re: Weed Identification Help - Brand New Lawn
Posted by southerntiger83 on 7/19/22 at 10:45 am
Thanks Ronk. I don’t remember having this weed I’m my previous lawn. Would it have come in with the new sod? Landscaper said the grass came straight from somewhere in Alabama and delivered directly to my house and then installed.
If I opt to treat it, is it too soon to spray anything on the new...

Weed Identification Help - Brand New Lawn
Posted by southerntiger83 on 7/19/22 at 9:47 am
Had my lawn replaced three weeks ago. The landscape company installed 12 pallets of Palisade Zoysia. I noticed some weeds popping up everywhere that I had not seen or noticed in the previous lawn. Any idea what this is? How to treat? Can I even treat it now because it was only laid three weeks ago...
re: How much for a 40k lb excavator for 2-3 days?
Posted by southerntiger83 on 5/12/22 at 9:08 pm
A Cat 316 is 38,000 lbs. Someone suggested a Cat 315 but that’s just a reduced radius Cat 313 excavator. The 316 runs about $675 a day and about $1900 a week (3 days equal a week in the rental world. Meaning if you have it for 3 days, you might as well keep it for 7. It’ll be the same rate)
Those a...

In my past life I ran multiple commercial construction jobs ranging from 1 million to 15 million. I am completely capable of running a residential job but I’m slightly worried about getting the subs to do what I want, when I want it done as I’m not their primary source of work. I co...

Are you, me?
We’re looking to build in Lakeview. Already own the lots free and clear. Hired an architect months ago and while discussing the design, we talked about the sqft price range he was seeing. He told us $175 a sqft. Finally got around to pricing it up using the contractor that w...

Art, I’m not anywhere near that point yet. We’re meeting with our architect tomorrow to start designing our house. If we don’t put a pool in now, then I will make sure most thing’s are already roughed in to add a pool in the future. I guess I’m wonderi...

New Orleans Area Residential Architect or Draftsman Recommendation Needed
Posted by southerntiger83 on 5/19/21 at 2:59 pm
Looking to build a new home in the next year or two (fingers crossed that lumber costs come down) and wanted to know if anyone could recommend an architect around here. Not totally against a draftsman either but would prefer an architect. Already met with Hollingsworth but want to meet/interview a f...

I bought a Tactacam Reveal and put it out in early October. It’s been great and I would definitely recommend it. All cell phones get a terrible signal or barely work at our camp. I got the camera with the Verizon option and it has a full signal strength anywhere I have moved it to at the camp. It se...
