Solid cast, love Mark Strong.
Looks like they did a good job of capturing the tone of the movies.
I'm looking forward to this. ...

re: Do mosquito foggers work?
Posted by DukeSilver on 5/13/24 at 9:07 am
Looks like using a fogger with telstar would cover all insects as well? You wouldn't need to use a pest control company anymore?
Do you fog your whole yard? Like landscaping and grass and all? Along with the exterior of your home? How often do you have to apply it? ...
re: New details emerge on new The Office series and its plot/setting
Posted by DukeSilver on 5/8/24 at 12:44 pm
Honestly just sounds like a different show that's going to use the same interview style like The Office and Parks and Rec and they're just using The Office name and "universe" to help with hype.
I'll give it a chance. ...

re: Pavers with turf between for back patio
Posted by DukeSilver on 5/1/24 at 4:20 pm
[quote]I'd go larger at least 48"x48" and instead of using pavers, do a pour.
At least that's my recommendation.[/quote]
This is what I'm planning.
Larger "pavers" but just pouring concrete instead. Then using turf instead of real grass. Should be almost no maintenance at all.
I'm not ...

Damn 4' deep seems wild to me.
Is it 100% cinder block or is the firebox area a kit?
Good price and looks great.

Do you recall how thick the section of the slab below the fireplace was?
Your looks great, but from my research and calling around for pricing on what I'll need I think I can get the whole thing done for $1,800, I plan o...

re: DIY Outdoor fireplace

Yeah those costs do not include the veneer.
Not sure if I'd go stone or thinbrick, but that'd be an additional cost.
Based on cinder blocks being 25 lbs, I figured just the structure not including the veneer would be roughly 3500. Then add mortar and veneer and anything missed and call it ...

Anyone ever built one?
Was thinking of purchasing [link=(https://www.backyardflare.com/pages/plan-details/pima_ll.html)]these plans[/link], tells you exactly the materials required and has step by step instructions. Building one doesn't seem complicated, but for $40 having the plan seems like a ...

Nice, the battery on my greenworks blower/trimmer has gone out and I was going to buy a new battery but this brand new combo is damn near the same price as a battery.
Curious about reviews, I'm going to scoop it if they're good. ...

Oaks better than maples?...
re: Shumard red oak
Posted by DukeSilver on 4/2/24 at 12:54 pm
Look to be roughly the same size as the Shumard?
So main benefit would be leaf clean up in the winter?
And if I decided to go a bit smaller than a Shumard/Willow Oak, anyone have any other recommendations?
Thoughts on the Autumn Blaze Red maple or even a Bald Cypress for a Texas backyar...

[quote]Willow oak will make less mess regarding leaf drop but won’t have that bright red fall color. If you really want an oak then Willow could be a better option.[/quote]
Looks like Willow Oak's lose their leaves as well, what makes them less messy than the Shumard?

re: Shumard red oak
Posted by DukeSilver on 4/2/24 at 9:03 am
For those that don't think there is room or wouldn't want to bother with the leaves, what would you recommend?
I was also considering an Autumn Blaze Maple, like the look of those and are supposed to be one of the fastest growing maples. ...
