Tell them if they want to flip some tin in Winn Parish, just let me know! We didn't disturb the place so no telling what is there.

I'll just stand a safe distance away!

Saw a bunch of tin on the ground in a pine thicket where an old barn used to be and I actually throught of your threads. Tried to get my oldest to flip some tin to see what was under while I filmed. He passed.

re: Mortgage company didn’t pay property taxes from escrow and property placed on auction list

Posted by TigerDeacon on 2/18/26 at 12:20 pm to WG_Dawg

If you don't escrow you usually pay a higher percentage on your mortgage. Usually .25% more. You could pay less or a one time fee but those are rarer. Plus you have to put down 20% or more.

To people that are talking about using their "local" mortgage company or bank. In a vast majority of cases the servicer of your mortgage changes immediately. If you are using your local bank for your home mortgage you are most assuredly paying a higher rate.

But yes, always check to make sure your property taxes are paid ever year. With the millions of mortgages out there errors do happen.

Predawn Sunday morning, refueling the generator, with trees cracking and limbs falling in the back yard along with thunder roared lightening all while sleet and freezing rain poured down.

Need some help with ice damaged crepe myrtles.

Posted by TigerDeacon on 1/28/26 at 5:09 pm

I have three large crepe myrtles which have each had different levels of damage from the ice storm. I'm in North Louisiana so we got pretty heavy ice. Today is the first day without ice on them. But I have been at work so I haven't seen them since this morning.

The one in my front yard just has bent limbs while the trunks just seem to be mostly upright. The second one has some large limbs broken off but a lot of the trunks are sagging. The one outside my back door got it the worst with most of the trucks and large limbs are completely broken off or cracked. It also had a bad aphid attack in 2024 but I was able to treat it.

Obviously, I plan to cut off the broken limbs but I've seen a lot of internet "experts" talking about tying up the bent trunks together to see if they recover their natural shape.

Has anyone had any luck doing this before? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
