I had a similar project but no sprinkler involved, just needed to cut enough away to put a fence in. Fkn brutal work and I was using a sawzall (saws-all?) in addition to hand tools.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Then he got it up to ground level for removal by backfilling with dirt on one side, tilting it up the other direction, filling dirt on the other side, back and forth til the root ball was sitting on top of the hole backfilled with dirt.

Did you actually wake up this morning thinking "I'm going to make some real shit posts today, just completely worthless and unfunny stuff contributing exactly nothing, let's GO"

What I'm not sure about it how to troubleshoot it before calling my home warranty company. The AC unit seems to be running fine (no weird sounds, no physical damage), I change my filters regularly, and air seems to be blowing (weakly in some areas...) out of my vents.

Is the air cold or it is just air?

Sometimes cold air. Sometimes just air.
