Is it mainly cause y'all have been away so much?

And the people who lived here didn't take good care of the house. But also, the house is forty years old now. So it is time for a lot of things to be replaced.

Been having issues for a few days with install fresh install of snipe.
Both Fedora and CentOS. All seems good but fails after the pre-flight. Managed to do some trouble shooting. One issue was permissions, easy fix.
The other seems to be related to the latest version of MariaDB as I've installed version 10.1 on a clean CentOS and it works straight off.
Will have another play tomorrow with a more recent version but not the very latest build.

The issue I'm aware of is related to MariaDB 10.2.7 and later, and how it stores null defaults.

Sounds more like a problem with Snipe-IT not staying current with their chosen platforms.

What would you replace it with?So the biggest "problem" lawn for us is the front one. It's small, so the plan is to plant three or four trees (or large shrubs like cape myrtle) with big areas around them (mulch, stone) and put in a big herb area of lavender and rosemary against the house and a small path across the front. That's enough to pretty much eliminate all of the grass. There is so little already, it's easier than it sounds.

I've been thinking about doing that to our small front yard.

In the back, it's a lot more space, but a lot more flexibility. A huge portion of the lawn will be replaced with a new office we plan to construct back there. That's 8'x15' of structure plus a slab quite a bit larger than that. Then we want to put in planters and walk ways to cover the remaining space. I have to build a retaining wall which I'll have to do by hand, so that we can start to level the yard before doing too much. But overall, we have limited space, so getting to zero grass is easier than it sounds.
