How do I fix this space that is a mosquito breeding ground

This is under out back deck that faces west. Not pictured is the “back”, a retaining wall that allows some mud in, then the retaining wall on the right side which is quite a bit more mud proof.

It’s brick with clay underneath which matches the patio I’m standing on. But every time I move something in this corner, dozens of mosquitoes scatter everywhere. The rest of our yard and patio drain pretty effectively so it’s pretty frustrating having this one section.

The moment you realize your morning reading was written by a super villain

Harland Bartholomew, more than practically anyone in St Louis history, is responsible for the destruction of the city core, implementing some of the most racist and elitist policy frameworks that our communities are still reeling from today. If you have a highway in your backyard splitting your neighborhood or wonder why we tore down 10Ks of historic homes and buildings, you can thank this guy.

Rough cost to do the 25sq ft pictured?

I have a contractor that quadrupled their soft quote and I want to be sure before I call them out on pricing.

We formerly had bead board on these walls. We didn't have to go down to the lathe, there was a solid scratch coat on most of the wall. I'm not sure they even did a brown coat, all the work was completed in one day.

'I've just ruined their lives': Nashville bar owner's property tax bill soars from $129K to $589K

"With no income tax, Tennessee can seem like an attractive option for American families — and businesses — looking to lower costs. However, as the Financial Times reports, a resulting boom in the state's capital, has driven up sales and property tax. "

The Neighborhoods Residents Are Dying to Reach
