1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Gotta get it set up way before its time to start mowing. Need to get quotes Jan-Feb. All my buds that do it are booked up, and with gas prices so high they try to steer clear of residential stuff and stick to the higher paying commercial properties.

 

Not too many kids, I live in a boomer type subdivision full of retirees on a golf course. My neighbors love me LOL!!!!

 

Remember the good ole days when gas was $2 a gallon and people called you back? Lol

thats what you get for putting those wheels on that truck!

 

My neighbor across the street is a good guy. We get along well and bullshit at least once a week. Dudes got 5 kids. His oldest son just started pushing the mower last week. I figure I'll let him get a few test runs in before I offer him some cash to cut my yard. lol

 

Ah bummer, I thankfully have no lawn to waste water and time on. But I always mowed our lawn in the last place once a week and I did a poor job to set expectations, finally a kid came along and did just as poorly and saved me 1.5hrs for $30

 

haha!

I pulled a similar low expectation stunt when I first got married. This one involved laundry. I threw my wife's stuff and my stuff into one giant load. Then dried it on high heat. After I got done having my ass chewed out for not knowing there's such a thing as "delicates" I never had to do laundry again. lol

 

I enjoy yard work.


Except getting the leaves up in the fall. Or more specifically, dealing with the neighbors leaves that they don't pick up.

 

I remember my gandpa would pay me 20$ to mow his law. And i had to leave it flawless. He wanted lines and everything

 

Your grandpa "maybe he's born with it"

 

My wife's the type of "you will do it until you master it". I tried that with cleaning and it blew up in my face!

 

"You stuck bro? I'll come get you" said everyone

I think I’d like a zero maintenance yard and a heated driveway cause plowing snow sucks even worse.


Or even just a south facing driveway, those usually melt off fairly quick

 

oh god, once I was like 10 and my grandpa offered me about the same to mow his lawn. By the time he was done yelling at me for cut lines and showing me "what a good job is supposed to look like" I didn't have any lawn left to mow

 

I need to figure out what to do with my median strip, I don't want to water but I don't want gravel since it soaks up the heat too

Stay away from north facing driveways the time investment in keeping it from turning into a non stop ice rink is real

 

@theesotericone One of the best forum names I’ve seen yet!

 

My parents driveway is north facing and it’s pretty much just solid ice 99% of the winter
