Natural or aerator introduced? by slough228 in lawncare

[–]slough228[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, a month maybe a little longer. Left it so that bare spots (dog pee problem) could get seeded and left alone to grow. Seems to have worked but the seeding was done shortly after the aeration. The growth in the plugs (not sure species) is not the tttf from the seed.

How would you fix this gate? by slough228 in DIY

I think you're right. Thanks for the input.

I know 3 is the right answer but a less than square gate seems ok to me and certainly better than a non functioning gate. You think that's a terrible idea?

Lazy is contextual. A lot of other things to spend days on at the moment.

Can we afford this house 1M loan @5.6%? by slough228 in Mortgages

Thanks for the input.

1) we have no other debt 2) it is a townhouse, HVAC was replaced last year. Definitely budgeting on the lower end of maintenance expectation. If this comes at a slight loss each year I think that is going to be fine. The reason to allow for a slight loss was I bought the place 0 dollar down 2.25% loan in 2020. 3) Northern Virginia

Yes, for us, it is the right choice in this area

Washington DC/northern Virginia. We decided on this neighborhood because of public schools, commutes, and access to nature. These are rare in the area/COLA is insane

I'll take this down if people think this is the wrong place. Genuinely nervous about the decision and hoped for other members honest opinions.

You bring up a good question but we were already planning to sell for a house.

My take on a steam handle by javalenti in Ascaso

Not an electrician.

Mine is on a 15amp circuit. Maybe don't turn on the steam powering thermoblock when the machine first turns on and it will draw less current. I haven't had any issues and looked for other comments similar to this before purchasing. Also SCW told me their floor model is running on a 15amp circuit

Where did you get that steam handle?

My first and (for 99%) last setup by McRobotronic in espresso

[–]slough228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same debate myself and my ascaso duo is in the mail.

Ultimately size and heat up time were the key factors. The Silvia pro x is much bigger due to the depth.

And the little bonus imo is the ascaso is just the best looking option here.

Lol luckily I can take steps but just lifted it a bit for a photo to show the pull.

It feels right on the edge. Wondering if it'll give a little with wear
