Colorado watering guidelines for new trees

Have you ever wondered how much water you need for your new trees?
Follow this simple guideline for the first two or three seasons after you plant a tree. (This guide line is good for trees planted in Colorado or other area with similar climates)
Watering session is 10 gallons of water per 1 inch diameter (trunk of the tree) Example: A 3" tree trunk needs 30 gallons per watering session.

Spring: (Mar/May) one watering session every other week
Summer: (Jun/Aug) one watering session every other day
Fall: (Sep/Nov) one watering session every other week
Winter: (Dec/Feb) one watering session every month (if no measurable snow)

12M Consumers May Get Credit-Score Boost Soon

Image
The three largest credit-reporting agencies will begin cleaning up credit reports in July, which could help lift the credit scores of about 12 million consumers. In a survey by the Federal Trade Commission, one in four people say they spot errors in their credit reports, most commonly concerning tax liens and civil judgments. Up to half of tax lien data on a credit report is inaccurate or incomplete. Civil judgments—which means a court has ruled a person owes money—also tend to be ripe with errors or omissions on a credit report, experts say. Consumers can dispute the errors, but the process can be cumbersome. Beginning July 1, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion will automatically exclude tax lien and civil judgment records from credit reports if they are missing a person’s name, address, Social Security number, or date of birth. Claims that do contain this key information, however, will remain on credit reports. Six percent of Americans with a credit score—or 12 million— likely...

Silicon Valley house on the market for only $800K!!! What in the world?

Image
Eight hundred thousand dollars is certainly not an unheard of price in the world of residential real estate, as prices shoot up in hot markets such as New York, the District of Columbia, and the San Francisco Bay area. But what that amount buys in San Jose, a main node of Silicon Valley and its soaring estate prices, drew a second look: a debilitated, burned shell of a home on a small overgrown lot of the type your parents might have warned you to stay away from. The median home value in San Jose is $1,078,300. That's up 23.9% over the past year, and is predicted to rise 8.4% over 2018. The fact that severe fire damage only bumped that average down to $800,000 says a lot about the area's market, where available housing is sparse and residents prioritize proximity to their employment. PS: I just checked about an hour ago, so by the time you read this article know that the house is already under contract. I guess Metro Denver and Centennial prices are not that high after a...
