re: Best method for uprooting shrubs and small trees
Posted by Duck Island on 4/13/24 at 8:25 pm
I’ve done it plenty times with a tow strap with loop ends. Run one end thru the other loop and put it around the bush and then the end goes over your trailer ball. Pull slowly and the lasso tightens around the bush. Works great and you don’t have to frick with dangerous chain. ...
re: Have any of you ever used a slug barrel?
Posted by Duck Island on 1/14/24 at 10:08 am
Hunted a place that we could only use shotguns so we bought rifled slug barrels for our REM 870’s. Hastings Cantilever topped w/ Leupold 1.5-5 scope. Amazingly accurate using solid copper Sabot type slugs. Mine would do 1-1/2” groups at 100 every time. Killed many deer w/ it and still have it set u...

I used Floor Removal Systems in BR. They troweled the Ardex on abt 750 sq ft and I think it was $1/ ft. Best dollar a foot ever spent. Call them and be done with it....
re: Concrete slab resurfacing
Posted by Duck Island on 11/20/23 at 6:19 pm
Ardex makes a lot of great products for leveling, covering etc. I just used it on a slab that had glue residue and they make a product just for that. I would def recommend using one of their products on your floor based on your pics....

re: Slab leak detection - plumber recommendation?

I remodeled my neighbor’s house and he had the wet slab from another neighbor’s leaking irrigation system. As a side note, I had a leaking pool at my house. Sorry for the confusion!...
re: Slab leak detection - plumber recommendation?
Posted by Duck Island on 7/24/23 at 6:51 pm
We pretty much exhausted all possibilities and only found out later the real cause. I actually had a pool leak yrs ago and the pool guy cut the pipes and pressurized them with air and found the leak. I’d hard pipe the French drain and get that water out of there to be safe. Hope some of this helps!...
re: Slab leak detection - plumber recommendation?
Posted by Duck Island on 7/23/23 at 12:58 pm

re: Cracking in grout after one week of bathroom renovation…
Posted by Duck Island on 7/1/23 at 8:03 am
Some of the installers I’ve seen will mix the grout very thin which makes it easier for them to spread. They water it down which can cause cracking like yours. Cement finishers will do the same with concrete, watering it down so it’s easy on them. Gotta watch everyone and everything they do....

I’ve tried them all but for the last few years have been using 1/2 Mexican vanilla and water. Go to a Mexican store and they have huge bottles cheap. I buy the one that’s abt the size of a whiskey bottle for abt $9.00. Tried Marsh Romance the other day in Cocodrie and it seemed to work pretty well b...
