I have a 5 year old navien tankless and do the descale/servicing on it myself once a year. There’s a great video on YouTube that goes through the steps. You’ll need a bucket, sump pump, washing machine hoses and a couple of gallons of vinegar. I did not do it the first couple years and when I d...

Check out shantung maples. They thrive in full sun. There is a dwarf variety if you’re looking for a more ornamental tree...

New ductwork in crawl space

Posted by HBomb on 9/12/23 at 8:32 pm
I’m in need of new ductwork in one section of my house, about 1700 sq ft. No telling how old my current ducts are, but they’re in bad shape and need to replaced. It’s a total of 8 floor vents these ducts go to. On top of that crawl space is pretty damn tight, so the job will suck no doubt. ...

Sprinkler systems

Posted by HBomb on 8/24/23 at 11:17 am
Hello, currently getting bids for a new sprinkler system. I previously had one but due to an addition I did to the home, I had to have a new sewer line run from the back of the house to the front and thus tore up everything I had in place(no practical way around it).

Bachelor Party in Mexico City

Posted by HBomb on 5/10/23 at 1:51 pm
Going on a bachelor party to Mexico City over labor day weekend. Was wondering if anyone had experience doing such trip in CDMX? I've been once but was with my wife and friends that lived there at the time, so didn't hit up the party scene too much. I know we plan to eat at some good dining an...
Yeah, that would suck. Or any kind of act of God that damages it severely. Only problem is you've brought it up to them so could be seen as suspicious....

We brought the kids there a couple months ago for first time bc wife’s sister gave us a gift card to use. It was alright. Really too crowded for my liking and like all water parks really brings out lots of different people. My 6 year old really liked it, but I doubt I’ll want to go agai...
