If you decide to do it, you might want to pull out the dishwasher if possible to find the best spot/check for wiring. I know I've got the dishwasher wiring right around that area.
Ordered a 3 pack earlier this week and set them up today. Went smoothly unless I did something wrong. Thanks again.
This was the main one that showed how to remove them, just make sure you have the right replacement rollers. I took one of the old ones with me to Home Depot to match the exact size and type.

@shuke just finally set this up .... quick and easy and tested an alert. I just left the 3 sensors in the basement for now.
The fun way. Unless you have a lot of dry tinder nearby. But, hey, it's a flamethrower.
Or. Roundup Dual Action 365 Weed & Grass Killer Plus. I haven't tried the blow torch approach but it looks fun. Ha ha
I'll 2nd the flamethrower. If you don't completely fill the crack, it'll keep coming back though. You have to basically get the weeds out, fill with sand, then patch the crack itself. Several methods to do that depending on how wide the crack is.
Love it. I'm lawn guy. I take it seriously. Follow Facebook group that are really serious lawn guys. Mow. Mow. Mow. That sums it up. Weeds? Obviously tons of poison options, but mow. Mow. Takes me about 1.5 hours to mow. At this point in the season I mow every 3 days or so. It's a hassle but your grass will thank you.
Same. A caveat for me is cost efficiency . If money is no object damn near anyone can have putting green lawns. I am just a cheap person, but I put all the man labor in. I keep my yard neat. Trims my trees. Weed mats down over non grass area with barkdust on top. Like my wife says, our yard is always clean and neat.
2.5 acres of lawn would keep me up at night. Ha ha. For me, what I've found, at this time of season, is to scalp scalp scalp. Scalping is just cutting as low as your mower goes. Low. Scalp and bag it. Scalp every three days for weed control. Once summer kicks in raise the mower and don't bag it.
See...I was yard crazy before kids, and my energy and time have gone down substantially. I'm good about keeping it cut and thick, but I'm bad about edging, string-trimming, and re-seeding spots.
I will say for weeds, I use TruGreen. They come 4x a year to fertilize/weed spray. The stuff works, and it works better than what you can buy at the store. The cost isn't that much different either. I pay ~$1,400 for 4 services, and if I did 4 services via bags, it'd be well over $1,000 plus my time and effort. We have 2.5 acres, so it's a lot. I'll add we also have a dog, and as long as you keep them off it the day of application while the chemicals are wet, it's not really an issue.
My yard is super thick - I cut it long - 4"+. The problem is that I simply can't miss a cut. I have to cut every 5-7 days. Ideally I'd cut every 4. But it takes me ~1 hour even on my commercial 60" Deere Zero turn, so I just can't always find time. I say this knowing I'm gone this weekend, my grass needs cut, and I have today and tomorrow to do it...and it's dumping rain.
Pressure washer to clean it out and seal that crack
And that works also. Grass can't be treated the same in all regions. Different types of grass and different climates dictate how u care for it. I'm dealing with Bermuda grass in the south. I prefer putting green lawn. Really thick so weeds can't grow. Scalping allows me to only spray weed control maybe twice a year. It's about cost control for me.
