A squirrel is routinely digging up my bonsai elm and I am completely at a loss here. Do I move it inside? If so does a windowsill provide enough light?

I don't know how much light they need, but you'll need a cage and probably some nuts to feed it
One of the odd things I really meant to look into as you could not import or export bonsai in California
as there was some really nice looking ones as various yard suppliers, Some were older than a I would think [30+ years old}
Still Bonsai is one of those things I would get into as set up is just the first hurdle of the care of them. The really bonkers thing is you can get trees online from places like amazon and ebay
I like bonsai because it's something you devote far more attention to on a daily basis than most plants. There's something appealing in the idea of a plant that you care for your whole life, and may well outlast even you.

Hi people any ideas on how the o disassemble this fixture?
Usually I find the diffusing plastic will slide the the side. Or you can can just squeeze or lever the holding out, but everything feels pretty fixed in place and I don’t want to ruin it too much, (it is just the garage though so not the worst of things break)
I guess it's easy to get planning permission for home extensions approved when you're sleeping with a councillor?

FYI the difference in price between getting rid of carpenter ants and getting rid of termites is the difference in price between buying a new front door and buying a new garage door. Sigh.

:bro: Sorry you need to poison your entire home to get rid of bugs, the true heirs of our planet. That's a bad beat.
The odd thing when I was cleaning up my back yard I saw a texas spiny lizard {never seen one before} So I thought like the gila monster it was someone's pet they turned loose
But the whole area is overran with lizards from blue tailed to the spiny lizard I have seen in other areas I have seen a whip tail but I thought they avoided urban areas
The outcome of this I have not heard crickets like I usually would during the summer

Have you checked for hidden compartments? That looks like the kind of chair that would have them.

Whoa, eight hundo huh. I have this fairly nice wing back chair that we got from an estate sale. But it's a truly hideous pink. We bought a bunch of cool tropical fabric for another project and have just draped some leftover fabric over the chair. Looks good in a kind of throw together way actually. I've toyed with actually getting the chair reupholstered with the fabric, but can't really justify spending hundreds on a chair that cost me maybe twenty dollars.
My brother does want to get back into reupholstering as it was one of the things he did to pay for law school just he bemoans the quality of items people leave out
As it is a joke we would skin one of the couches leaving the covering [after he measures it} taking the frame just the only couches I have seen were rather low to the ground and tiny}

god, fucking finally
for the past four months I've been living with my mom since my old contract ran out just as the whole corona thing started in earnest
and since a month and a half ago when my furlough ended and I started getting paid again I've been looking to move out to a new place, since the old apartment is no longer available
but the rent prices gang, the rent prices
I don't get paid much, right? working for an NGO doesn't make the big bucks. after taxes, which are automatically deduced from the salary every month here, I make roughly the equivalent of $2,150-$2,300 per month
and I thought hey, national crisis, unprecedented period, surely housing prices would go down, right? or at least I might be able to find something equivalent to the place I had before?
fucking NOPE
price ranges of ~$900-~$1,600 a month for a 40m2 (430ft2 I think) hole in the wall? get the fuck out of town
I was getting desperate but today, my savior Larissa showed up on the rental websites
580 USD for a three bedroom 72m2 (775ft2) apartment, in a nice part of town, with only $87 in property tax every two months
now there's gotta be a catch here, right? and there is! whole building is going earthquake-readiness refurbishment, which is always an excuse for landlords to also spruce up their apartments
aside from the constant work on the building's outside and foundations for the next two years, they will be coming into the actual apartment at some point to add another room and expand the balcony
which will be... rough, to live through, to say the least; especially considering this new "work from home" reality
but hey, the place I'm getting, for the price? a golden goddamn ticket I am not about to turn down
and you know I'm bringing my fancy armchair with me
Anyone have any good recommendations for a wet/shop vac that fits onto those 5 gal buckets?
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Is the bucket a necessary part of the transaction? My experience has been that the shop vac motors that snap to any bucket tend to be a lot less powerful than the ones that have their own base.

I personally would recommend getting a good shop vac with its own base and just being prepared to hose it out when you're done (most of them have a drain to accommodate this).

I have a 16 (20? something around there) gallon Ridgid that I've been quite pleased with. I can't find the exact model on Amazon, I picked it up at Home Depot, but it has a very powerful motor. I've used it to pick up piles of stones and debris before. Also handles liquids well and has a drain at the base of the bucket.
Got my septic tank pumped the other day but the guy says the filter fell off and he can't retrieve it with the hose. So now I gotta buy a new filter and install it myself. I hate septic work.

Ye gods no, the sunken lounge has killed off far too many grandparents from falls. And grottos? Bacterial orgies, the lot of them!

Look, if I hadn't believed in her ability to cater to my personal interests to my satisfaction I never would have used my pen to mark her box.
I, for one, say no.

does it qualify as an armchair? It's certainly no sofa
As it is a joke we would skin one of the couches leaving the covering [after he measures it} taking the frame just the only couches I have seen were rather low to the ground and tiny}
I'd call that an armchair
I would add one then stash a flintlock pistol and a copy of the constitution in it.

It does what I need it to do. I've only had it for about 6 months but it feels like it could pick up a bowling ball.
