huh no 'touchdown' in Home Improvement? Good job then. Attics + heat suck. An apartment complex I was doing wanted our guys to crawl in the attic in August in Las Vegas, and we could not start until 8am. In the summer it's light here at 4:30am and by 8 it's bumping 112F. Not just regular old no but HELL NO.

ok, guess i didn't check the weather and have a week of rain, my lawn is relatively flat so i'm not worried the seed going down the hill and the lawn never puddles (it'll just keep on drinking rain), so is there really an issue if i decide to throw down seed when it's raining? i guess i can also cover it up w/ compost
I attempted to use the same hole the electric was run through on an exterior wall but that didn’t work. Ended up drilling through a ceiling joist on an interior wall and used that.

Seed does best when it has some cover for warmth. If it's overseeding and there's bare soil exposed between grass its probably fine.
Also spring is not the best time to seed typically with cool season grasses because of soil temp. If you're seeding areas that aren't irrigated, usually look for the best compromise between rainfall and soil temperature.

I ordered some black beauty shade seed as well. I'll try to get some before/after shots. I moved a pile of post-construction dirt from A to B and have a bare area near a fence line. Plus I got rid of some pavers in the back that served no purpose that I can think of that I need to cover as well.

Fuck, couple summers ago, my AC went out on the hottest day of the year (when else would it go out?) Fan blade looked like the incredible hulk just tore it in half. I called an AC guy, he said "yeah, we can get the part, but I can't get back out here for a week, you can pick it up from our office tomorrow though."
Getting that fucking fan blade off in 100° heat after working a 12 hour day was the worst thing I've ever done in my life. Seems simple, it's just a blade on a shaft, little grease, nbd right? Yeah....to get it ON.
You can't get on the other side of the blade to pound it off with any leverage at all, fucker is rusted on there, and you basically have to do it with brute force and your own bare hands. My arms were all cut up from the blade and I was about ready to pass out. Then a little grease and a rubber mallet to get the new one on, ez pz.
But I remember laying down in bed with the AC cranked to max and thinking there was a good chance I wasnt gonna wake up.

I guess maybe this is the best place to ask this.. I have a termite protection plan with a pest control company. I went out to my chicken coop this morning which has the subterranean baits around it and noticed what looks like dirt around it. I’m wondering if maybe it’s just from ants or termites. Anyone seen this before

looks like ants made a hive/nest around the outside of the bait trap. Give 'em some good ol fire ant killer powder.
