I don’t prep the soil under a raised bed. These blocks from the Home Depot make it easy to anchor the corners and slip 2x6 boards into.

We offered 5% more than asking and wrote a letter. We met the seller, and she told us the deciding factor to take our offer was that my wife was an educator as was the seller’s father. I believe there were offers for more than 5% over, but she took ours.

Have you ever seen a cake cutter? It’s just a big fork. Biscuits split better with a fork, too.

Funny!

I put Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides, pop it into the bag, and cook at 129 degrees for 2 hours. Sear with a weed torch (Harbor Freight), and serve sizzling. Butter is optional at the table. I’ll try putting chives into the bag.  Sous vide is dead simple. 

Not only that, but the left handed pruner is using a right handed tool. He’ll probably get the job done but be more frustrated doing it.

I can see the labels quickly expanding and overlapping other labels.

The pruning technique illustrated is the poor technique of leaving stems sticking out from the main branch.  Always prune back to the main branch. 

I’m in the greys on The Root, but...

It’s been a long time since I was sliding on the grass, but as I recall, “grass stains” do not come from grass. They came from weeds, like clover, growing in the grass.  I suppose there are different kinds of grasses, so maybe it was just the grass in our neighborhood. 

What dress code rules will the governors’ usurp next? Short skirts? Mustaches? Open toed shoes?  Maybe the president should make local decisions for us.  Or the United Nations. 

Could they be suggesting we remove all our non-lawn landscaping and replace it with...LAWN?

According to the DIY builder folks on YouTube, don’t use caulk in a shower or bathtub. Instead use 100% silicone which, supposedly, will not turn black. Silicone sealer is used in fish aquariums, so maybe there is something to this idea. 

In college back in the 70s we built an aeroplane that had wooden ribs on the wings. We glued the pieces of rib together using urethane glue. We moistened one side of the wood and applied glue to the other, nailed the pieces down so they wouldn’t move, and let it set. We tested several samples and the glue joints never…

I have a question, and I’m a new Win 10 Home user.  I have always assumed that ransomware bad guys were after bigger fish and would leave Win Home users alone; however, you never know.  So if I had my computer encrypted and someone tried to put ransomware on my computer, would their software immediately become…

This sounds like an extended opportunity for the antivaxxers to receive their Darwin Awards. 

Back in the 70s my wife and I saw the word misspelled, and forever afterward found excuses to say, vie OH luh.

My understanding is that if the word references music, then it is for TAY.  For all other applications, it is FORT. 

People who find this odd probably never dipped french fries into a milkshake.

I mostly concur with method 3 but you only need enough water to make steam. One inch works for me.
