re: My grass will not survive on once a week watering right now
Posted by dragginass on 8/21/26 at 7:22 pm to PapaPogey
I have had no measurable rain in 4-5 weeks, until tonight. I haven't checked gauge yet, but it's been a steady light rain for about an hour. We still need more, but this was a big step in right direction.
re: Sheriffs Sale- Concise Listing?

Have Chat GPT or GROK do the work for you. Each parish will have its listings with the respective sheriff's office.

The Proplugger is not recommended for St. Aug but I’ve used it with good results.
Same. I'd guestimate a 75% success rate? Maybe higher if I water....

Need more info on your property. Echo/Stihl/Shindaiwa are amongst the quality options. Whether you go lighter/smaller or heavier duty within those brands and options is dependent on your needs. As others mentioned, the Echo SRM 225 is popular for most neighborhood sized yards.

re: Generac Generator Sitting 5-6 Years With Old Gas — What Would You Do?
Posted by dragginass on 8/17/26 at 8:04 am to justjoe906
I'm not sure who is down voting, but 100% the pilot circuit is fouled up. The generator will open the throttle in response to a poor idle to keep running, the rpm's climb in response .......the rpm's try to drop, but it won't idle well so the surging cycle continues. Under load the throttle is open further, which is why it runs fine under load. These generators have cheap Chinese carbs from the factory, and there is usually little reason to fiddle around with cleaning one that is already varnished and corroded with ethanol. Replace the carb and move on. It's nothing but a few screws. No reason to take it to a shop.

The pilot circuit is fouled up. Since you already bought a new carb, I would go ahead and install it.
re: US Conf of Catholic Bishops is almost entirely funded by govt refugee resettlement grants
Posted by dragginass on 8/11/26 at 7:44 pm to Ailsa
As a Catholic, we can disagree with prudential decisions of the church. From what I understand, these grants have been stopped. As of 2025.
And if you care, the USCCB was spending more on immigration than they were getting in grants.....the church was spending it's own money alongside the grant money.
Now, we can still disagree with all of it, but let the conversation be honest.

re: Ceiling fan blades quit spinning
Posted by dragginass on 8/9/26 at 5:48 pm to TU Rob
Spin it by hand with the switch on, and see if it can keep going on its own. If it can't, it's definitely not lubrication issue. Got an amp meter?
re: Glacier pool coolers. Are they worth it?
Posted by dragginass on 8/4/26 at 9:00 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I have had similar experience. Our water temp was up to 92F last week. I set up and ran the fountain/spray overnight the last few nights and it's back down to 88/89F. That's perfect for us. The lower humidity certainly helped the cooling, but impressive nonetheless.

re: Installing a hot tub - what PSI?

It's not a matter of the weight of the tub, it's a matter of how that weight is distributed.

re: MSM Turf and spotted spurge
Posted by dragginass on 7/28/26 at 3:29 pm to CrawDude
Thank you.
I was researching the efficacy of my fusillade/recognition combo for Bermuda when I happened to read somewhere about the MSO. I had good luck with this combo(using non-ionic) at my last house, but it isn't fazing the Bermuda at my new place. I don't know if it's a different type of Bermuda causing the issue, but I now suspect it is. At any rate, I contemplated mixing my next batch with the MSO. I have some places I can experiment.

Speaking of surfactant, do you have any advice on when to use MSO vs the typical non-ionic surfactant?
re: City St. George is NOT incorporated, therefore is null, void and has no legal authority.

BR is about to enter the FO stage. If the incorporation date becomes the election certification date, then many of the annexations that were done afterwards will be declared null.

re: Just had flooring insulation done and now home is more humid and hotter than ever
Posted by dragginass on 7/23/26 at 3:05 pm to rpg37
If the humidity in the house is worse now, you may be drawing in outside air. After reading the other post, I'd consult a different HVAC company.
Old houses were leaky. When you start sealing them up you can bring about secondary issues with negative pressure sucking in outside air.
ETA: your return air ducting is the first thing I'd be looking at. Make sure you're not drawing in attic air downstream of the filter. Assuming your air handler is in attic.

Full disclosure: I have no experience with your exact scenario.
That said, you can't just spray foam parts of an old house without forethought. You need a legitimate building scientist type contractor. Who did the work and who did you consult?
What sort of ventilation do you have, what is the attic insulation like, and what is your HVAC setup?

re: Best Home Warranty

Home warranties are a scam. It's nothing other than a bad attempt to finance repairs.
