re: Anybody have a dog scared of storms?

Boykin spaniel who duck hunts and let's you shoot a shotgun 6" from her is scared of anything related to rain. Smell of rain and she starts shaking. Tries to climb on you the whole time. Husky/shepherd mix is opposite. Couldn't care less about the rain but deathly afraid of guns and the vaccuum clea...

Yes, roundup works primarily by being absorbed by the leaves into the plant you are trying to eliminate. It won't hurt a tree being sprayed at the base....

We did 4" in our entire house when we built 4 years ago. More of a clean modern look. With LED these days, 4" lights have similar lumen and shine angles to 6" lights. So you don't necessarily need more 4" to get the same lighting as 6". Unless you are going for a super bright look, 4" will be fine. ...
Just finished up a project for them in baton rouge. They do a wide range of developments including apartments, single family starter homes, single family approaching 7 figures and commercial. Good guys in my experience. Just like any developer, they are going to have their critics. Can't speak di...

re: Asphalt driveway cost

Sorry, misread the paving part. Carry on. Don't have many jobs with aggregate so don't know current prices. I know it was high during drought due to fact that shipping down the river was a problem. Maybe that has gotten better with a normal river....

re: Asphalt driveway cost

Posted by LSUengr on 3/4/24 at 7:41 pm
Asphalt per ton on larger jobs is going for around $170 per ton. At 360' x 10' x 2" thick you are 46 tons, which is a small job. So call it $200/ton puts you at $9200 for the asphalt laying alone. Add in the rest of the items and it's fairly reasonable....
