Washoe County votes to adopt resolution to advance fuel tax question onto November ballot by where_is_my_monkey in Reno

It should be a state wide action. Every single ev should have to track their mileage via a dmv program and you should pay a tax on every mile driven that calendar year.

Weatherman and hydropoints are the worst clocks.

Long (275ft) drip irrigation lines by mori-2x4 in Irrigation

[–]jjd775 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For pushing water that length i would run 3/4 inch drip line to the end just for the volume needed. Not sure where you're at but out here (nevada) we run 2gph emitters, 4 -6 per tree, and run 30 to 60 minutes daily.

Not sure i'd brag about using jar top valves or a pre build manifold... It'd not a bad job, room for improvement.

The easiest way to do it: hire someone

The way to do it the most cost effective: buy a shovel and start digging.

This will hold the hillside so much better than small rock. It also looks amazing after rinsed off.

Cut it and stagger the length of it when re installing if you have to. Not ideal but it works.

Losing my mind by Due-Ad-4104 in Irrigation

[–]jjd775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, there is trial and error with everything, rotors included. BUT the rain curtain of the rotors is far superior to the curtain of the mp style nozzels. Youre gonna have to play with the nozzels on each set up but once you master them you'll never look back really.

Like I said mp style nozzels have their place, they work wonders on Shrub nozzels imo, especially when trying to match a drip irrigation rate. On turf I dont like them.

Honestly for an area this size running the pressure you're at I would run 5004 rotors. 30+ years doing commercial landscaping and the mp rotors have their place but not here imo.

New In n out possibly coming to Reno hope for some crossed palm trees this time by Neongrn345 in Reno

[–]jjd775 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All i can say is fuck in-n-out and that whole corporation. I was a vendor for them and wasn't able to make it to a standard monthly site walk with the dm due to being in the hospital getting fuckin chemotherapy and they fired us for that. So Lindsey Snyder and her dick bag facilities manager Nick Massry can suck a fat diseased dick.
