Posted by Tree 20 on 3/31/23 at 8:58 pm
“they wait until everyone has planted and it stops selling, then they put it on sale.
you are a bit early so give it a few more weeks and after easter the sales will be out”
That’s not true. Mulch on sale is a loss leader (Lowe’s loses money when mulch is 5 for $10). It is the number one attach...

Bought house in 2012 for $275k.
Interest rate was 3.5%
Loan was for 30 years.
I just refinanced for 15 years (Rocket Mortgage)
Interest rate is 1.99%
Loan is for 15 years.
My note went up only $100 a month and I shaved 7 years off my note.

re: Who loves their garden hose?
Posted by Tree 20 on 8/16/20 at 9:29 am

Neverkink is a brand name with several different types of hoses under that name. If you are looking for a g...

Spiral sliced ham. Put in an aluminum pan. Pour 1 can of coke over the ham. Cover the ham with 1lb of brown sugar. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Preheat oven to 325 and cook at 10 minutes per lb.
Debone ham and lightly cover in cooking juices.
