发帖数: 14763 | 4 My experience agrees on stone base is not really needed, only a small
percent do. It's just too hard or costly to test the load bearing on all
sites. Compared to that, it actually saves to require 4 inch stone base
instead.
So, he is right, but don't listen to him. You don't want to test your luck
here. Only few exceptions, for example, I had a gravel walk through my
backyard, only 2 inch base. If some spots became saggy, no big deal, I don't
need to dig anything up, just add a few shovels more. |

发帖数: 491 | 5 Is Tree Removal an Option?
Besides not having to ever shovel snow in Houston, one of the other great
things I like about Houston is all the trees in our area. They look great,
add value to our property, and shade us from the summer sun. Trees and their
root system can sometimes also have a negative effect on our home’s
foundation. Trees can pull a large quantity of water from the soil through a
process called ‘transpiration’. Large trees could pull 200 gallons of
water a day! Now you probably do... 阅读全帖 |

首先，要买snow blower肯定是烧油的，如果电动的能满足你的要求，那买把snow
shovel烧人油也没问题。不知道为什么这版上有些天生怕发动机的，别的能凑合，除雪
的机器不能。
烧油的分single stage和two stage，前者轻便但是要自己用力推，适用于平整路面6-8
寸以下的雪，后者有些笨重但是自己驱动轮子，适用于各种路面12寸左右的雪。所以，
真正要选择哪种就需要考虑路面(gravel/paved)，降雪量，以及有没有坡度(sloped)。
如果driveway状况非常好，没有坡也不长，就是降雪会达到12寸，你也可以考虑single
stage，但是要记住，下大雪时就要开始除雪，不能等到下完，等于把12寸分成两到三
次除。否则，就只能上two stage. |

depends on how much snow you get. If the snow is fresh and is less than 1
inch thick, you can even clean a long driveway in 5 min: walk with your snow
shovel and clear two parallel paths. that's exactly what I did before I
bought my snow blower. |

I lift the handle slightly up, so the blade can get as close to the ground

the longer you leave the snow on the ground, the harder to clean, the more

the residual snow. it takes only a minute or two. |

发帖数: 341 | 39 关于孩子的玩具被别的不认识的小朋友强抢怎么办，其实我以前也不知道什么是正确的
方法，直到有一天我看到网上有关讨论，才知道：
——————————
如果自家宝宝没什么反应, 就随便他玩一会儿好了
如果自家宝宝正在玩或者也想玩, 我可能会干涉一下, 让他们share and take turn
如果孩子不懂得怎么去拿回来， 我会直接帮娃拿回来。 跟那个孩子说， Can I have
the shovel back? he is still using it. You need to ask first. 然后教娃这种情
况下该怎么做。
我觉得，如果孩子小（4岁以下），我会帮他。如果另一个孩子是直接从宝宝手里抢东
西的话，我会告诉他，No, That is not very nice. Take turns. 4岁以上的孩子应该
会自己处理这样的事了。
这样孩子慢慢他就了解了界限，他自己的东西有权不给别人，而且你支持他这么做，如
果别的孩子要突破界限，他要大声把这个界限给别人指出来；如果他能分享，那时更好
的事情，他会有很多小朋友。
