Protect your trees from the Lantern
by Linda Flower 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Taking a very slow step behind the springy lantern fly works best. But they are also laying eggs now. You can put a sticky strap around your trees to protect them (they like to crawl up), and scrape off & burn the greenish masses if you see any. How can such beauty be so bad.

Handy-person suggestions, please, for door off hinges
by Becky Slemmons 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hello, neighbors. The hinge-screw holes to one of the original wooden doors in our 1910 home have stripped themselves so that the hinge no longer holds the door to the doorframe. It's only the top hinge that has the problem. The bottom hinge is solid. Looks like this is the second un-doing with holes from previous screws adjacent, too! (Photo below.) Looking for handy-person to take on this small job. Suggestions, please! Warnings welcome, too. Much thanks, Becky

Countertop samples to view?
by tazio shirbert.com 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hello neighbors! I am thinking about replacing a countertop in my kitchen. I am currently favoring using a stone composite material, such as Corian. Does anyone know of anywhere (besides Home Depot) that has a nice selection of samples on site for viewing? Also, anyone have good or bad opinions on this material, and installers? We’d love to hear some feedback! Thank you, Tazio Hilbert Sent from my iPhone
