Its because Oak Grove does not have open enrollment. Yes, they are the only school with football in West Carroll Parish but kids still have to sit out a year if they go there like other non-select school. This news video explains why they petitioned the LHSAA about being classified select last y...

re: Best water heater brand?

Posted by Agrippa on 4/26/23 at 8:14 am
I’m in the market for a new hot water heater as well. I’ve been looking at the reviews on the Rheem they sell at Home Depot and there’s a surprising amount of negative reviews. Seems like most of them steam from problems with the plastic drain valve. Seems like a no brainer to just replace it with a...

re: Killing Asiatic Jasmine

Crossbow will kill it, It’s a mixture of 2,4-D and Triclopyr. Got to be careful because both of those are esters and will vaporize in hot/still weather, killing any trees in the area. Recently bought a house with a ton of Asian jasmine, been waging war on it for a year. I spray it and kill it then a...

re: Bathtub reglazing

Posted by Agrippa on 8/27/22 at 8:03 am
Bought a house that had those ugly yellow tubs that were popular 40 years ago upstairs. We decided to reglaze them instead of replacing them. I got serval quotes from the Northshore/Nola area, they ranged from $450-700. They turned out great and we've had zero issues with them. ...

Tile Mud Bed Questions

Posted by Agrippa on 4/15/22 at 9:14 am
Got a few questions. I removed the tile in an upstairs bathroom and found that it was installed in a mud bed. No surprise since its an older house but I have no experience working with mud beds. Is it possible to re-tile over old mud bed using thinset mortar? Also I found a decent crack in the mud b...

Insurance Question about Metal Roof

Posted by Agrippa on 12/16/21 at 9:00 am
We had a tree hit our house during the hurricane and it damaged a nice size section of our metal roof. Finally got an email from the insurance company today and they want to just replace a few metal sheets. Problem is the damage is in the very front of the house and the rest of our roof is from Katr...

My nest was doing the same thing, finally figured out there was a small fuse (5-10A) on the main board of my air handling unit that was blown. It’s just a small car fuse so it’s easy to ID and change. You can get the fuse at Autozone....

Load Bearing Wall Question

Posted by Agrippa on 5/22/21 at 12:11 pm
I recently bought a house built in the 80's and the wife wants to open it up a bit. The wall in question is on the first floor and has a double door in it. I checked above the door and there's no header just standard stud spacing. Is this a good indication that this isnt a LBW? ...

Noticed some screws were loose on my roof yesterday. Bought the house recently and the roof is 16 years old. Is this a sign I should have them all replaced or can I just go around tightening the loose ones?...
