re: Locating a leak. Using 17,500 gallons a month.
Posted by lsu1980 on 8/14/21 at 2:36 pm
I had a leak under the slab as well. It wasn’t enough to make a noticeable difference in my water bill (I think it was about 20 gallons per day) but I could hear a hissing sound coming from a wall near the pipe. No water anywhere but saw the meter indicator moving very slowly. Pipe was fixed by lini...

I don’t understand having a leaky toilet flapper and losing 200 gallons a day and not being aware. I had a leaky flapper once and knew because I could hear the tank auto-filling every couple of hours or so when the level in the tank dropped to a certain point. ...

Many labs are participating in studies and send a certain number positives from the general test for gene sequencing. Gene sequencing is done at labs such as CDC, state labs, university research labs, etc. The results of this indicate how much of the different variants are in the general population ...
re: In ground pool question, do ya'll have to add water during the summer
Posted by lsu1980 on 7/31/21 at 9:32 pm
I lose between 1/8” and 1/4” per day in summer when there is no rain. That’s normal evaporation. I lose even more than that at other times of the year on windy days when the humidity is low. ...

re: Lower antelope canyon
Posted by lsu1980 on 2/26/20 at 1:50 pm
You need to be part of a tour group with a Navajo guide so book in advance. You can’t enter the canyons on your own.
We stopped in Page for an overnight after Bryce and did Lower Antelope the next morning before heading to the Grand Canyon South Rim that afternoon. Delicious casual BBQ at Big Jo...

Yes, I went almost 2 years ago and it was a highlight of my Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon trip.
Book months in advance (we booked Ken’s tours). The pictures I took are unbelievable. ...
re: Winter Weeds in Centipede
Posted by lsu1980 on 2/5/20 at 5:52 pm
I think the confusion was that both the 8.6 oz and the 4.3 oz were in 1 gallon of water so the concentration seemed way off between the label and the LSU paper. But if it works for you that’s all I need to know. Thanks. ...
re: Winter Weeds in Centipede
Posted by lsu1980 on 2/5/20 at 4:52 pm
That’s the same thing I got at my plant store. They said it was from LSU. Seems like a lot of Atrazine, twice what the label on the bottle says for 1 gallon of water so I was questioning this. ...
Winter Weeds in Centipede
Posted by lsu1980 on 2/5/20 at 4:16 pm
What are the correct proportions for mixing each of these together in 1 gallon of water in a sprayer:
Ferti-Lome Weed Free Zone
Hi-Yield Atrazine
Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker
The amounts seem to vary widely depending on the source. What are the correct amounts to kill the weeds but not the cent...

We went the last week in May a few years ago and it was perfect. Chilly in the mornings (upper 30s) but warmed to around 70 quickly. No rain for us that week. Crowds in Jackson Hole and Yellowstone were very manageable. ...
re: Water leak
Posted by lsu1980 on 12/26/19 at 9:17 pm
6300 gallons in a month does not seem that excessive and I’m surprised it generated a letter. Are you sure it didn’t say 63,000 gallons because that would be alarming. I think the 2 of us use between 3000 and 6000 and maybe a little more or less depending on if lawn/garden being watered, cars bein...
