Unfortunately, she had an aneurysm that ruptured. It was very unexpected and very fast.

You don't have to put 20% down for conventional. Sometimes you can go as low as 5% depending on credit and income.

That’s is incredibly helpful. Thanks for the time typing all of that out. I went the AliExpress route so going to have to wait 2 weeks to get everything in. I am really most worried about fitting the stem so I bought 5 extras to have on hand. I still need to get a few tools before parts come in.

I did order an extra, orange strap so I will see if they are compatible. It’s a Chinese knock-off case so I will have to see how accurate it is.

I am not ready to go all in on the crystal press yet so hoping to use all-in-one cases for my first few builds. Any suggestions on where to look for quality cases with crystals installed?

Hot damn that’s a setup.

I just started getting into the watch world, but my pocketbook and taste don’t align. I went down the rabbit hole and found the DIY watch making and modding YouTube community. Infinite options of cases/dials/hands.

Anyone here make or mod their own watches? I just ordered the parts for my first build and would love any tips/tricks. I have always loved the Patek Aquanauts, so going to try to make a black on black Aquanaut-inspired piece with orange hands. If it goes well, a Land-Dweller piece is coming next.

Not as familiar with Zoysia, but I have been trying to wait until the last 20 minutes of daylight to spray so the temps are down.

Would be ideal if I didn't have a 2.5% interest rate on my current house. Buying a new house with a pool would probably be a net loss, unfortunately.

Sprayed PGR so mowing every 7ish days now. I give 2lbs N per 1kft two times each summer.

But yes, its a big yard and have small kids so time I can spend is very limited. Also no sprinkler system so rely on rainfall to water
