The link below will provide you with detailed information from the Univ. of Tennessee extension service and includes 3 options for removing bermudagrass from a tall fescue lawn. Actually, the option you may want to look at most closely is the use of Acclaim Extra, which can be purchased at a John Deere Landscapes/Lesco store. The folks there should also be able to provide additional helpful information for you. https://utextension.tennessee.edu/publications/Documents/W237.pdf

Loger: No flack intended just general information. We all have to learn somewhere. I still remember my 1st welding experience , during my Diesel Apprenticship in the early 60.s . It was Gas torch fusion welding back then with appropriate filler rod. My bib tops had more filler rod tip burn holes then a sprinkler hose . Baymee should remember this trial and tribulation during his learning stages . My second Welding upgrading was during my College upgrading during my Stationary Engineering 3rd Class Degree. We used 550 volt 3- phase Lincoln Industrial Welder in the early 70,s and it was required to weld 8 inch x 8 inch test coupons from 1/4 inch hot rolled steel plate in position. 2 complete 8 pass welds in all 4-positions (flat / horizontal / vertical / overhead) I really had a problem initially in horizontal position with undercutting the weld from to hot a heat setting . Most beginners have trouble with adequate penetration in overhead from to cold of a setting. Once completed we cut the coupon into 4 separate strips (vertical band saw) and bent them into a U within a hydraulic bender . If any of the welds cracked we flunked our CWB Exam. My second testing was again Stick welding during my Pressure Vessel Certification U-69 we were required to fabricate a 4 inch x 4 inch x 1/2 inch metal box from 1/8 plate complete with a 1/4 inch weldolet coupling. Once the fabrication was done the box was pressurized 600 psi until it ballooned and then was submerged in water to check for any weld failures (bubbles) identified and again you failed this 1st phase of testing . Before you even got into the Boiler Pipe Weld testing . So yeah have burnt a few sticks of Rod in my Day . Really liked 5/32 Jet Rod , lazy Welders Rod only for flat position welding . Hated Low Hydrogen nasty flux fumes very hazardous. Anyhow been a few yrs since I stick welded , most of my projects are with a Miller Mig these days. Like riding a bicycle you never forget but it will take some practice to get quality welds after a few yrs absence. I remember some of the best welders I worked with during my Industrial Days were the laziest , they could weld on their head once they found a comfortable position. Please take our advice in the fashion (constructive) it is intended all the best Bro :) This post was edited by ewalk on Mon, Oct 14, 13 at 20:06

Did they place a water and ice shield barrier on the edge of the roof to three feet past the wall line? Your roof is not similar, only the material is. Original roof was solid from eave to ridge so any ice formed would just keep backing up the roof without penetrating. New roof is pieces which allow the ice to form and move underneath and then leak in the house.

Definitely go with your sales price. That is obviously what the house is worth, since that is all the sellers could get for it. Don't tell the assessor's office that other bids came in after yours was accepted -- that has nothing to do with the fact that the house actually sold for $546,000. Don't help them charge you more by giving them more information than they need. For the past few years, I made several appointments with our assessor to try and have our assessment reduced. She always pulls out these comps to show that our house is fairly assessed -- despite the fact that there really isn't a true comp for our home since all homes in our neighborhood are semi-customs and each one is different. I should have gone to the review board long ago, but the window for review always comes around the end of the year holiday time (how convenient for them) and we have generally been traveling or too busy to pay attention. This year we have our house on the market. We started our asking price at the amount for which we are assessed, which is 10% higher than last year despite a plunging housing market. We are told we have little hope of getting that price -- we'll probably have to come down another 8-10%. Believe me, when that happens I am sending her a letter showing the actual sales price. If I can't help us, I will at least help our buyers.
