I know from years of experience and doing my own soil pH tests and grinding leaves in to a lawn. Fuck MSU. they're not in CT.

if you want to dump man-made chemicals to fix your lawn to compensate for acidity, knock yourself out.

contrary to what everyone thinks, it's not good to mulch leaves into your lawn. Leaf compost is acidic which lowers the soil pH and essentially kills grass, causes moss growth and soil compaction. to keep a healthy lawn, you're forced to lime it then fertilize the lawn to get the green to compensate. It's stress on the lawn and just more chemicals put into the ground water.

a part of the college experience is networking with fellow students and the instructors. one of the best things I found was to work with some of my classmates and collaborate on the class work. you can learn more by what and how others think.

Reply to Water Damage Repair Company? by ShplaDOW

I have some experience with this. My elderly Mother has one of those custom designed kitchens you see in magazines. She spent big $ on it. A few years after the kitchen was completed a water supply line to the kitchen sink developed a leak. It was a corrosion leak. Anyway, like you, it was a complete mess. hardwood floor was ruined. it buckled. subfloor was ruined. Downstairs was an unfinished basement so only had to clean up the wet floor. Cabinets had to come out. Granite tops had to be replaced. it was a nightmare.

Became more of a nightmare after contacting the insurance company. Insurance company recommended ServPro and some other outfit. Basically got the same thing as you did. I wasn't comfortable with them being in the house with nobody around. Didn't hire either one of them.

I contacted a contractor who did my master bath over and asked him to look over my Mother's kitchen which he did. Made several recommendations for local guys in my Mom's area. Long story short, the job got done to her complete satisfaction with finding the exact same granite color that she had before. She was concerned the granite color wouldn't match the cabinet finish.

So, might be best to be your own contractor and get some independents to do the work. I did a portion of the demolition work and disassembly and removal of the cabinets. It wasn't really that hard to do. Doing the rebuild and finish work I left to the pros. It looked like nothing happened when it was complete.

I wish you the best in this. it is very unnerving and huge disruption.

yeah, if you have over 2 years on the reg, I wouldn't have cancelled either. You could've cancelled and if I recall correctly DMV would issue a partial refund. They used to do that but it may be different today. 15 years ago I bought a used car. Had it about 2 months and someone hit and destroyed the thing totaling it. I canceled the reg on it and DMV issued me a partial refund.

you'll be transferring the reg and insurance from old to new vehicle.

Contact insurance company first once you get the new vehicle and get a new insurance card for the new vehicle. You'll need proof of insurance for transferring reg at DMV. Then contact DMV. Ask them what if any additional paper they require for transfer. I'm sure there is a form you'll need to complete and make an appointment to do the DMV transaction. I think that's it. Someone else may need to chime in if I missed anything. Did you keep your plates?
