Yard work

[cam elle toe]

I LOVE it:nod:

I just pressure cleaned my 30 metre long driveway, and paved path.

Raked and swept ALL the leaves and bamboo husks.

Whipper snipped the edges and re-threaded it at the end.

tried to start the new (garage sale) lawnmower, but got a face (and yard) full of white smoke. Rings are gone

(Luckily, I didnt have to pay for it until I knew it worked, so back it goes)

Arent I industrious?...my driveway looks brand new.:thumbup

There is nothing more rewarding than looking at a beautifully groomed yard and knowing you did it.

Oh, I have a LOT more to do yet, but you're right. I'd much rather being out in the yard than housework anyday.

I have to weed all the gardens still, then I want to buy some more river rock and bark chips for landscaping.
(but that will have to wait until the first paycheck)

I spent almost every weekend in high school edging, weeding, mowing, or washing my parents' cars inside and out. I LOVED it.

Can't wait to have a house so I can do that again. And I'll be excited to put up a clothes line, too!

I despise yard work... it's the thing that I hated most as a home owner. I like it now that I rent and the condo association takes care of all of the plants and everything else.

dont have much of a yard and thats my parents job lol

I would love to have a landscaping business. I did all my own paving, and stone garden edges here. Im quite proud of myself.

I just hate the grass ticks afterwards, when I'm not careful.

I'll show a pic of my handiwork, if I can find one.

This be the drive and path I just did. The path I paved myself.

You can just see a bit of bush rock edging in the background

Doing what needs to be done is good for the heart as well as the soul. A little hard work is always a good thing all around. You'll feel better all around and you've accomplished something worthwhile.

Thanks. I do love my place. I've put over 20 years hard work into it. Built it from the ground up.

Thats why I dont know if I could ever sell. Raised both my girls here too.

Cool. (Can he get me one?)

Is it concrete or grass at the back, where you'll put it?

 

[Keight]

There is a part right near my back door, its grass but i was thinking of paving it maybe.

And maybe he can get more i have to wait until my boss gets back from overseas
