May not matter too much, but my mower is an X570. I am doing some routine maintenance, so I have the mower deck detached and rolled out. I'll clean it all off, but while there, are there any lubrication points I should hit since it is fully accessible? Obviously, keep away from pulley grooves and the inner side of belts :--)
Listing/selling my home soon and just found out the HOA the home is in will be charging about $1000 for various low- or no-value value services & inspections.
Are all of these legal or mandatory? Can I refuse or challenge any of them? I mean realistically or practically, not from a Reddit-addled mindset.
The breakdown appears to be the following:
-- Standard resale package is $340 (includes a resale certificate, and governing documents, which are available free on the HOA website).
-- A $250 covenant compliance inspection performed by the property manager. (My understanding is that part of their day-to-day job covered by my regular HOA dues is to ensure all properties are in compliance?)
-- A fee of $46 to a third party (Homewise) that facilitates processing of all of this. They noted Homewise may still charge additional fees...lol.
-- At closing I'll be charged $100 for "capital contribution."
-- At closing I'll be charged a transfer fee of $250.
Total = $986!
I have been using Windscribe with the Wireguard protocol on a Wi-Fi connection for many years on my Windows 11 PC. I recently enabled Ethernet on this machine but am immediately having issues with several protocol connections. It finally connects with TCP protocol.
As far as I can tell, there's nothing specific that is either blocking traffic or allowing only specific traffic, e.g. "allow all" is checked, and options like "guest network" or "isolate network" are not checked.
Is there any place in set-up or configuration I should specifically check? For the record, this is a simple home setup, very vanilla, with nothing unique or unusual involved in my equipment or networking needs.
I have pretty bad rain/runoff water drainage issues on one side of my home. I'll need a real expert, not just someone who can dig a trench and toss a black plastic drainpipe in it, to come assess the issues I have and provide solutions, but simply asking via various Facebook contactor groups is generally a waste of time with all the useless one-line responses.
So how can I go about finding a real contractor for this? Are they generally licensed specifically for this type of work, like electricians or plumbers or home inspectors? If I have to use the internet, how can I separate the snake oil salesmen from the real McCoy?
I have a side entry door to my garage and over time this 4 ft x 4 ft x 6 in concrete stoop has moved about 8 inches laterally and 3 inches out/away from door threshold. It's a nice piece of work and I'd really rather have it moved back into place rather than just have it demo'd and repoured.
So hoping to locate a person or company with experience to push, pull, or lift it back into its original place. If that's you or someone you know, please let me know...feel free to DM me if you want.

Over time this 4 ft x 4 ft x 6 in concrete stoop has moved about 8 inches laterally and 3 inches out from door threshold. It's a nice piece of work and I'd really rather figure out how to move it back into place rather than just have it demo'd and repoured. It is just not clear to me what best way to push, pull, or lift it back into its original place would be. Note it is not in a position that makes it trivial to put some sort of lifting rig over it. Also, pavers & white rock at screen left would be removed first.
Any thoughts?
My rooms are newly painted Agreeable Gray (SW7209). I would like to match a carpet color from this product line and palette from Mohawk Flooring EverStrand/Tonal Chic I, but I have zero game when it comes to decorating and matching colors.
This is a typical Dallas-area single-level tract home (if you are familiar with...i.e. builder-quality blandish. Carpeting will be throughout (living, office, and bedrooms). Pretty good lighting, both internal and natural. The trim is white.
My main concern is too dark of a choice for what is a slightly darker neutral paint color (i.e. SW7209 is a non-beige, non-off-white paint selection).
I realize there may be a lot of variety of opinions. If you are a professional, what would you recommend to a client?
I would like to get the interior of my PLANO home repainted. I would prefer PLANO area local individuals or PLANO area locally owned and operated companies.
I recently (a week or so ago) installed a 2nd anti-virus/anti-malware software for "2nd opinion" purposes, since I typically am comfortable with Windows Defender. Today while reviewing my Virus Threat & Protection area, I noticed that Windows Defender had been disabled, so I clicked on the slide button to reenable it. Then, just a little while ago, I wanted to go make sure it was still enabled but was unable to access the exact same Settings panel I just had accessed earlier. I have uninstalled 2nd AV package and rebooted, but VT&P panel still does not display. (see snip of display below).
I've no idea what happened or how to reverse/reset or why Windows thinks my Home/Personal PC has an IT administrator (I am the only administrator account) or IT help desk.
It looks like I will need to edit/modify something in the registry or group policy editor. I am comfortable with those tools but not sure what/where to start looking. I'll see if AI can help me along, but in the meantime, if anyone knows what needs to be reset, I'd appreciate the pointer.

So many choices/SKUs :--/
I have a 25-year-old home in north Dallas, TX, and sprinkler system has seen better days. I have a ~2' x ~11' strip of garden bed supplied by a single 29" riser. The bed has 5 hostas (yellow circles). The (original) spray nozzle does not really cover the area evenly; not sure if it ever did, actually.
If I were planning for long term, I'd probably make this area fed by a drip hose or at least add a second head/riser on the other end of strip, but I am planning on listing home for sale in near future and so not interested in any significant modifications or upgrades to system, even if it is considered "easy."
There are a lot of choices for nozzle replacement, so it's a tad confusing. Given the situation as outlined above, please suggest a nozzle replacement (make/model/SKU). Thanks.
Are any of these needed or useful, or can I delete/disable them?
I have a Bosch 300 series dual-fuel range/stove, model HDI8056U, that I have converted to propane. One of the burners has the wrong orifice (the folks that installed the conversion kit said one of the orifices was missing…sigh). I can’t for the life of me find a replacement online, but apparently these models all ship with the LP/propane conversions kits. So since I assume the majority of these get hooked up to LNG/natural gas, there are likely a lot of LP conversion kits out there that are unlikely to ever be used.
If you happen to have one you are willing to part with for a reasonable price, please let me know.

I have Bosch range that was converted over to propane. Not sure w/why, but one of the burners ended up with wrong orifice (I think others are OK?). But finding just the single orifice I need seems to be an insurmountable challenge. Documentation indicates a 1.09 mm orifice, for model HDI8054U, but not much else. Bosch.com and Bosch customer support are useless for this, and typical internet searching, as well as Amazon yielded no meanigful help other than expensive kits.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to where I might be able to get this specific, single orifice?
