    These here are usually crews of four. Two trimming, one mowing, and one blowing. Yes, less than 15 minutes total per lot. They usually do a number of adjacent ones before having to move the truck...

    I think that one would be more properly compared to a commercial one in cost. The cost of fuel not burned should be factored in too. The 35hp Kawasaki in my mower burns at least 2-1/2 gallons an...

    I remember looking at them a few years back, and that would have been my choice if I needed a new fence. Do they have a good fine adjuster yet? They didn't back when I first saw them.

    For me at least, at some point it becomes not worth the effort required. I quit trying decades ago for anything that at least doesn't live under a roof with a large overhang.

    The guys around here work long hours. One crew told me they do 40 yards a day. Those are all 1/2 acre lots with less than half under grass. People pump water out of the lake to water grass.

    At...

    Yard cutting is probably the biggest employer here on the lake. No one cuts their own grass. Most have already switched to cordless blowers and trimmers with no change of laws in sight. I see them...

    Looks fantastic! One of mine doesn't have a spec of nickel plating left on it, but still shapes wood when I need it.

    edited to add: That is probably the nicest looking one I've ever seen.

    With single pane glass, if the sash or door is painted on the inside I use exterior paint on the interior side. Water will condense on the glass at some point and interior paint will buckle when it...

    You don't have to push very hard with either to trim the cheap caulk. I've done some number of hundreds of window panes and never broken one when trimming it. I expect you'd have to push pretty...

    I bed glass in cheap latex caulk. It’s not really exposed to air or light so it’s just a cushion and seal. It’s most important that it’s easy to remove when the time comes. Strong bond is not...

    Been there. I don't do varying height floors, thresholds in doorways, nor curbs for showers. At least wood is easier than concrete. This was to replace a fiberglass shower in a 1974 tiled...

    I was taught to use it all through school. Sentences without it don't bother me nearly as much as "your" used for "you're". I normally read pretty fast but still stumble over "your" being used...

    No apologies needed. It's always an interesting problem to solve and not as much work when it belongs to someone else. I'd still like to know how the oil got in the combustion chambers.

    No but keeping NOCO trickle chargers on the ones that don't get used much makes them last longer than those size batteries ever have before. In fact, I don't remember exactly when I started using...

    Diesel fuel sitting over a Winter shouldn’t be much of an issue. My 100 gallon tank has sat over Winters for 30 years with some in it. I do use some in Winters, but nothing like in grass growing...
