I'm assuming they are 10' post and about 2' or so in the ground. I think they needed to be 3' or more minimum with that soft ground. I may try and add more 4 x 4 post in between the runs and make sure those are 3' in the ground with 80lb bags of concrete per post..
It's 4 x 4 wood posts spaced every 8'. The ground is giving way mainly. Post seem to still be straight for the most part. The fence is not even 2 years old. So you would recommend placing more 4 x 4 post in between each 8' run? And maybe add more concrete to the already existing posts?

Any thoughts on using galvanized pipe instead of 4 x 4 wooden post?
My concern with those stakes is that they don't go deep enough into the ground. I feel like with the soil conditions , it will still shift with the post. I thought about driving 12' sticks of 2" galvanized pipe about 4' into the ground and anchoring those to the fence with some u-clamps.
We have an 8' fence (we live on a main highway with lower land). See picture below. We had a real high wind gust and heavy rain hit on Sunday and it caused the posts pictured to shift in the ground. This happened last year when a Cat 1 hurricane passed through as well. At the time, I got the fence company to come back out and reinforce the post with more concrete mix. Obviously , that didn't correct the issue. This happens in our low spots where the water drains off our land.... the ground gets so saturated right there that this could be an ongoing issue. We built on natural "wetlands".

Any suggestions? Pic below is an example of what I am talking about. Our situation is a little worse than this.

Dr. John Evan Morse is solid.
Just trying to get opinions here..... I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. I have about $100 for each per month that I can invest to start a savings account for them to utilize once they turn 18 or so (most likely for college , but who knows). I am debating on investing in a 529 plan or going with a more traditional investment account and put it into an ETF or Index fund. I spoke with a guy I know who works for New York Life and he was telling me about their variable universal life policies that are an option as well. It was the first time I've heard of those , but I am not sold that you get the most bang out of your buck with a VUL account.
Failed to mention that I do not have gutters on the home.
First time hanging christmas lights on the roof and im having trouble with the universal clips I bought from Walmart holding the lights up (yes i shouldnt have bought from walmart). One tug and they came falling down. Just trying to get any advice / suggestions. Thought about just using staples on the roof wood trim under the shingles.

I love Kansas +18 at Texas. They always play Texas close and Texas has OU next week

I also love OU -18 over Iowa St at home. Iowa St blows and OU can name its score.


Soooo Texas is in a look ahead spot but Oklahoma isn't ? :confused:

Also... I got (2) $100 NBAstore credit vouchers from refer a friend promo on Fanduel. Im not a huge NBA guy if anyone is interested. I would take $80 each for them so a little 20% extra discount there.

I wish fanduel would have just gave me more free money to lose lol.
Take Mark Williams over 7.5 rebounds against Syracuse. Syracuse has no inside presence. Should have plenty of opportunities for boards.

Build Home Now or Wait to Build

Posted by LSUBlake11 on 2/14/22 at 3:03 pm
The wife and I are thinking about building a custom home this year in Ascension Parish. We are in the middle of developing our plans right now and looking into which builder's to use. At the moment , I am hearing (and even got a preliminary quote) about $190 - $200 / sq ft to build a 2200 - 2300 sq ft home. Does anyone expect the price to build homes to come down at all over time? Or is this to new "norm"? I know it all depends on the prices of materials and the market. We are just debating on if we should move forward or take the wait-and-see approach on what the market does.
