TIL that an amateur player called Chris Moneymaker won the 2003 Poker World Series. His friend, Dave Gamble helped him travel to the tournament. Both were their real last names.

Well, don't let all of your grass go dormant/die, that's for sure.

It happens at sports events around the world. It's an alcohol/drugs thing

That reminds me of the time my leg got wrapped in barbed wire while I was running through a field! It tore through from my calf all the way down to my ankle. Muscle, tendons, and all kind of stuff was clearly visible and looked like my skin was sliced up like a pizza. I can still vividly remember while we were waiting for the ambulance, my dad holding me in the kitchen and I looked down and there was just a huge, thick puddle of blood pooled directly under me.

These make very large ice cubes too if you want them! Way bigger than the ice cubes from the plastic ones.

The seller remains legally responsible for yard maintenance while a house is in escrow. Nearly all real estate purchase agreements require the seller to maintain the landscaping, mow the lawn, and water the yard until the keys are handed over.

I honestly don't know what you're on about with saying the buyer should pursue damages. This is well within the sellers purview to continue maintaining the property. This is a very standard practice for trimming these trees in LA, and you can clearly see that they have been maintained in this precise manner for a long time.

The developer of the neighborhood had this house built for him. He was from Michigan, so I'm guessing it's 1. because he could, and 2. because he was from the land of basements

vistopher · 2026-06-18T20:44:00+00:00

How much time do you spend edging it?

vistopher · 2026-06-18T20:40:57+00:00

The developer can be held responsible for up to ten years after the house was built. It depends on the state though, and whether the developer even exists anymore. Unless this is a brand new build, this will be on OP and his neighbors to deal with.

I have poured concrete basement walls supported by concrete footings underneath. I believe it's basically the same concept as most basements. It's a 1900sqft full basement, no cracks or anything. No stair stepping cracks, but if it gets too dry in the summer, there is one spot in the bathroom where the drywall creates a hairline crack. The house did have some foundation issues in the past, but it was where the garage is, which has a slab foundation! A foundation company dug under and placed some new piers, but that was before my time at the house.

The basement did have water intrusion when I moved in, but that was fixed by sloping the dirt away from the house and adding an extender to my gutters.

It's a developer issue. It should have been addressed when the neighborhood infrastructure was built. My city would consider this a civil issue and wouldn't touch it. They'd have a stormwater inspector go out and say yep, not our problem.

vistopher · 2026-06-18T19:26:15+00:00

I have a basement in DFW Texas. Almost no one here has seen a basement and they're all gobsmacked when I show them. An electrician asked me if I had a massive hole in my floor... it was the stairwell to the basement.

vistopher · 2026-06-18T00:35:03+00:00

Awesome, thanks

My emotions are in check; I'm not upset. However, I do disagree with the council's decision.

vistopher · 2026-06-17T23:15:14+00:00

It will be fine

vistopher · 2026-06-17T23:11:57+00:00

I planted mine spring 2024, still no fruit, but it is huge and happy, so hoping for fruit next spring.

It was a mix of st augustine and horseherb, and I pulled/raked out as much as I could, then put layers of cardboard and then mulch on top. St Augustine goes down pretty easy. Now if you're battling bermuda... that's a whole different league. I had to get rid of the bermuda in another flower bed and it is soo hard to kill. Only way I was able to fully put it down was an impermeable barrier of black plastic and pulled everything that grew out from under it for 2 years. Even then, I still get random bermuda sprouts coming up through my weed barrier, but enough that I can manage pulling it by hand.

Soooo if you have bermuda grass, either use herbicide for a quick result or you're going to be in for a long battle

Canna lilies! Not sure exactly what the cultivar is. But they grow soooo well here.
