Hmm... since we just got our sewer line cleaned I'm wondering if I should wait until there is a bit more growth before applying this stuff or just do it now?

Here's the foaming root killer I'm going to try: http://amzn.to/1OsJgub The reviews are really good and I'm hoping it will keep the roots away. For $20 every 6 - 12 months, it's hopefully going to be a great pro-active fix!

We have a sycamore that's right by the sewer line, but people say it's probably also the mulberry that's a bit further away, but known to be terrible with aggressive roots.

Thanks for the great reply! Yes, it's tree roots getting into the sewer line that drains from our house to the main city sewer line. We definitely don't want to cut down the trees,especially since we're not sure exactly which ones might be causing the problem. I think we're going to have to...

Every year our old terracotta sewer line gets plugged with tree roots and we have to have it rootered out. A huge mess, super inconvenient, and costly. I hear radio ads for trenchless re-piping and was wondering if anybody has had it done? A few years ago I got a bunch of general quotes. They...

Great to see you here! Looking forward to updates and pics of your work!

Thanks @Joel_BC !!! I've been very happy with our purchase and now that we're on the "E-6" rate (time-of-use plan) we can sell power to PG&E for high rates during the middle of the day and then buyback power when it's cheaper. We work hard in the house to wait to do laundry, dishwasher, etc...

This was interesting... I was looking at my data on my solar panels and I kept seeing this one panel consistently under-performing compared to the rest. I of course know that different panels have different efficiencies from during manufacturing, but this one had never been a problem before...

Fantastic post!

Great update post Joel!! You made some excellent points and asked some thought-provoking questions! We do work really hard to maintain a certain tone here on SS. Does that tone discourage some "types" of men? Maybe it encourages others? Do a lot of men tend to look for a "mostly" male...

A great new feature is in-line partial quoting! Highlight some text and you'll be able to just quote / reply with that bit! Here's a video that shows how to use a COOL new feature:

New Poll Options There are a number of new options and controls when you create a new poll: Polls are no longer limited to one or multiple choices. The creator can now control exactly how many responses a user can select. If they select the maximum amount, the other options will...

We've updated the site to the newest software! There are a lof of changes behind the scenes (better spam and user management and other stuff), but here are some things that y'all will notice: Online status indicator on messages Another very common suggestion was to indicate if a user is online...

Oh fantastic! Water heater leaked and flooded the floorboards! Can't wait to see how bad the damage is.

Hey @TMulhern, great to have you here!

That's really odd that happened! Especially because this software automatically saves replies (about every minute or so) in the event that you In fact, to test it, I refreshed the page and the text above was still there saved, but in gray:
