Over here you do see the foundation on every home, but we're all slab on grade

On the native plant front, I already removed 800sqft of grass to a native Texas seed mix

No way, just ripped the junk concrete out!

You know, it never occurred to me to chip off the motor on the bottom. I guess I'll do that first before anything else. It it ends up looking good, then great! If not, I can explore the rest of the options

Thanks guys, lots of good info here!

Hmm, that sounds like a lot of work...

You think if I just cover it and spread the rocks, it should be enough? Can't spray anything around the trees

Should soil go that far up, all the way to the brick?

I've got a lot of lawn, and some of it is between all my fruit trees and around my generator. I've been tempted to put some kind of rock down instead. Has anyone done anything similar?

On the side of my garage the brick is straight, but for whatever reason the foundation is not, so there is this weird overlap. Best way to make this look better?

No they never did contact me back. I got busy with life and the $100~ payback never seemed worth it for the hassle to follow back up with I just badmouth the installer to everyone I know, which has for sure already costed them.

You're taking the term "Field Replaceable Unit" a little too literally bud

Trying now with the torch, but this seems like its going to take an age?

Price the batteries out on their own! The APC packs are super expensive, just rebuild it Check the model too, might be double conversion, if it is, keep it

Actually still does 9v... Under no load of course

Is your unit rack mounted? The desktop modules usually use those huge 20ah batteries, which seem to hold up better If I recall, the 1000 VA units like this are 24v, but the 1500 VA units are 48v, if I remember correctly that is

Well your post reminded me to update! I did replace that wing nut with a real nut

This is an old SMT1000 2U. If you don't mind just rebuilding the pack, just buy the cells yourself 4 end up at $66 with free shipping from here as they offer bulk discount https://www.replaceupsbattery.com/12V-9AH-UPS-Battery/ Yeah I always just replace all 4, I'll keep the 2 "good" ones...

I can't tell if this 12v battery is bad, what do you think? I can probably re-shape it back to square, right??? I had to bend the heck out of the UPS to get it out Nothing a clamp can't fix

I forever buy DeWalt. They got the top rating on Project Farm, and their warranty is solid. They have me for life after that https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/dewalt-drill-bit-snapped-warranty.497861/
