re: Ruud vs Carrier AC units

Posted by TGCM on 5/7/24 at 10:25 pm
Who knows really. I just replaced mine with Bryant (made by carrier). Replaced a rheem (same as Rudd) that has broken at least twice a year since it was initially installed12 years ago. Once the compressor went out for the second time in two years, I just bit the bullet and changed it out. I was ...

re: Recurring Prostatitis

It’s awful to deal with. Urologist gave me 30 days of antibiotic and it didn’t work. He prescribed it even though the urine sample showed nothing. I wasn’t really satisfied with the dr. He wanted to say it was bph even though the symptoms started out of nowhere. I didn’t buy that explanation. ...

I had an area like that. I got it covered in artificial turf. Some of the options these days are not terrible. Mine was laid out such that I could define the area so it doesn’t look terrible when it transitions back to natural grass. It’s got a rock base and you can spray it off. Surprisingly it...

Thank you for the input. Your’s and others input over the years has really helped me and I appreciate it. For what it’s worth, this spring I used rezilon (same chemical as specticle just higher concentration so rates have to be adjusted). It says it has some control of sedges. I had no sedge ...
