Home Improvements

[Seabiscuit36]

I've never really dealt with them, but I had some trees that were struggling when we moved into our place last year.  I removed some of the lower limbs on the tree, any that were receiving just a little bit of sunlight.  And I picked up and used Jobes Tree and Shrub fertilizer.  Just make sure you water the ground before attempting to slam them into the hard soil.  And use the recommended size/distance.  I used to use these commerically, and they work great.  But the biggest mistake people make is over fertilizing, and thinking that if they put it closer to the tree, that it'll grow tenfold.

Thanks for the imput

Pull the weeds manually and spare the rest of us your farging poison, icehole.

[Seabiscuit36]

That would take years.  Dio you want a side job that offers booze and nice views?

I'm going to rant here, nothing I'm writing is remotely interesting but I feel like writing it anyway. Don't bother reading this, you've been warned:

So my landlord [funhole] does a walk through last night. She was a terrible land lord, her mail still comes to our address and even after 2 1/2 years we still save it for her. My bathroom ceiling leaks every other month, the basement floods any time it rains, and she won't fix shtein. Our washer is leaking, I told her and she said she isn't fixing it [it's in our lease we're responsible for appliances] so my room mate and I said farg it...we threw some towels around the machine and did our laundry. So my bitch of a land lord complains about that then says the ceiling under neath in our garage is 'buckling'. It wasn't, it's sheet rock and it naturally bends. Then she says the window sill in my room is dirty, there was a spot on the wall, and our ceiling fan is dirty. She then tries telling me that the place was spic and span and white as can be when we moved in. First off, we still farging live here so shtein ain't gonna be white, second the place was a farging wreck when we moved in. I had to scrub my tub with bleach, throw a bunch of shtein out she didn't get rid of, get stains out of the carpet, fix the wall paper in my daughters room, and a bunch of other shtein.  She also told me to do whatever I want with the zesty curtains she has up [I tossed the ones in my daughters room because they were nasty].

She comes over last night and says she wants the curtains dry cleaned and wants the place white and clean. She was being a farging funhole about every minor thing. So I called my realtor today and told him if she doesn't drop the attitude I'm not allowing people to walk through my place so she can find a new renter. I'm out the 1st of May. Her and the realtor talked down to my room mate and I last night. So I told the realtor today to tell her she can go farg herself, I'll leave the place how I want to. She wants to keep my security deposit that's fine, I want to see receipts of what she spent the money on. If it's not accounted for I'm taking her to small claims court. I also told him I contacted my lawyer regarding this issue [I didn't]. The realtor actually agree with most of what I was saying. So I reiterated if she comes at me again with that attitude I'm going to lay into her.

To make a long story short I can't wait to farging move. farg that bitch.

Long story short, went to court today and got our full security deposit back. We mediated because who knows what the judge is going to rule.

Nice.

So my wife had on HDTV today, one of the Kitchen Cousins or whatever variation of family members it is.  They did a wine tap in a kitchen, pretty awesome.  Till I found out the keg of red wine runs about 800 bucks.  Needless to say, I don't foresee that being a necessity 

[Diomedes]

A wine tap in my kitchen would mean an 800 dollar bill every month, and my teeth would turn purple.

If that situation ever comes up again, there's always companies like these

Anyone familiar with bringing grounded plants/trees in for the winter? I have two hibiscus trees that I really like, one is yellow with a twisted stem and the other is red with a straight stem. They bloom nicely but are of the tropical variety. I've read some sites that say if you pot them and leave them near a window during the winter that most of the times you'll be able to replant them next year. I don't want to go through the hassle of keeping them alive during the winter then replanting them just to find out they're dead. At worst I'm out $30 and will just get two new trees next year.

Go down in my basement to get my Eagles gear out for the season and my box of hats and shoes is covered with mold. I have a fairly large basement, anyone have any good recommendations for a dehumidifier?

[Diomedes]

Nope, sorry.  It would take a dehumidifier the size of my house to keep my basement dry.

[General_Failure]

Don't you have attic space to store clothes?

[SD]

I do but it's a pain in the ass to get to. It's in my hallway closet above 3 shelves.

Might be a cheaper solution.
