Watering daily is OK, it's just more work for you. The roots go where the water is...if you only keep the top 2 feet of soil moist with lite watering, your watering becomes a hobby in itself. The best thing to do is promote deep roots by heavy watering (twice a week is fine) and although the surface may appear dry, the soil is moist 1, 2, 3,.....feet down and then you don't have to worry about your trees drying-out. You're technically using the same amount of water, you're just letting it get deeper and you'll experience less evaporation because the water is below the surface. The only way to fix your clay & drainage problem is to fix the soil itself; Amend or compost needs to be mixed-in. Redwood bark, on the surface, is mostly ornamental and will have no effect on the clay. Drip irrigation is more useful for flowers and other shallow-rooted plants; for your trees, dig a "moat" around the tree, approximately along the edge of the rootball, and just let the hose keep running!!! Do not water during the heat of the day, water in the morning or afternoon. Good luck. Here is a link that might be useful: Kellogg's Amend info

The ground screw is not required to be green by the NEC, but it must be a machine screw in a threaded hole, not a self tapping screw. The first 'electrician' is in a world of hurt and knows it. I would not allow him to set foot on the property, and would report him to the AHJ immediately. Not allowing him to 'fix' his poor work may have some repercussions under local law. A few minutes with an attorney would be well spent at this point, especially if he has already mentioned the 'lien' words to you. He may lose his license (more likely a fine) for not pulling a required permit, especially if you [pursue the complaint against him. Talk with the AHJ. You may need to pull a permit yourself to get an inspector to review the work.

Scammers! They are usually "fine with the price and condition" even though they have not yet seen the item in person. Are often in the process of moving into whatever town you're posting from and want to arrange for a shipper to pick up. They write like English is a second language and appear to be in a hurry. They want to deal in cashier checks and ask for your contact information. With my ad they often asked to see photos even though I posted the two photo collages shown above plus offered a link to my Photobucket site with several closeup photos. Below is a typical scam email format... Hello Am okay with the price and the condition and i will like to make an outright purchase of this particular item immediately because i noticed that you are serious seller, I anticipate that a cashier or certified check will be sent to you via express mail or ups as the mode of payment,concerning the pick up, i will be responsible for that, where my mover will come for the pick up at your location upon your confirmation of receiving the payment. So i will send the payment which will include the pick up charges in which you will make payable to the mover immediately you receive the payment to aviod the delay.Would really love to come for the viewing but due to my work frame that might not be Possible..and I will like you to provide the information below so that the payment will be done as soon as possible:- 1...................Full name 2...................Full home address 3...................Zipcode 4...................Tel#.
