Thank you, both. I am going to reach out to Richard.

Edited ...

Reached out to Richard. He doesn't do new home construction inspections.

:cheers:
My search turned up a few people, but the information I found is at least five years old.

If anyone has been through this before, I'd appreciate hearing your input or experience.

I might give him a call too and see if he’s interested.


I spoke with him once, and he was very knowledgable. I simply didn't follow up on repairing my ice maker, and I should have. My issue at the time was that I didn't have a truck to haul my ice maker to him (but now I do -- and still haven't done it. :lol:).

It's a Hoshizaki Ice Maker.

Thanks. Just what I was looking for.

Try this guy. I've never used him, but he has come highly recommended by others in Ascension Parish.

Exercise is the single most important activity for your dog. The one thing you cannot skip!

Walking with your dog is the single most powerful tool to help you connect with all the aspects of your dog’s mind --- animal, dog, breed, and name. By mastering the walk, you can truly bond with your dog as her pack leader. The walk is the foundation of your relationship. It is also where your dog learns to be a dog. She learns about her environment, about the other animals and humans in it, about dangers such as cars, and about things to be avoided such as bikes and skateboards. She gets to pee on trees and really get to know her territory.

A structured regular walking schedule is vital, especially for dogs with behavior problems and issues.

100% agree. He’s a frenchie so it’s hard to exercise him without him getting overheated—especially in the summer.


Early morning, and late evening. Also, utilize bully sticks and/or buffalo cheeks. Frozen peanut butter kong treats that are inside a toy. Just some ideas for in between.

Here's mine.

99.9 % certain you are not exercising your dog enough daily -- and that also includes mental stimulation. Most dog behavior issues are because of owners who do not allow their dog enough time to release their energy -- and this is where the destructive behaviors come in.

To answer your qeustion, Diamond in the Ruff or Larry Benoit. But my point above is where I would start first.

Many will say this is one of the best steakhouses in America. I've been, once, and maybe it was an off night for them, but I was not impressed. I recently watched a YT video review, and I must say that the review makes me want to give them another try.

I personally believe that Pappas Bros. Steakhouse has one of the best steaks in Dallas, but note, you can also find them in Houston as well.

Same goes for Del Frisco's and Perry's Steakhouse and Grille. Both serve an excellent steak, but you won't find a better meal than Perry's pork chop. Look it up. Seriously, it's that good. And yes, I recognize that Del Frisco's, Pappas, and Perry's are "chains."





Bob's is good, but I wasn't blown away by the food. Their service was great though.

If you're in the Fort Worth area, Lonesome Dove may be a place that you want to try. It has a great atmosphere and the steaks are delicious (if you're set on a steak).

I've only eaten breakfast there. It was very good -- and it was one of the last meals I ever had with my dad where we went out to eat before he died.

Also, Gordon Ramsey has been there from my understanding.
He's just out enjoying Father's Day weekend.

This is my best. Previous best was 78-4.
Huge fire. Has to be a total loss.

Had never heard of this before you posted it ... just looked it up ... and this might be exactly what I am wanting. :cheers:

Zoysia or St. Aug

Posted by Will Cover on 6/17/26 at 8:57 pm
Other than cutting, edging, and weedeating -- and watering, that's about the extent of my knowledge when it comes to sod/grass. I'll spinkler some fertlizer every once in a while, but I honestly don't know the difference between fertiizers -- and could be causing more harm than good with my existing yard. Right now, I have a mixture of Centipede (about 80 %) and the rest is Zoysia.

I know that I don't want Bermuda or Centipede. Which of the two in the subject line are best against weeds -- and is easier to maintain? Any of them more resistant to dog urine and shite?

Note, this is for Ascension Parish --- new construction. Sod will be laid in the winter, if that matters.

Are you using the summons at all?


Yes, every day at work. Works great. So much better since they now allow the vehicle to go driverless at up to 8 mph.

quote:

The new feature that allows you to get out of the car and then have it go park itself is something I will probably use in bad weather.


I didn't realize this could be done. I'll have to research how to do this.

Anyone have a recommendation?


I went from stained to faux finish "stained."



Note, stucco has also been repainted to Sherwin-Williams Shoji White (SW 7042) - picture above was taken before stucco was painted. Made a huge difference.

I don’t watch the NBA. Quit years ago. It is crap.


Same. It is a 3 point contest today. And zero defense.

I stopped watching after Kobe retired. I wasn't a huge fan of his, but I respected his game -- and his committment to winning. Reminded me of Jordan.

Picture TVs

May also be called Flush Mounted TVs?

I own 4 Hisense TVs right now. Haven't had any issues with any of them in almost 5 years. I see they make a "Canvas TV" which I suppose is the competitor to the Samsung Picture TV. Are there any other brands that do this as well?

I really like the idea of not having a large wall mount on my wall. In all the years taht I have had a wall mount, I've never had the need to reposition the TV.

Also, between QLED and Mini-LED, which one offers a better picture in terms of brightness, clarity, and black colors? Is there anything new out?
