Comments (14)thanks for the info, everyone. I've been giving it lots of drinks. It is less hot today and looking less sickly. hoovb, thanks for posting the photos of your beautiful trees. They are huge, and I wasn't aware they get that big. I'm pretty annoyed that my landscape designer would put it there knowing this gets big. Here's a wider shot of the front. As you can see, the fern tree is right next to the garage, so we have to back our car out right next to it. My car already sort of brushes up against it when I back out. I'm in agreement with you all it needs moved. Any thoughts on what we should replace it with? Something that has some height? The spot gets mostly shade/dappled sun....See MoreThis one just burns me up! Seriously. I'm angry
Comments (20)In fairness, this isn't JUST kids these days, I realize that. Evil, and I agree that's what it is, has been around, well, since the beginning of time. This type of thing has happened 50, 75, 100 years ago and for that matter before that too. I remember my Dad telling stories about the history of certain farms in the area, where one murdered their spouse and they could smell something for miles around. They found her body in the attic in the hot summertime weather. I won't go into more details that he told me! That said, this one just got under my skin. I wanted to warn people before reading about it. It's a newspaper article so it's pretty toned down, but still, I was appalled and angry doesn't describe it. I just wish one of the neighbors had a gun or a baseball bat and went over and laid a pile of wood on them. THESE THINGS JUST GET TO ME! Forgive me, but it just does. I very seldom get irate over things, but injustice is one thing that sets me off. For those who didn't read the article, the fellow apparently is doing OK. Last I heard he had another operation on his brain over the weekend to remove pressure and buildup and last I heard, he's doing "well" under the circumstances. And they have the 15 & 16 yo suspects in custody. One caught in the yard and the other hiding in the garage under a car. Too bad they didn't go la-de-da-de-da-da, start up the car and go for a drive over a speedbump. For the one in the yard, well K9s gotta eat too. I don't think I've been this worked up since Katie Poirier was kidnapped and killed a few years back. Even in as bad shape as I was in, I tried to volunteer to help in the search. Couldn't but what really got me going on that one was she was a c-store employee and it was one of my biggest fears when I managed stores. Briefly, for those who don't know, Katie was a 19 yo convenience store clerk who was abducted by a 51 yo. Lots of coverage on the internet. Why it happens or where it comes from? Who knows? It started as a robbery (one said essentially he knew an easy target) and I somehow suspect there was either an ego trip or fear of getting caught. Maybe they didn't expect him to be home, I don't know. Dottie I have a nice tree, anyone have a rope and a horse? I agree with you. What good are they to themselves or society? Except for veterinary experiments. These things make me sick. Incidently he was active in crime prevention in his area and without a doubt it saved his life and caught the punks quickly. A neighbor saw them breaking in and called the police. So all I ask is get involved! Some way. Any way you can. Maybe you can't walk a patrol, but watch out your windows, be alert to something that doesn't look right. And most importantly, call the police if it doesn't look right. Don't be afraid you might have it wrong - far better to be wrong than to be too late. And the police will tell you that too. Maybe if you don't see or hear from an elderly, or hey, even a single neighbor, give a checkup call and say hi. And if you're not moving around much, give a call and let someone know all is well. I'm guilty of not knowing all of my neighbors as well as I should. But this one probably is going to be the incentive to change that. Stay safe. And use seome telepathy to dearly departed to throw an extra log on the fire for when these two, and all like them, arrive....See MoreHow to keep T1-11 wood siding from looking like this after painting??
Comments (16)I suspect your only hope at this point is shellac, but the problem is that you have so many coats on that you have to start worrying that some of those coats are going to have adhesion problems and everything above it going to fail. I would personally hit it with a pressure washer and then wire brush any areas that even hint at adhesion problems. Then hit it with a shellac based primer. There is a saying that shellac sticks to everything and everything sticks to shellac, so that will give you the best chance at a tannin blocking primer, which you can topcoat over....See Moreci_lantro
