The Home Ownership Thread

Leaky rooftop deck and neighboring the place with the "Geaux Tigers" banners hanging from their balconies..

At least LSU kind of sucks now so less bandwagon fans.

Repeat again, slowly, why your daughters are doing this…

Hydrangea can't decide what color it wants to be.

interestingly, the color of hydrangea bloom is a really sensitive indicator the acidity of the supporting soil . thereyago

The more colors, the more acid? Groovy…

I love the ones that end up having different color flowers on the same plant because of soil pH differences. Always looks cool.

It cannot be said her fiancé has not been warned.

that bloom is really terrific .

an interesting tidbit : i'd collected some blossoms of wild radish , which does the same thing so far as ph and varies from like purple to lavender to blue to white , super duper common western weed



and brewed a sample dye bath for some wool scraps . i added vinegar as a matter of course and the color tilted to the more intense purple . it didn't really matter i think what color the blossoms were in the dye bath , but it would be interesting i suppose to see if it made a diff ...

so i went and added a bit of baking soda to a later batch and of course it went the other way , i got the sample to a yellow iirc . so those organic compounds can be influenced off the plant even , very sensitive indeed .

Just learned that roofers and shingle manufacturers probably won't warranty your roof if it's on plank decking. You have to overlay sheets. So that's probably another $5k+ when we reroof. I wonder if you need to do the same with a metal roof. If not that might be the most economical long term.

We had a cedar roof and it made sense to have planking underneath (breathing/drying of shingles) but it was a cost that was added when we reroofed a few years back. I feel better having plywood up there under my asphalt shingles.

Looks like you also need plywood with a metal roof nowadays. No idea why.
