Once established you should only water when soil is dry. This should not take too long and being in the ground will not stay dry as long somewhat normal rain occurs.
Osmocote is a good all around fertilizer. You’ll want to sprinkle under the surface of mulch....

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...

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.

Anyway, my nextdoor neighbor...

I have a rental where there is a couple wood ramps off a deck where previous homeowners laid shingles down for tread. A few came off and I reattached with I think some kind of loctite construction glue. Seems to work pretty good imo. ...
