Not yet. Average soil temp for me is 82. I’ll wait till it gets closer to 70.

So my dilemma is that I have this weekend for a 2 week vacation. Should I put it down now before I go on vacation even though it's still pretty damn hot outside, or do I wait until October 12'ish to put it down after I get back from my trip. Given the current heat and extended forecast, I think I'll be good to wait, but don't want to miss my window. What would tigerdroppings do?

Location - Baton Rouge.
Had to replace mine about a year ago. You can do it yourself. Unscrew the stainless trim around the microwave - screws should be underneath and maybe on top too. Once you remove the trim, the microwave should be screwed into brackets inside the hole. Unscrew, remove, buy a new microwave in a size that will fit in there, screw it into brackets, screw in trim plate and voila, you're done.
Yep, been around and going there that long too.

Did you know the owner of Chai Thai Lao is the original owner of Thai Pepper?

Don't sleep on Sweet Rice out in Central. They have some pretty legit Thai food too.

For an outdoor vacation, Grand Canyon is pretty hard to beat. Everywhere you look is truly breathtaking.

For urban/city vacation, I really, really, really loved Seville.
We use it quite often. Always have a box at the house.
Going in 3 weeks. Not a golf trip, but 2 weeks driving around Ireland. Very excited.

Originally from the midwest where meat and taters were king. Not a lot of rice eaten up there, so I'm a tater guy myself, but won't say no to rice if that was being served instead.
I'm fortunate enough to generally be able to take 1 two week international trip a year, along with several shorter domestic trips. If i had to choose, I'd do as another poster said and alternate ever other year or something.
I had just started at LSU. This was my first hurricane experience. Friends evacuated New Orleans and stayed with us in our apartment State Street. Sat on the screened in porch all night smoking pot and watching a huge pecan tree sway back and forth waiting for it to snap in half. That old pecan tree still stands to this day.
I have not owned a traditional coffee maker in probably 20 years. I only use a French press and think it makes a damn fine cup of coffee.
Was told by an AC guy recently that a 5 ton package starts at 15k and goes up from there. If you want higher SEER or variable speed, I think someone else’s quote of around 22k is probably in the neighborhood.

This place popped up on my FB feed. Wick open a new place? Did Diversion Pizza close or is this a 2nd restaurant? And more importantly, anybody been?

re: Foundation Repair in BTR

We had to have foundation repairs to our slab foundation about 15 years ago in a prior house. I got quotes from WCK along with 2 national companies. I remember the quote from WCK was substantially cheaper than the other 2. We ended up going with the lower of the 2 national companies b/c I was worried about the long term viability of a local company (WCK) given the lifetime warranties all 3 offered. In retrospect, I think we would have been better off going with WCK.
