Just moved into a new rental and it seems like this tree has not been taken care of a pruned at all in a very long time. It looks like a maple tree to me but I might be wrong I am not an expert. I went through it today and took out some of the completely dried and dead branches and basically twigs. Almost all the stuff in the picture you see you will snap with very little effort. Just looking for advice on how to try to prune in the healthiest way possible to encourage upward growth and a better shape overall. We are planning on living in this house for at least the next few years and I enjoy doing this kind of stuff I just am new to it and Google is very difficult to decipher with all of the different ways that I have read. Located in Sonoma county California USA. Currently on a sprinkler that goes 15 minutes every 3 days. But I can change that if needed.

Title says it all. Windows push open and then just immediately close without being held open. We have been using books etc to keep them open but looking to get some hardware bracket etc something that can be placed and then removed to keep them open or a hinge type device that we can use to open and close them.

350$ for these on Facebook marketplace. Worth it? Looks like they might be over 10 years old but everyone seems to recommend getting older models since they're easier to fix.

I was able to pick this up for 32405.48+tax/DMV.

Super happy with the deal myself. Been wanting a WRX for a long time and never thought it would happen right now but I saw this 2025 still on the lot advertised at 35,000 and decided to call. Took 3 dealership visits and going in on the last day of the month but they eventually came down a couple thousand to make it work for me only had to put 1,000 down.
