I would plant all different ones, a mix of the ones you like or repeat planting of the best ones that you like. Planting all of the same exact thing (to me) is boring. And in the case of Leyland Cypress, once bag worms get establish they can spread much quicker. Or if a disease its variety...

I've seen "later in life"... give me death before that!!! Don't know when it will happen but seen too many friends wishing they were dead long before they were...

It's not like a car, a printed receipt is all you need. It's not needed when you sell it either. There's no titles or anything...

Yea, I found a place that makes it in NC but can't find a store - only mail order. Brooklyn Biltong... Biltong. Your new favorite beef jerky. Have to check and look for it in Costco.....

Never heard of that before... now I'm interested!

Thanks for your reply... So, the house is 10 years old... Modular, Nationwide (aka cheap). Are ark fault breakers "good" or should I replace them with GFCI? Money is not a problem and I can replace them. I would be fine with straight breakers and think GFCI is for wimps (but then there is "the...

Keep talking like that and someone might mistake you as an electrician!!!!

Little UPDATE!!! So the electrician was a no show, texted him but I was ghosted. No reply.... I tested things, the outdoor flood lights, tripped 3 times before I gave up. Did a load of laundry, tripped 2 breakers, then it tripped 6 breakers. Opened up the flood lights, which had way too much...

Fill the FEL bucket up with rock or dirt, that adds so much more traction. If you are not going to add water bars, then at least slant your driveway slightly sideways so the water doesn't run down the middle of the driveway. Have it run off to the downhill side.

TBN wins hands down!!! (AI spam Bot was reported) For someone that could not type in their profile correctly, its reply was spot on text book correct.

I use a 12" and dig down deeper, no problem and I've got rocks to contend with. Guessing you'll be fine!!

Only posting since I said I was going to post a photo... Like most photos, hard to tell steepness, height and the slope. These 6 foot "T" posts are driven in the side slope and backed filled with wood sideways and rocks. They were in a straighter line but the middle ones have been push down...

I believe that is the case. I also think the outdoor flood lights (which are tied to some kitchen light) does have a short and when that trips (possibly caused by the water pump turning on), that, that breaker also trips a few others. I need to fix the short, and test the washer to see if it's...

No, but it's now on the "ToDo" list!!! So the first thing I'll ask the electrician to do, is fix the short in the outdoor lighting. Every time I turn on the flood lights, they trip... Yes, another thing I ignored for far too long. This is the 3rd breaker down on the right. I'm going to...

Bedroom #3 is what the washer is on... NOT the 3rd one down on the right. That one is outdoor light (that might does have a short) and a couple of kitchen lights...
