Not even close. Letting two backyard specialists guys put it up for a mere $200 nearly as valuable.

oh man. ms ww really wants this right now. I know for sure I ain't putting it together but i'm also worried about where to put it. My backyard isn't the most level and not sure how to prepare the spot + move the newly installed sprinkler heads so it doesn't get blasted by water.

« on: May 19, 2025, 05:21:20 PM »i have a Stihl string trimmer and i really do not like the string-feeding mechanism (?) which is like the entire point of a string trimmer. i have already replaced it once with an upgrade, and it still sucks crap. my yard is very small but there are a lot of edges/sidewalks/landscaping etc so it's really more important than the lawn mower. you guys really saying an electric one is the way to go?
Yes absolutely. My 40v Ryobi claims to have a 50+ min run time. Which works great for me since it only takes me about 15 minutes to trim my whole yard. Then I slap the battery on my blower and clear off the driveway/sidewalk.
When you say you don't like the 'string-feeding mechanism' are you saying it's hard to load, or you don't like the process of getting more string while trimming? The Ryobi isn't hard to load but it's different. At least from anything I've had in the past.
I watched a youtube vid on loading it and it really helped.
What's the best way to let string out when using? Just bang it on the ground?

Got the Ryobi 40v and its way better than the crappy Black and Decker I had for 10 years. Only problem is I suck at using it so far. I either ain't cutting enough or I'm scalping the crap outta the grass. Just user error though. Bought the edger attachment as well which has been working well. 40v has plenty of power

« on: April 01, 2025, 01:35:52 PM »Now that i'll have a thicker lawn this year after overseeding last fall and had sprinklers installed, i decided to upgrade to a 42" zero turn. Took it on its maiden voyage yesterday. Holy crap it's gonna save me so much time.
what kind did you get? i'm still on the robot fence, but my yard is too big. I have an old ass John Deere rider that probably should have died like 5 years ago, but it keeps starting every year so I roll with it. I'd love a 42" zero turn. The other thing is how much bigger they are and my current rider barely fits in my garage with the cars.
I ended up getting a Cub Cadet ZT1 42" from a local dealer. I was between that and a Toro timecutter. My lot is .6 acre. Probably only .4 grass. It was definitely a time decision for me. It was taking me a little under 2 hours, with a good percentage weeds. With a better stand, it is going to take 2 hrs +.
Only problem is my backyard is rough AF. Going to have to decide this fall how to best tackle that.

Received a hand scribbled note on my trash can after a pickup last month that said "turn trashcan around".
We moved to town about a year ago and i had been placing my trash can with the handle facing towards the street. In my mind I was doing them a favor so they can grab is easier. I did not factor that they do everything with a robotic arm and the metal piece they attach on to was on the backside.
So for the past 52 weeks I had been slowly pissing off the trash guy until he was forced to write me a note. In driving down our neighborhood and looking at everyone else's trash cans, i am definitely the only derp who was oblivious to this.

« on: January 17, 2025, 02:27:53 PM »I am at a year at our new house. I am sending a final list of items to the builder to fix and then we're on our own.
What type of things are legit things that need fixed and what are things that are minor and not worth bringing up?
Multiple raised drywall screws that were mudded over but noticeable not flush with the wall?
Some settling cracks in the drywall in the ceiling where our living room/dining room meet?
caulking cracks along some doors and windows? kind of looks like the caulking wasn't thick enough and now you can see into a gap.
I would bring up all those things. Those are fairly normal, but they should def fix. I'm sure you would have mentioned it, but I would make sure I don't feel any drafts in doors/windows or any type of water leaks anywhere.
lmao every door and window has a draft. The front door has about a 1 inch section where the seal is slightly flattened and you can see light where it doesnt press against the door. When the wind blows into it, you feel it.
