PSA: If you are trying to sell anything BRZ related on Facebook

These mofos don't understand the "if it aint broke, don't fix it" saying. If you search "brz" it will go to "braz" try explaining that to your partner lol. If selling anything probably just add GR86.

Succulent was part of floral arrangement, trying to grow it

About a month ago we got a floral arrangement and this little guy is the only one that still hasn't wilted. I saw it has some roots so figured I should leave it in water. Just want to ask if this is the right way to do this or if i should do something else to keep it alive and plant it. Thanks! Light

Want to build a deck over pavers, could use advice

My plan is to get rid of the circled spot and replace it as a door into a deck. It would be built over the pavers. I was thinking of using foundation blocks over the pavers, is this a bad idea? If not should I take pavers out and build a concrete base? Should I install a weed barrier below? The gate will likely be removed and stairs built to get in that way with a gate. The fence itself may be moved in the future so not worried about that. I was also thinking of building a ledger straight into the concrete walls (white below siding). Is that the best way forward? The wood inside the porch needs to be replaced so I want to do this as part of that project. I want to get advice from you, the experts, before I post my screw up.

Booking Delta through flying blue (KLM/Air France)

Hello, I want to take advantage of a 20% chase points transfer offer. In addition it is 6k points cheaper (you do have to pay some cash, not a lot). I am just curious, when booked through flying blue, can I add the flight to my delta account? For example, can I do upgrades through the app and get the boarding passes on the app? I've done code sharing before on AA through Iberia and I was simply able to contact AA to have it added. My other question (and I saw a post here but it's 3 years old), am I able to get delta miles while booking through flying blue? Thank you!

It is the entrance to the backyard from pavers, it used to be a mulch bed, I half assed lazy it put some rocks and a stone and called it a day. Obviously it looks like crap. I wanted to level it out with the pavers by using a tiller and then stamping it leveled.

I am looking into recommendations on how to deal with after that. It is the dogs main entrance so pebbles are probably a bad idea. I was thinking of installing the paver a bit below the level and putting grass over it. Problem is I expect the dogs to destroy that bit of grass. Not sure if there are any better ideas, leveling is a must since taking the mower through there is a bit annoying. I could also add more pavers if that makes sense.

I regret not doing them when we moved in and have been tempted to redo them...my biggest concern is the living room which appears to have been completely painted black probably 20-50 years ago (house is 100 years old). My thought was to rip everything out and inspect them better but I was thinking of hiring a professional after that. Sorry for bad pics, part is under carpet, the rest under old laminate. Not sure if it's cheaper to do redo them or just put engineered hardwood over them, there is a portion that used to be the front porch which would need new wood (part of why I am leaning towards getting a pro to do this. I am worried that it might be lead paint which is why I haven't ripped it out yet. Also another point for a pro. Do you guys think it's cheaper to redo these or do engineered hardwood?
