It’ll find a way to rain in CLT tomorrow, as I will be at the KISS concert!!??????
 
Maybe he’ll go with a warm winter forecast, and we will all score a cold and snowy, roof collapsing winter!??9A894A17-10E0-41AA-ADAC-95635A668D7E.png
 
So after watching my sodded front yard continue to wilt away after the rain the last 2 weeks I decided to take a shovel to it and see what was wrong. After losing the battle vs the ground with the shovel I broke out an axe and finally got into the ground and realized the builder put down clay to level the lot and then packed it in. So long story short I'm not getting root growth from the centipede sod and the inch of sandy loam stuff they put on top isn't holding moisture. Now my first thought is to take my tiller and just blow the whole thing up and start over but according to my hoa guidelines that's frowned upon. My second thought is to get a core aerator and take out as much as I can but the clay is at least 4 inches deep so I'm not going to get down to the original soil that was on the lot. I also considered top dressing with a topsoil/compost mix but that isn't going to solve the issue that lies below. Anyone have any ideas? Push comes to shove I'll probably just till it and either sod or seed then play dumb with the hoa

OPTION 3 OR CONTACT THE BUILDER AND SEE IF HE WILL MAKE IT RIGHT

Or Option 4, let it die. Im glad I dont have a HOA as them and I would not get along. I wouldnt like them telling me what I can and cannot do on property I pay taxes on.

Im actually having to water my field to keep grass growing for the goats.

THIS IS TRUE. IM GLAD I LIVE IN THE STICKS AND CAN BASICALLY DO AS I PLEASE
 
Sod ain’t cheap! I’d contact builder also. Your easiest fix would be skid steer and scrape off the compacted clay, then top dress with 4” of topsoil/compost, sod in the fall, with Bermuda ! Poop HOA
You’d be wasting time trying anything, with a 4” base of compact clay, IMO

I’ve got one, can’t park on street, can’t park in your own grass! WTF!
I just park in the street until I get 3 letters, then park on grass!??! Rinse, repeat
 
Go with one of those Phoenix rock lawns. All you have to worry about is occasionally spraying for weeds and then erosion every few thousand years or so.

My neighbor tried contacting the builder, they came out with a couple of shovels dug up the dead and put down rye grass seed. His yard looks like the Sahara now. I was thinking about having someone come in and take the clay out and replacing with topsoil but I get worried about it not being graded properly and water flowing back under my concrete slab.

Just water the cactus every couple of months, and you're good!
 
Since that short break where it was pure bliss outside in the evenings, it's been pure misery outside when I've gone walking and I try to go as close to sundown as I can. I'm so ready to be done with that.
 
Maybe I’m the rain shield?? I’m in Charlotte, get a down pour at home from a rogue storm! 95 and dry here!AB80EE48-6F38-43E7-958B-CCAEB2DD0EB0.png
 
Another day, another grass wetter while areas all around get nailed. Definitely have some sort of microdrought affecting the area as you can see that storms reforming around my area.
 
The Braves bullpen is the worst in history of baseball. It’s amazing how bad they ALL are. Just get a freakin out!!!

It's getting very old watching games slip away and no real closer. Greene sucks and they should of gotten Kimbrel instead of Keuchel.

Well from a statistics standpoint their previous numbers say this crap can’t last forever

Greene had a .181 BABIP which is abnormally low, Melancon had elite years in the past but is over the hill (decent but not great now), and Martin, idk. The other night he didn't look like a guy that hits his spots to a 1 or less BB/9 (and for that matter, yung Mike oddly looked a lot like the same for 2 innings tonight before resolving it).

This is just sad. The starting pitching mostly resolved themselves and has been fine for months but the relief pitching is like at least a 7.7 ERA since the break now and nearing 9 since the deadline. It's worse than April and just....idk.

I'd say go pure matchup but you have 8 guys not even performing averagely.
 
I've got today's solution. Just crush Noesi and have Folty go 7 innings 1 run. Tomlin or Weigel pitch the rest. Score double figures again and win 10-4 or so.

On Monday, Freddie calls a team meeting with the bullpen and just stares at them with a death stare for 15 minutes, then says "This is unacceptable, we need more from all of you or we don't even have a chance in close games."

Profit. He called a team meeting after collapsing against Boston last year in September and it worked.

Yep, the Dogers are a formidable foe, but if the bull-pen gets its' act together, the Braves might have a chance. Maybe a wild-card team can take them out before we have to face them in the post-season. I haven't looked at possible match-ups yet.

I needed this on this hell of a day. Note this was Feb 2014. The last time I saw more then a T of snow. We also have a storm 5 days later that was just as beautiful.

What about December 2017?

What about it? I got nothing from that storm but 32.6 rain.

Wow! talk about a cutoff, given the 8-12" amounts in the NW part of the metro.

Even I got 1" of snow from it (and then I got about 3" with a post-frontal event that following January).

Yea the cutoff was amazing in a bad way. That snow/ rain line stopped about 10 miles to my west and didn’t move. We seriously have 32.4-33.0 rain for about 6 hrs. So I’m desperate for snow.
