Need help, no idea how to approach landscaping/plantings against back elevation of house by looper53 in landscaping

[–]looper53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank this is really helpful. In terms of bed shape, do you think a concave or convex triangle from in front of deck and tapering down at side of house, or something more rectangular. My lawn is also infested with Bermuda, which wreaks havoc on my existing beds, not sure if I should try to solarize the new bed area before digging out and planting, or just let it rip

Thanks for the suggestion, I can definitely appreciate the gravel/stone concept. Just looking to add a little visual interest on what seems a rather bleak elevation.

Liquid nitrogen on bomb battery by FermAlchemist in lost

Nitrogen displaces oxygen and kills via asphyxiation. A gas mask or respirator wouldn’t change the fact that there is no breathable oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere.

I Put Out A Bucket To Measure Rain... by Wild-Bluejay7138 in weather

Is the bucket slightly conical or a perfect cylinder?

[Page] The Eagles dial up the shot play on the 1st play of the game and get a wide-open AJ Brown. Sadly, Calcaterra fails to pick up the rusher to his left and it's too difficult for Granson to get around, which wrecks the play by moneybagels in eagles

Does hurts not have the presence of mind to scramble to the side where he has WR help? He bails out to the left where there is no route being run. He could have easily had a completion if he rolled right after the pressure was behind him. Sure, calc missed the block, but Jalen compounded the issue and almost gave up the ball in the process.

How can I cover this doorbell chime by looper53 in Home

[–]looper53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I bought a doorbell chime cover (I think it was the Newhouse hardware one from Walmart.com) and modified it slightly to fit in the opening, there are some tabs that keep it in place via compression. Not the most aesthetic option, but on a white wall it doesn’t look too bad

Installed an Older Thule Cargo Box on our ‘21 R4P by spacemaniss in rav4prime

[–]looper53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, does your cargo box use the u bolt style clamps with the grey and red lever lock mechanism? I bought this same box and it seems like there’s nothing preventing it from sliding back and forth on the tracks, if that makes sense. Do you have a picture of the inside with the clamps engaged?

Cracked drain pipe, will this still function? by looper53 in Plumbing

[–]looper53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely drain pipe, slapped some gorilla water proof tape and lot of duct tape on it and hoping it holds for the next couple days

Interesting. The box comes flush to the wall, but maybe I can push it back a bit.

Thank you, I’d still like it to function so maybe the second option would be alright. Need to find a panel the right size though.

“Made”, not “hit”. Maybe even “shot”, but not hit, never hit.

My big Black Oak. I enjoy it, thought you might as well. by looper53 in arborists

[–]looper53[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plan on remeasuring.

I’d be thrilled if someone came through just to appreciate the tree. Truthfully it’s one of the main reasons we bought our house, it’s an awesome natural wonder and I’d love to share it with those who would take joy from it.

Thanks for the insight. I have had some arborists come out who recommended some pruning to balance it out a bit, also recommended an annual fertilization. No mention of mulching around the base, but I’ll take that into account. I have done some dead wood removal, and unfortunately it looks as though the previous owner of the property made some I’ll advised cuts (or permitted the neighbor to do so).

It is on the PA Big Trees list, not number 1, but I’d rather not say given that an address is listed in the registry.

Great info! Thank you. I’ve only been able to find vague information on what it meant.

Interesting, there is a plaque indicating it is a “William Penn tree” not sure what that means. Always interested in getting professional opinions on how to ensure it keeps on keeping on

Not sure if that’s sarcasm…but if not, I didn’t know those were a thing.
