What did you accomplish today?

Lol. Yes. They look like a typical marijuana plant. There's a website that has an entire forum devoted to them that has pics. I've posted a few over the past 11 years.

My needs are modest. I'll never grow indoors. But I have a nice balcony which works fine.
Gee thanks for the broad link that I asked you personally about.

Oh shit. Don't worry I got you

You indicated you've never seen an outdoor auto. I directed you to a source where you can see them, including mine.

Now this appears to be about me, personally. No other outdoor auto will satisfy you. Story of my life.

Did I mention this is awkward?

I checked the pics, nice. I've never seen an auto except wild types in natural situ pics in text books. How big can they get?
Thanks Malt. They get huge judging by what I've seen other members post. Particularly indoors when you run the lights 24/0. I like to keep mine stealthy and below my balcony rail. 1 or 2 plants a season gives me several ounces and I'm good. Not including the stuff whatsherface sends me of course.

Looks good bro. Very clean site .

At first glance I was like “ I wonder how drunk was he when he put those batter boards up “ because they looked like they are leaning way over, but then in the second pic I can clearly see that is not the case. Lol it’s late and I’ve really smoked a lot this afternoon but I shouldn’t be this blind.

Is it hard to dig and watch for rattlers at the same time. When I was building house’s every day and we were in rattler infested areas, going into the crawl space was a spooky thing j/s.

Good luck with the house and know I’m there with you in spirit. Peace brother.

About 3’ difference in grade, most likely an optical illusion. My same buddy on that excavator(operator by trade) wanted to dozer in a flat building pad. That would have been cool, but there’s only like 1’ top soil max. Some spots less and is why the footings aren’t cleaner. Was kinda shitty cleaning them up yesterday but got it done.
I decided to go with the vapor barrier on the ground route under there. Less vents, only 4, and should make it way better for when I’ll have to crawl in there down the road. Gonna buy a good access door here soon. One through the stem wall. Hopefully no snakes get in.

Yard is cleaned up after 2 days, they have to put down some top soil over the hole and plant grass.

Still a lot of work to do, but it's going in the right direction. And my insurance agent has a sweet deal with the tree guys and said I may not have to pay a penny of the $1000 deductible, getting back to me on Monday.

They are coming back to do roof repairs after getting shingles and supplies, I have to get my own interior work people. I didn't offer to do anything myself being it's an insurance claim.

So today, all afternoon, I waited patiently for Comcast to come and put up a new cable line. I called them yesterday and scheduled for today after 12 noon to be sure we had enough time to get power restored first. The girl said between 12 noon and 7PM which sounded real strange. It's usually a 2 hour window.

By 6:35 nobody showed up and I called Comcast again. Another girl answered and I asked what's up with the delay here?

She said that they rescheduled for tomorrow and they could come either AM or PM. So I'm starting to get a tad upset and asking why the hell it was rescheduled and why couldn't they have called me and why can't they give me a two hour window like they always did before?

She says that I still have service. I told her the cable was severed by a falling tree just like I told the other girl the day before. Then she says that her report indicates I still have service.

I tell her I was very specific that the line was down from a severe storm and she says, 'oh, you mean down on the ground?'

WTF do these idiots think a line is down means?

So then, I'm on hold for 17 fucking minutes while she changes the work order and says they will be there tomorrow between 12 and 2 for sure this time.

I hate calling Comcast for anything, their phone people are horrible to deal with. And they aren't cheap. The service guy always says they know the phone people suck so tomorrow I'm going to try to get the guy's card so I can bypass their ridiculous "help" desk the next time.

Then I get a robocall from Comcast about rating the call I just completed, but you can't rate yesterday's idiot so I just hung up. They suck. The service guy lives a mile away and I know he does cable work on the side. I'm going to be real friendly tomorrow. From 6 feet away, of course.

He hooked a ladder right to the main cable line, kind of surprised me. And he spliced right into it so the new line comes right over the former location of the house attacking tree.

And...

I got a direct tech support number that bypasses computer stupidity and the first wave of idiots :wink:.

Still have issues with Comcast that can only be resolved at an Xfinity store. The bill still comes in my mother's name even though I filled out papers and turned in a hard copy of the death certificate over 4 years ago.

The guy told me what to take and which store to go to that isn't run by 3rd party employees. And what to tell them.

I'll have to mask up and go there this coming week. He also told me the have had zero positive tests among the work crews for the virus. They wear masks upon entering the house to check connections, whole thing took 25 minutes and 5 more to reboot everything.
