An electric mower seems like a huge PITA.

mowing lawns is the worst thing in the world. someone in the future thread needs to invent a way to mow your lawn with miles.

Lawn guy that takes visa?

This is what I do

Is the house done? Is there a picture of finished house?

guys, when you get new landscaping you have to water it basically every day for the first 2 weeks or something. doesn't sound like something steve dave would do, right? 3 DAYS IN A ROW I'VE WATERED ALL OF THE PLANTS IN THE BLAZING 75 DEGREE HEAT! hands in the dirt like a noble farmer (I do not touch the dirt, I blast the plants from the front step with my hose gun thing).

steve dave · « **Reply #1056 on:** June 13, 2014, 10:02:06 AM »

steve dave protip: when you have to water your plants don't unscrew your hose and move it to the next hose outlet deal, just buy a new hose for every outlet thing and keep them plugged in.

Can't you just set the sprinklers to go on automatically?

they do but they don't hit some of my stuff with enough water according to the landscape guy. poor planning/design.

it takes me two miller lite 16oz resealable aluminum bottles to spray all the plants. 30 seconds each for the little pud ones, 1 minute for the medium sized bush ones, 2 minutes for each of the trees.

do you emphatically chuck the resealable lids out toward the street to let those plants you mean business?

I usually just screw them back on before putting the bottles in the recycling bin

What is the ratio of Temp to Miller Lights? I mean, is thread going to be legible in August?

Your liver may appreciate it if you just treat all your landscaping as if they are annuals that just get planted every spring and die every ~~winter~~August.

sounds like you need a new house.

Landscaping is gateway labor, next thing you know he is going to be changing his own oil and fixing major appliances

slobber · « **Reply #1072 on:** June 13, 2014, 11:52:42 AM »

He already purchased extra oil for the law mower. (How long before unopened oil goes bad? You know sd is never going to change that oil. )

Gonna win 'em all!

CNS · « **Reply #1073 on:** June 13, 2014, 11:53:23 AM »

Lawnmowers are meant to be quasi disposable, imo.

CNS · « **Reply #1074 on:** June 13, 2014, 11:54:10 AM »

I mean, use in until you absolutely have to change the oil, then sell it to Wintz' hometown lawnmowbro for an unfair price then start over.
