To the neighbor who keeps mowing the lawn barely dressed—I’ve already contacted the HOA about this.

This is a residential neighborhood, not a beach or a private backyard. I have a teenage son, and he shouldn’t have to see someone dressed like that every time he looks outside.

At this point, it’s becoming uncomfortable and honestly feels intentional. We all live close together, and a little consideration for your neighbors shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Please show some basic respect for the people around you. I’ve tried to handle this politely, but I’m not going to keep ignoring it.

I would need to verify the delivery photo due to the improbability. 😭The residence is situated far down the driveway; however, the complete order was left adjacent to the mailbox, seemingly treating it as a curbside pickup. The customer was left to haul water cases, toilet paper, detergent, and groceries over the remaining distance. Although I recognize that extensive driveways and substantial orders result in extra work for the driver, the customer paid for delivery to the house. That being said, if the order was exceptionally large and no tip was provided, the driver's frustration would be understandable. Hence, who bears more responsibility - the customer who expected this service without extra compensation, or the driver who chose to stop at the mailbox?

With less than 5,000 miles on my tire, I recently discovered a nail puncture, but my local tire shop declined to perform the repair. Is their decision justified or are they being overly cautious? I suspect they might be trying to sell me a $500 replacement tire. Before taking matters into my own hands with a plug kit, I would appreciate advice on whether this is a safe and viable solution. Should I continue shopping around for a more accommodating shop?

I am seeking objective advice on a pressing neighbor issue. Following our recent relocation, I have been operating my business from my garage and occasionally park my truck slightly on the sidewalk to prevent theft of valuable equipment. Although one neighbor initially made a polite request to move the vehicle for the sake of her children, it has since become an expectation. After my wife asked the neighbor to leave our property due to escalating demands, law enforcement has been called three times for the same issue. I feel unduly harassed and monitored, as I believe others could easily navigate around the parked vehicle. Is my perception justified, or has the neighbor's actions crossed a boundary? What course of action would be prudent in this situation?

Would you have built this fence around the tree, or handled it differently?

Apprentice carpenter here, and this one has me scratching my head a little.

The client isn’t happy because the fence had to go around the tree instead of continuing in a perfectly straight line. They say it looks “weird” and isn’t what they pictured.

But there’s a pretty obvious problem with making a straight fence here… there’s a full-grown tree directly in the way. 😅

I left enough room around the trunk for it to continue growing rather than trapping the tree against the fence. The posts are solid, the framing is level, and everything is lined up as cleanly as possible given what we were working around.

Could it look different? Sure. But cutting into the tree or forcing the fence against it doesn’t seem like a great long-term solution either.

I’m still learning, so I’m genuinely curious—would you consider this a proper way to handle a tree along the fence line, or is there a better approach I’m missing? 🌳🪚

My girlfriend has a friend who just had a patio poured, and she texted me saying they’re putting “another layer” on it tomorrow. At first I assumed it was something like stamped concrete that still needed release and sealer, but then she explained that the contractor apparently ran short on concrete and plans to add another roughly 3-inch layer on top.

She said they’re planning to use Quikrete Concrete Bonding Adhesive and add reinforcement to the new layer. I used to work for a pool installer doing flatwork, but I’m definitely not an expert on this type of repair, so I don’t want to jump to conclusions.

This is what the patio looked like at the end of the day. From the photo, the surface already looks pretty rough and uneven.

Is this a legitimate way to fix the situation, or does this sound like something that should be torn out and repoured? Looking for opinions from people with more concrete experience before she lets them proceed.

Just had this 9x16 concrete patio poured for $2,000, and now I’m wondering if I should be concerned about how it was done.

The finished slab looks decent from a distance, but I noticed some uneven areas and what looks like rippling in parts of the surface. I also didn’t see much of a gravel base or reinforcement during the prep, so I’m second-guessing whether everything was done properly.

I know it’s just a small backyard patio, but I’d like it to stay level and hold up without major cracking or settling.

For those with concrete experience, does anything in this pour or the surrounding prep stand out to you? Is this pretty normal, or would you be asking the contractor some questions? 👀

I know this is probably going to start arguments, but after months of trying to ignore it I finally ended up contacting the HOA about my neighbor.
She keeps mowing the lawn in outfits that honestly feel way too revealing for a neighborhood where kids, families, and neighbors are constantly outside.
And before people jump straight to “mind your business,” trust me, I understand people can wear whatever they want on their own property. But front yards aren’t exactly private either. Everybody driving by or walking outside ends up seeing it whether they want to or not.
I tried staying quiet because I didn’t want to become “that neighbor” who complains about everything. But after a while it honestly started feeling awkward every single time she was outside doing yard work dressed like that.
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I still think there’s a line somewhere between personal freedom and having basic consideration for the people living around you

Water in the post holes… should I be worried?

I dug these holes yesterday for 12" sonotubes, and after coming back today I found they’re about half full of water. The ground is obviously holding quite a bit of moisture, and I’m not sure if I should deal with the water before setting the tubes and pouring concrete.

Would you pump the water out and let the holes dry, or is there a proper way to pour when there’s standing water down there?

I was also wondering about putting a garbage bag or similar liner at the bottom of the sonotube to keep the concrete from mixing with the muddy water.

What would you guys do in this situation? I’d rather handle it correctly now than have problems with the footings later. Any advice from people who’ve poured sonotubes in wet conditions would be appreciated. 👀
