    I made some beef stew last night, and I'm ready to use the various peels to add to my plants outside. I have a purple Clematis, Daffodils, Hydrangeas, Tulips, Hyacinths, and my tiny Annuals are starting to pop up>>>> my Chamomile; Marigolds; and so much more. It would also be interesting to know about medicinal plants and how these were determined or discovered to provide cures for specific symptoms (trial and error?). That would be interesting to learn about.

    Hi Carla, with all the scams going on, can you maybe provide a webinar on how we as homeowners can get ripped off by companies, handymen, roofers, etc "professional scammers," and then discuss the legal resources available for us to have the scammers fulfill their promises or provide a refund. Thank you so much.

The previous videos from this channel on spalling/efflorescence with local experts were great, something like that for those of us in flood zones would be much appreciated. This webinar was a nice "big picture" but I would like to see more videos getting in the weeds. Thanks!

    It’s not that filling in motor gaps is wrong, it’s far cheaper. Only 30 seconds before the end, does the guy say repointing is labor intensive. My guess to do that bungalow is $60,000 to $75,000 with cutting, chiseling and reapply new mortar.

    • @carla2601
      @carla2601 10 місяців тому

      You'll want that junction to be more flexible and not crack under stress, so a brick mortar caulk is recommended vs. a mortar. The caulk will make the joint waterproof and weatherproof. Just keep an eye on it because you'll have to replace it once it begins to deteriorate as with any caulk.
