Worse loss? Clemson or LSU?

Posted by bayouself74 on 9/5/23 at 6:23 am
Both teams highly ranked. Both disappointing losses, no doubt. IMHO Clemson’s loss to an unranked conference opponent is crushing, whereas we can still play for our conference championship goal and have an outside shot for the playoffs if we grow from our loss. FSU is a damn good team with playmaker...

Yes. My wife ordered mine from there and she mentioned the delay to me yesterday. She was going to contact them today but with the holiday probably won’t know anything until Wednesday at the earliest. ...

Baseball is a fickle game!

Posted by bayouself74 on 6/26/23 at 7:05 am
It’s a funny thing about baseball, it has a way of averaging things out. I remember earlier in the year when we were batting like .450 with runners in scoring position and our bullpen had like a 7+ ERA. I kept thinking our hitting is not that good and our pitching is not that bad. It all has a way o...
The fascia is wood but it’s the kind with the thick coated primer preapplied. It’s the same as was used on the column trim. I am more aggravated in the fact that I had less issues with previous home I had in Zachary that was 50+ years old and the home I moved from in UC which I had zero issues with ...

New Home issues. Advice requested.

Posted by bayouself74 on 4/3/23 at 9:00 am
About 3 years ago my wife and I decided to build a new home and move closer to our kids and grandchildren. We had a custom builder build it we have now been in our new home for 25 months. It has been nothing but one issue after another. Roofer left roof jacks off vent pipes. Water leaked into hot wa...
Need a recommendation for a good tile company/guy in Baton Rouge area. Having some issues with leaky shower tile at the door and curb that causing mold issues. Looking for someone who can identify the issue and correct it. I can do tile work but this is outside of my skill set. ...
I’m on the supply side of this and I can tell you it’s a nightmare. The sad part is that the manufacturers caused all this when they cut back production and labor based on “market” project early on during the pandemic. They have never been able to catch up since due to that action and all of the raw...

Preemergent and new lawn

Posted by bayouself74 on 10/3/21 at 10:10 am
I have a newer centipede lawn with sod being laid down last February. That last hard freeze really put the hurt on it but has hung on well enough. I have only fertilized it with milorganite up to this point. I was going to put down Prodiamine in a week or two but then I read that it might harm root ...
Like everyone has said before supply chain is already screwed because of Covid. This is going to be an ugly situation. ...

re: Eagle rock loop - Mid March

Posted by bayouself74 on 2/22/21 at 3:21 pm
The western section is pretty tough with difficult grades and loose rock. I have found that counter clockwise is a little bit more difficult than clockwise. Plenty of good campsites to be had and water is plentiful. ...

re: Miss. River Water Level Questions

Posted by bayouself74 on 5/11/20 at 10:11 am
The corps has flow rate levels that trigger openings of the lock system in stages. Those other issues you mentioned earlier don’t factor into it on the surface (but are discussed at a higher leVel than you or I). With all that being said I was in Concordia this past week and I can tell you the lengt...

Yes I have a planer and router. May need to get a biscuit joiner. I am a novice too. Never tried anything fancy and only with reclaimed wood or cypress I had laying around. Looking to challenge myself a bit. Thanks for all your helpful responses. ...
