is spray foam that powerful or would you have to manually raise driveway first?

---

Yes, it will easily lift a driveway or a sidewalk. My area has clay soil and that results in home foundation issues. There are companies that level up whole houses using expanding foam. You don’t have to lift the driveway…or the house.

A quick update. He got awarded the Stamps scholarship which pays full tuition and expenses at LSU. But then Brown matched the scholarship offer, so he is going to Brown. So proud of the dude!!

Congrats to both of you! If the student truly deserves to be there, and keeps trying to find a way, it typically always seems to work out!

Why does the smoke alarm battery chirp always occur at 3am?

I have always thought this a very well conceived ploy to increase sales. If it starts chirping at 3 AM, I am very to take a broom handle and knock that bitch off the wall. :lol: :lol:

By PVC to steel, you mean galvanized pipe? If so, Teflon the male threads on the bottom of that hose spigot and spin and attach a galvanized 90. Don’t forget to use Megalok sealant. Out of the 90 use a PVC threaded male adapter. Use primer and glue on the male and galvanized 90 and tighten up with channel locks.

Thanks! That gives me a starting point.

eta i still had that thing until very recently. it finally disappeared in one of our moves along with that damn calculus tome i carried around with me for 40 years after college

I actually did the same thing. I had a HP48 that I carried back and forth to work for the last 35 years since I was in college. Found recently that I left some batteries in it for too long and they corroded. I still haven’t thrown it away!

I would try roundup or other herbicide of your choice in a wick bar. Its what we used to do before roundup ready soybeans

Man, you must be as old as me! Haven’t thought about one of those rigs in years!

There is typically a vent on the front that lets air circulate through during the dry cycle…be sure that is not blocked. Also, one time mine was not dumping all of the water out on the last cycle…I didn’t notice, because the water was perfectly clear in the bottom of the unit.

My graduation seemed to go on forever. However, you are not going to realistically get done with the HS graduation for at least a couple of hours. I would not plan to go to the actual LSU graduation ceremony.

However, there is always a lot of hanging around outside of the facility after the LSU graduation (which is actually the first time you see your graduate anyway). You may be able to make the loitering session and go to eat with everyone or something.

I have major problems with Johnson grass in my area and have never had a problem with it in the actual pasture. I guess I just keep it mowed frequently enough to prevent it.
