(137,986 posts)14. Will do, as he's a nice guy. Was a friend who brought drone over.
I forgot to mention, received estimates for removing bamboo, and doing so is HUGELY expensive, so trying to soften the blow to landlord. REALLY expensive.
SheltieLover
(62,134 posts)15. Bamboo sounds like a pita!
I hope you can get rid of it.
After all, you live there for the view, right?

SheltieLover

Wasn't he cheaper?
White vinegar?

elleng
(137,986 posts)20. Was cheaper, and then reconsidered, not sure why.
Much too tough for white vinegar, and would need TONs of the stuff.
MAy send this article to neighbor/landlord.
Thanks
