We just moved into this 2008 house and there’s an oak tree (18 years old) VERY close to the foundation and the roots are making their way. It’s not massive, about the height of our 2-story house. Trunk is probably a foot-and-a-half-ish in diameter.
Obviously pending HOA approval, has anyone else had a recent tree removal and what did it cost? Any recommendations?
I’m not native to texas, it’s crazy hot down here. I could write an essay on the heat alone, but truly it’s unbearable for me. I love diy projects and have a shop setup in my garage but it’s so hard to work there. Every time I open my garage there’s flies zipping in and out, I feel sticky and gross, have to take a complete shower and wash my hair, and I don’t feel like doing all that just to get a couple hours into a project. It deters me from doing anything involving dust or tools so I don’t have to go outside.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Surprise surprise, Texas is not clear where to vote so I was wondering if anyone has a list or recommendations for voting locations (preferably early voting locations).
I recently moved out to Waller county from Harris county so this is my first election in the next area.
Hey everyone. I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
I have a 2005 BMW that I rely on to get to work, and I’ve been putting a lot of time and money into trying to get it back into a condition where it can pass inspection. Unfortunately, I’ve had it fail state inspection more than once, and at this point I’m honestly feeling pretty overwhelmed.
The car still runs and drives reliably, but it has some dashboard warning lights on, and being an older BMW, the cost of chasing down every single issue can get extremely expensive.
What I am hoping to find is a shop around Fort Bend County/Katy or nearby that is known for being reasonable, understanding, and experienced with older vehicles, rather than immediately telling someone they need to spend thousands of dollars on repairs.
If you’ve personally had a good experience with an inspection place that works with older cars and is willing to actually look at the situation and explain what is genuinely required, I would be incredibly grateful for the recommendation.
And if there are any legitimate options for dealing with an older vehicle that has failed multiple times, I’d really appreciate hearing about those too. I’ve been working hard to fix this car, but with the cost of everything these days, I’m trying to find a realistic path forward rather than having to give up on a car I still depend on.
If you know a place or mechanic that might be able to help, please let me know. I’m genuinely desperate for some direction here. Even a name, phone number, or personal experience would mean a lot.
Thank you ❤️
Hi! My name is Luis, and my friend and I are looking for a roommate (guy, gal, unicorn doesn't matter, just be cool) to help us afford a house to rent. We both work and have already started saving up; we just need a third roommate to round it out, you know?
We're looking at houses in the Katy area, so if you're interested, please hmu (cus we're kinda running out of ppl to ask, lol 😭) we're looking for a roommate around our age, so that would be 19–22, and we're trying to save up at least $4k for the house, so again, if you're interested, please hmu on here or on my Instagram @cafe._.cups.
Thank you,
