i had the bhyve in previous house, worked great, if i for some reason put in in ground sprinklers in this house i would use a wyze controller, mainly b/c my whole house is wyze so less apps to fuss about
I have the Orbit b-Hyve. Had it for about 4-5 years. Works well and the app is always being improved. Can't say it's better or worse than any other but when I was part-timing at Lowes and selling them, regardless of the brand, the biggest issue people had was installing them where the wifi signal was weak. Make sure you have a good signal where the controller will be.
I've never bought smartcore, but Ive done new floors in Life Proof over a few rentals and its held up extremely well. These are my own rentals, not managed ones - so it was my choice. I think the prettiest one Ive installed was the Barrington Bamboo. Super chocolate, against an ultra white, looked fantastic. Super easy to install, also. My guy wanted around 2 bucks a square foot, and Im sure thats more than fair - but fuck, I did an entire level in it in one day.
blinds are overrated, when you catch that peeping tom, confront them and make him pay for your blinds, win/win
if you need milorganite i would buy it now while it's cheap and out of season, i paid 24 for a bag, i remember paying 32 in the summer last year
My experience with evictions rarely go as far as this one did. They usually get out in that waiting period the Sheriff gives them. This one was rather drama free, though. He texted me a few minutes after I wrote that on the forum asking for more time to move his stuff out, and had to work that morning. I didnt respond as I was still annoyed at what he did. We all showed up together somehow, four deputies and myself. Of course, this habitual liar wasnt at work. As we're doing a walkthrough of the residence together, theyre joking between themselves "Oh, is this the one where "someone" impersonated the landlord?" and they were laughing and joking about it. As we go back outside, they ask when I was going to have his stuff removed. I told them that my movers will be over at 4 and all his stuff should be on the curb by 6. The ex-tenant turned to the deputy and said "I have to work this evening, can I just get my stuff tomorrow?" and the deputy asked if that was ok. Obviously, I said no. But the fact that he even told the cop he was going to work that evening, made me roll my eyes in frustration. The most satisfying bit was that while I was back at the office, my helper called me up and told me it had started raining and asked if I wanted to give him a tarp. You can guess my response.
main takeaways i've researched is soak for 24/ take out for 12, do not reuses the water (b/c it looks wasteful) but pour it away b/c seeds release toxins when germinating (or something like that) and that much concentration will kill your existing lawn.
