    Since that would only be predicated on a person actually having a house on the market, I contend that is not much of an issue and actually based on how loosely people type here and how many times words don’t seem to mean things to a lot of people, I can’t ever think I know what people are talking about which makes it only proper to ask.

    But what I am needing to know is......do you use a leaf blower to clean off the driveway and walks? Because, if you dont, your no better than the rest of these white trash hillbillies in here. Now, tell me you do and dont be afraid to admit it.

    I use a broom. Leaf blowers are too damn loud. I'm a courteous neighbor.

    Yep, that's pretty much my neighbor.... His yard is like 1/8th Kentucky blue grass, 4/8 brome grass and 3/8 miscellaneous weeds... I'm so tired of looking at it I've threatened to my wife that I'm going to go over, till up his yard and re-seed it for him...

    Would much rather have someone obsessive with their lawn than a total lazy bum...

    The wife does a very nice job of mowing, weed whacking and trimming. :)

    I do all the tree cutting, stump removely and things of that nature around the yard. I won't let her near my chainsaw for fear that she would get hurt. There isn't much she is afraid to tackle so I made her promise me she would never touch it.

    I did it for 7 years before wising up and payin someone to do it. We have 30-40 clients now, weekly edging weeding mowing and trimming. The drought has damn near bankrupted me this summer, or my beer fund at the very least.

    I take pride in making other properties look good and get payed pretty good to do it. I've owned a landscape company for 15 years. This drought isn't helping and my employees are starting to complain about hours but it happens every year around this time. I don't think there is any thing wrong with taking care of your lawn but the people who flip out about it is over the top...it's a lawn!!!!

    Sometimes I dread mowing and other times I find it therapeutic, it just depends on the weather and how I feel. However since this sustained drought and heat wave I have given up.

    I saw the heat wave coming last week so i lowered my blade as low as it would go and cut all my grass. The plan worked, the majority of it is dying. I hate mowing. Couldn't care less about it.

    Nothing wrong with a woman cutting the grass. I love riding my John Deere & drinking a beer :)
