Agreed. The main problem is that Kevin loved his concrete...some posts have a concrete base...some don't. I don't want to move the posts as there's a gas line around too which I need to be careful with. I've had it mapped out before by ProMark but may get it remapped again...just in case.
You can also get a cheap one off of amazon.
Dad has one…it’s outstanding.
If you are looking for something non-toxic diatomaceous earth has worked OK for me in the yard but it is not instant and you need to know where the nest is. You cover and around their entrance/nest and you reapply after rain etc. You can buy in bulk at garden centres instead of smaller name brand versions at big box. Basically it kills ants that walk through it by impacting the exoskeleton, if you cover/surround the nest the ones that go through it eventually die and the nest eventually dies/starves out as the population dwindles.
Molten aluminum works first time every time and makes cool art. Peta probably hates you if you go that route and it's definitely not the cheapest option.
I have one of those sprayers you pump up to get pressure. I fill it with vinegar to kill weeds on the patio etc. I've also stuck it right over the any hill hole and blasted it, they have no come back (to that area) But I am sure there are many other equally effective ways.
Turn off the ability to voice order. Less of a problem for you but still worth doing to remove the annoyance. If you ask it to play xxx, Alexa will say that she found it on Amazon music and would you like to subscribe. Any random person saying yes gets you a recurring monthly charge.I know some of you are in the Alexa ecosystem and I've had mine since day one ( before it was set up in Canada ) and have accumulated a few devices.
I must admit the Apple Home Pod sounded better but then they dropped the big one and it was stupid money.
I just picked up the Echo Studio and I don't miss the Home Pod ( not able to bring to Australia )
The Studio is a big jump up
Got it in white which I like better ....

Voice in particular is excellent and lots of space in the sound despite single source. Leonard Cohen sounds great.
Easiest thing to set up ever....plugged it in and it was ready in 3 minutes without my doing anything.
I can use it as an external BT speaker as well.
I considered these but they never go on sale unlike the regular full-size Echo’s which often go to $79. Watched a review that found two Echo’s had similar performance to the Studio so I went with 2 in the gym, 3 on the deck (with ceiling mounts), and singles where I don’t have in-ceiling speakers. 2-3 Echo’s sound far superior to a single unit.I know some of you are in the Alexa ecosystem and I've had mine since day one ( before it was set up in Canada ) and have accumulated a few devices.

I have a Studio for the kids play room. Imo it sounds like poo and I wouldnt buy another one. Probably a little more bass than echos but I have no love for it. It fulfills its roll but I won't be buying another one.
