makes sense

it kills me when I see people watering in the middle of the day when it's 90 plus lol

 

I remember my dad always hosing down the driveway every weekend. He never worked on our cars or anything like that so its not like there was any real need to, I think its just one of those things people used to do to try and keep it clean. Sounds nuts now

 

All of Arizona does this, 3pm, 115° out... And these old dumb motherfuckers are watering the grass in full sun.

 

yeah dunes wheeling is definitely not all its cracked up to be. Sand everywhere for months afterward

 

I do this maybe once or twice a season, just cause we get dust storms and ash from fire season.

 

yeah can relate to the ash. Been 2 years since the big fire in the mountains near our place and we still get ash in our AC filter every time I clean it once a month




wind just keeps blowing it down over the city

 

New house, I had a dirt backyard.



Then we added our shed, lights, camera.

Lined the edges with mulch cause it's cheap and retains moisture better.



Then got the sod in.




Added more plants (still need to add more) and the yard belongs to the dogs.

 

Yeah, I had to keep pulling @Sperrunner out of the sand every 5 minutes.

 

@JKO1998 you got a new rig and gimp cage?

I'm reminded of the lost German tourists of death valley.

 

i definitely appreciate sweeping it off every now and then in a way i never did before lol

 

Every Sunday I mow the lawn.

After that, I always use my leaf blower to clean/blow anything off the driveway, walkway, etc.

I don't do this early enough to be a nuisance (normally 830-9am) but late enough to ask...is no one else going to maintain their shit or even wake up?

Neighbor to my right hasn't mowed his front lawn since he moved in.

Neighbor to my left has a landscaper tend to it as they don't live there yet and have deliveries every week or so. They're still furnishing the place with all new stuff.

Other neighbors...well they're as one of you guys said...stupid cause they do shit mid-day when it's over 90 degrees.

 

That was a crazy story. Been awhile since I looked into it but I think they only found some remains of a couple of them?

 

Speaking of maintenance, I need to buy a pressure washer.

You guys use one at all? I used to at my old house.

 

I have the second cheapest Ryobi from the box hardware stores. It does alright for washing the trucks and stains off the sidewalk. Biggest complaint is that it seems pretty sensitive to house water pressure and will cavatate if it's not getting enough flow but that could have been the spigot I was using at the old house. I work around it by filling the tank with water so it has enough lol

Definitely beats paying $30/mo at the car wash or so like I did before

sounds like a reasonable time to me, I forgot, did you get an electric mower?

 

I tend to mow when I have time, lunchtime if I can. As long as the mower is charged I can be done in 45 minutes.

 

Ahh damn, I too had Ryobi (from Home Depot) that I rarely used so I can't pass judgement on its performance.

Good to know though!

And yeah I had my wife cancel her membership for car washes, mainly cause it was in the town she used to live in. It's like oh yeah, unlimited washes per month for $xx but how often do you actually go?

 

Yep!

EGO electric.

Love the way it cuts and it's light for being full-sized.
