Mini raised bed #3
  • Yeah. Hand watering takes so so long. I'm really trying to reduce the amount of hand water required this year. I'm looking to do drip tubing and drip micro tubing, but still researching my options. I've been asking everyone I know. Most people use a bit of everything (hand watering, sprinklers, drip/soaker hose, etc.)

  • Mini raised bed #3
  • What's your watering situation? You've posted so many lovely raised beds and potted plants all across your property. Are you using soaker hose everywhere or is it some type of drip tubing? I'm about to redo our water and just looking at options. Right now I'm leaning towards drip tubing...

  • Proxmox on NUC8I5BEH
  • Try adding a HDMI dummy plug. Older Intel NUC's (8th gen and earlier) have an issue that's fixed (but always seems to come back...) where they don't like functioning headlessly (without a display connected.)

    Edit: Also, make sure your BIOS is uptodate.

    I think you're doing great encouraging engagement. Keep it up. Fire is a hard topic to drive engagement because it's so personal to everyone and everyone's lives are so different. Back to basic's could bring in people unfamiliar with fire.

  • Foundation advice
  • The house is not occupied and there is access to the crawlspace.

    My main concern is that I'm not sure a concrete foundation can be built underneath the house. Since it has the addition which a concrete foundation, the house cannot be lifted. The weight bearing concrete would have to be built upto the level of the house...which I'm not sure is possible.

    A basement would be amazing.

  • Foundation advice
  • Well...except to meet code for wood foundation you must use treated wood (usually treated with some kind of copper arsenic) which is not great for the environment (both the production and usage).

    Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

    Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

    I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

    Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

    Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.
