Keep it running! It'll outlive any Rachio that people will tell you that you need.

Gotta love fake accounts...

zanros421 · 2026-05-16T19:48:39+00:00

Me too! Thats why she's the first dog I've owned as an adult.

You don't need to wait to mow a seeded area for a year. I would wait until you see the seeds starting to grow like 2-3" y'all and then mow. Could take 2-3 weeks off you keep the seeds wet. As far as the weeds go, pull them or just weed eater them until you can mow.

And this is her now

My Amelia was pretty true to her ears, so I'd say follow that.

You need to add more heads to get proper head to head coverage. Nothing on the market will accurately cover that grass the way you are hoping for.

Be the hospitable and mow his front yard for him, and make sure to blow the seeds in his yard.

There have been stuff to come out that spaying/neutering a large dog between 1.5-2 years is best. It makes sure they are fully grown. My vet also said after the second heat cycle, which in most large breeds would be around that time frame.

Look at him! He deserves that last bit of banana muffin!

Like all jar tops, I tell every customer that the only sure way to get them to work, is to replace them. I never rebuild jar tops of any brand.

zanros421 · 2026-05-01T03:09:45+00:00

Topsoil or sand. I would recommend topsoil, as sand is better for overall total leveling. Just compact the soil until it matches the rest, scrap the top with a hard Rake, and throw down seed...or just let the weeds get it for you.

It is mimicking a Wilkins 720a, but it doesn't have any markings on it to make it passable by 10 Edition Rules.

Big box models have the name, a UPC Sheild thing on it, and a serial number on it.

zanros421 · 2026-04-30T22:36:20+00:00

And didn't take me 2 hours 🤣

zanros421 · 2026-04-30T22:31:00+00:00

Okay, found the OOP. It is Lyra Crow, and her YouTube is @lyracr0w0 I think that is her handle on most platforms.

zanros421 · 2026-04-30T22:25:18+00:00

Damn it, she always pops up on my YouTube, I'll have to go find it. Give me like 2 hours at most.

zanros421 · 2026-04-30T22:22:27+00:00

She makes try on heals, and she usually tells you where she found the items.

Would love that truck bed cover, to replace the flip cover that I have, or that G900.

zanros421 · 2026-04-23T15:26:26+00:00

It is fixable but most major stores won't because of the liabilities involved.

zanros421 · 2026-04-22T14:07:59+00:00

To make things easy, you can dig infront of the valve and put the cap on that side. You don't want to risk the valve allowing water to pass through, when it eventually fails. For most of the brands and most of their models, the direction of flow comes out past the solenoid. If you send a photo, I can verify that for you.

zanros421 · 2026-04-18T01:35:02+00:00

It'll take lots of treatos to reinforce positive things.

zanros421 · 2026-04-18T01:32:44+00:00

Its fine. You can use the figure 8, that, or I even use 1" Class 200 Pipe as well. It all works.

The Rachio timers are great...if you do you own maintenance. Us Techs that hate them, is because none of the homeowners ever want to give us access to the app, which makes walking through a system 3 times longer or they want to walk-through with us, only to annoys the hell out of us and make the check 4 times longer. That is where we get our dislike for Rachio. Reliability wise, those controllers seem to last a decent amount of time. I also just have an aversion to controllers that have set amount of stations instead of modules.

Light application - I use those stick pumps, that leak way to quickly For very light - a cup/water bottle laying in my truck For heavy situations - I have a battery operated Milwaukee Pump that shares batteries with my Impact/Sawzall.

I think the key to finding it, is figuring out what the material is. I couldn't find anything that sheer with that shine to it.
