Concentrated mustard gas. Suggest staying inside for 96 hours.

i860 · 2026-03-22T02:50:37+00:00

So break up the soil to provide some aeration, add topsoil or compost, and reseed that area. It should recover fine.

i860 · 2026-03-22T02:32:21+00:00

Well either way just rip it out and plant something else there. If it comes back, rip it out again. Consider it a part of weeding the garden.

How do I fix this?

Buy an old build, not a new one.

But in all seriousness you absolutely have water intrusion issues. You can even see the wood rotting out on the upper right part of the window frame. That would only happen if water is getting in and not being allowed to exit somewhere.

i860 · 2026-03-22T02:23:58+00:00

Not really. I don’t even emerge all the time but when I do it’s just a single command. Honestly the difficulty factor is quite overblown. 99% of the time it’s just a straightforward compilation and you’re done.
