You don't like my completely accurate response, don't read it. Just because you can't use a gallon doesn't mean others don't or can't. Maybe you want me to go mix it up and spray it for them too? If someone can't find generic glyphosate on their own, they really don't have much business here.

9 cents a gallon for glyphosate and you can get Diesel cheaper than that?

Roundup is expensive? You can get generic glyphosate for about 9 cents a mixed gallon. 2-1/2 gallons concentrate for $35 that makes 320 gallons of spray. Will cover a lot of ground. You won't find anything else within 10 times that price. Most of the long term killers will cost you $10 a...

Going to depend on the inspector and the construction of the carport. If it is all metal, likely not. Stick built likely so.

They have them periodically.

Mixed gravel from lime up to #5. Some places it's called road base.

Rock is easier, faster, cheaper, longer lasting and inherently non-slip. Better in every way.

Many choices. Paint with sand. Grip tape with contact cement. I've seen 1/4"X1" lag screws driven into the ramp where the tires had to go, though that wouldn't help with walking as much

Does this need to look nice or exist with a lawn? The easiest way is to pile up gravel with fines and shape it into a ramp. Locally I use 53s. Wet it down and it will be like concrete and will outlast the mower. If you need to build with wood, make sure to use something to give it grip. Wood is...

You build it with the ground. The poles on the low side may need to be longer than those on the high side. Once it's done, you fill with stone to level the floor and build up the outside as needed to access the doors. Some people use sand to fill, but I think it washes too easy.

That doesn't look like creeping Charlie to me with those big splits in the leaves. Send a picture to your local MSU extension office. This is creeping Charlie:

You left out the most important piece of information: What are you going to use it for?

True. Should just say don't put a wrench on the positive terminal unless the ground is disconnected from the battery.

Not true. You get sparks regardless of which order you connect. Current actually flows out of the negative terminal of a battery. Electrically there is no difference in connecting or disconnecting either wire. The reason for doing the positive lead first is to prevent shorting it to the...

Very normal to get a spark when reconnecting the battery. Many things draw power with the key off, and even wiring causes some current to flow. Flashing may be a result of something trying to power up and resetting because the test light isn't allowing current to flow.
