Most excited for SWJr since he had to cancel last year.

CWG is going to put on a great show.

Interested to see Buffalo Traffic Jam

I saw Lance Roark open for the Castellos at the Texas Club and both are solid.

I won't get to see him because he's playing at the same time as CWG but D. K. Harrel is solid

How much does it run to have them aerate and top dress?
Downvoters clearly aren't Costco members

It's my understanding that you don't want to dethatch St. Aug as you will damage the stolons (runners). But I guess it depends on how the lawn currently looks and if you need to remove a lot of material to give it a reset.

I find just using a rake and raking up all the dead material to thin it out helps a lot.

I listened to the Jim Dale readings this year. Was my first time reading/listening to the books.

I am very excited to listen to the full cast versions in a few years when I revisit it.

I'm going to scalp my zoysia next weekend.
Going to wait to do leveling until june/July.

Wouldn't it be easier to level after scalped?
I want it to fill in quickly but I also want to level it properly.

Working on getting the zoysia in my front yard right.
Bought the house in June and it was 4"-4 1/2".
Leveled it some last summer and got it to 2"-2 1/2".
Level it more and bring it down to around 1-1/2"

Clearing weeds and vines from my side fence my elderly neighbor has let take over.

Cutting back leggy/thined Azaleas that were getting choked out by the weeds/vines once they finish blooming.

Removing old trash shrubs and replacing.

Many more but that's it for this spring and summers projects.

Didn't know there was a movie but I'm excited for it. The book was great.

Completely agree

I've always said the same about Justified. If it would have been in Netflix it would have been as big as Breaking Bad
It is absolutely one of the best shows on television.
Wife and I both love it

re: 12x16 Hobby Shed

Following because I want to put a 12x24 shed/workshop in my yard. I have a slab for it already.

Don't know if buying a kit or having one built is the better/cheaper option.
I don't think there is a wrong way of doing it.
I asked out of genuine curiosity.
I have kids aged 4 and 2 and I go back and forth on how to set them up financially as well.

:cheers:
Yea, I just wonder how kids will act if you tell them they will have 9 million dollars when they get to retirement age.

That can kill drive.
Obviously different kids handle this differently, but that would be my worry.
Is there much difference in investing and saving for yourself and letting them inherit it?
It would compound the same.
Beam clamps and unistrut is the answer.

re: Caulking is Cracking

Posted by WITNESS23 on 2/2/26 at 10:13 am to
I have a similar issue. Bought a house in June. House was built in 69. Has a room that on the exterior wall is a raised panel wainscoting. It looked bad when we moved in and I replaced the caulk with some trim caulk from home depot.
Fast forward to when it started getting cold and I am having wood movement almost 1/2" between the trim in the raised panel.

I think there is minimal if any insulation in that exterior wall so it's somethjng that I'm going to have to deal with. Bought some "Big Stretch" caulk and plan on tearing out the caulk and redoing it. Hoping it will be enough.
If it's not I'm not sure what to do.
