The Advice Thread

Lady Striker and I are looking for a new gas range for the kitchen. Looking at Thermador, Viking, Blue Star, and others of that kind. Anyone got any advice on the subject?
 
Find something easy to clean

I'm not too brand loyal. Heavier material, easy to maintain, etc. is what you should look at. I think

I'm a huge fan of convection ovens though, steam ovens are dope too but only really great if your'e doing bread.

I don't think you'll go wrong with any of those brands. Pick the one you like the best and is easy to clean.

Our viking dishwasher is garbage, but thats not to say their ranges aren't the tits.

I tend to lean aesthetics some on appliances first because to me some can be very off putting, and ability to get parts 2nd.

Heh didn't know viking made dishwashers

I guess I shouldn't be shocked.

But all dishwashers suck, so I agree parts matter. Mine has had a pump replaced and a spray arm. I'm out like 100 bucks in repairs but it could be worse.
 
I'm planning a vacation for September where I'll be taking the family on a tour of national parks out west. We're hitting Zion, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite, and Sequoia. I realize we could spend a week in many of these parks so we'll just be scratching the surface. Does anyone have any suggestions of can't miss experiences in these parks or the surrounding area?

I grew up 30 minutes from Zion. If you’re up for a moderate hike with some elevation, then Angel’s Landing — absolutely stunning views and one of the most famous hikes in the country. This hike requires a permit but you can still hike to Scout’s Lookout — still amazing views.

The Narrows is the most quintessential Zion experience. It’s a hike through a slot canyon and depending on precipitation over the summer, parts of the hike have waist high water. If you have young kids, this might be a lot but you can go as far as you want.

If you want an easy stroll that’s beautiful, then Emerald Pools.

If you’ve got some extra time, Bryce Canyon isn’t far from Zion (1-2 hr drive). Easy to do a day trip and it’s a completely different landscape.

I was tinkering around in my back yard after I found mice had decided to move under my porch and into my basement bulkhead. In the process of cleaning up copious amounts of bird seed from birds over the winter which drew them in (wife likes birds, hates cleaning up) in doing so I found the moss incursion has gotten so much worse. I am gonna lime up my soil (I know you're supposed to test it I don't care) but despite my research, I cannot find a specific answer.

We're going to do no mow may because as I said my wife likes birds. Is it even worth seeding? I'm mainly going to focus on my front lawn now and maybe work on the back lawn in the fall. I have a dethatcher coming in today to dethatch me front lawn. I may aerate it. But with a lot of rain coming next week.
