Y'all can recycle old ones......just keep um coming.

Crazy thing is if the dude doesn't say shite and keeps it between the brothers, they never get caught......or never serve jail time. Even if they are suspected, no way they get convicted without all the shite the chic did.

Baw put too much trust in a woman.

My parents had a rental house in the 80s, and every time they had to evict somebody, my sister and I were forced to go with them to clean up the place. We hated it.

Just disgusting.

They'd wash their clothes in the dishwasher.

We'd find half eaten chicken bones hidden all over the house. And this was universal for every tenant. Chicken bones just squared away in closets and the corners of bedrooms. Piled up in the bathroom like they would just eat chicken while taking a shite.

Once there was a shite stain on the wall about 5 feet up. I don't know if they shite in their hand and rubbed it on the wall, or they got a running start and jumped arse first into the wall.

One time the upstairs toilet was cracked at the bowl, so every time they flushed it, shite/piss water would shoot out, which leaked onto the downstairs ceiling. They never let us know that there was an issue with the toilet in the year they lived there. That was not fun to replace.

Drug paraphernalia was usually found in the bathrooms. Needles and syringes and coke mirrors with razor blades.

When we'd go clean, we were normally the only white people in the area, and it was like an episode of National Geographic, where the natives would all come to see the exotic whites invading their natural habitat.

"Hey mista, you got a solid quarter I can have?" "Hey, I can have one of those cold drinks?" "Hey mista, I can borrow a piece of chicken?" "Whachu doin' over here honk muthafricka?"

It was a nice area when my parents bought the place, but the area eventually turned Section 8.

I think the happiest day of my parents' lives was the day they sold that place.

And I told myself at a very young age that I would never ever own rental property.

I laughed way to hard reading this post. :lol:

That's what is referred to as a "deep dive". :lol:

Looks like condensation dripping off the roof (assuming there is a roof valley above the location where the water starts accumulating). Put a bucket under the valley end to confirm. Installing gutters will prevent it from accumulating on your entry walk, if it bothers you.

Dew point conditions seem to occur on every exterior surface on and around my house this time of year, including my lawn. I think it’s more related to the relative humidity than anything else.

I have a similar occurrence on the west side of my house. I think its our climate (100% humidity 24/7)

Good luck

DO NOT plant crape myrtle trees around your driveway. They are super messy. Avoid them around your home in general unless you want leaves and flower clusters everywhere.

Beautiful trees but MESSY.

Southeastern Louisiana has been fortunate to have a premier station like WWL for so long. Fox8 has taken over, but their quality is also top notch. Just really good broadcasts with outstanding production quality.

Take a vacation and tune into their local news. It's a total joke. It's literally Temu News in other areas. We are spoiled!

I'm thinking Live oak.

Just kidding. Yard too small and to nice to add a tree. Leave as is and maybe try the window tint.

Due to the rising cost of cypress (and other premium) mulch, I went with pine straw in 2025. It held up ok....just fades pretty fast in our climate. It was good enough to continue with it this spring.

Just wondering how y'all handle putting the new stuff down. Some areas are still "full" (the pine straw has not broken down much). Do you generally just add on top or remove the old and add new pine straw? Pine straw is difficult to put down.....just trying to see what other folks do before I tackle this project.

If I bought the bagged pine straw, I could put a thin layer on top to get the color back, but those bags are almost as expensive as cypress. The bagged pine starw is shredded and easier to put down.....just expensive.
