A simple $19 hose end oscillating sprinkler placed in the center of that 33x30 grass patch would cover the entire area without moving it once- and if you go on vacation,a sim...

Re: Are there any A/C guys here?

The only thing he could think of was a very slow leaks at the valves where freon is added. It's cool...

Re: Big Northeast snowstorm projected...

We got 32.5" of snow here in Frederick,Md.I headed back from the Md beaches 12 hours after the snow stopped falling,and gotta say Maryland did a fantastic job clearing the roads- the entire 160 miles of highways I traveled back home were crystal clean black pavement,most of it bone dry too.The Chesa...

Re: Big Northeast snowstorm projected...

Interesting to see Washington and Baltimore grind to a halt yesterday when they got an inch of snow. I just read they're looking at up to 30-inches this weekend. That ought to be quite an adventure. Sent from my iOS device using the Yard Help App Yes ,that 1" was a traffic nightmare around here,tot...

Re: Applying compost with spreader?

Re: Not a fan

Sorry to hear you aren't a fan. I wonder if there is an install problem vs the decking itself. After having just repainted my daughters' playset, I would think a Trex style deck would be fantastic.
