ok my front and back yard are pretty far gone as far as maintenance.  I blame the 1 year old lawn mower that died.  I am extremely lazy, lol.  Neighborhood kids wont touch it.  But basically I need, Leaf removal, grass cutting, and over grown kudzu/hedges cut back.  Most of the places in charlotte just kinda do lawn care ballentyne style. Which is not what I need.

 

Update:

 

So I threw my lawn mower in the trunk and went to find a repair shop. I got a few blocks and some guy flagged me down and asked me what I was doing with the lawnmower.  I told him I was looking for a repair shop.  He says he does small engine repair and would be happy to look at it.  While he was fixing it, I noticed he had dish network. Told him I work for them etc.  Just so happens hes been having an issue with his Dish system.  So we ended up fixing each others problems.  I still gave him some money anyways.  Lawnmower works perfectly on the first pull.  I will update again if I decide to do something with the leaves that are 3 years old. :)

Craigslist. You can find someone to come do all that poo for probably around $50-$80 bucks. Make sure you don't pay until absolutely everything is finished though. I got burned a couple years so. Had two guys come and haul some leaves from my backyard. They had to leave cause it was dark and said they would come back to get the rest the next day. I stupidly paid them and they never came to haul the rest.

I avoided hiring anyone for a long time and finally got so busy that I pay a lawn service. Local guy. Started 6 months ago and we have the perfect lawn now. Just immaculate.

 

But I will tell you there are tons of Mexicans working for $10/hr cash who do a great job as you would expect.

You can usually find quite a few hanging around lowes/ home depot type places that are really hungry to make a couple of bucks.  As noted they usually do good work as well.

Usually one of two ways

1) There will be a corner somewhere in Charlotte where guys congregate looking for under the table hourly work. They may need transportation and food but they will work like demons for a great hourly wage.

2) Word of mouth. Somebody in your neighborhood has a guy. Ask around.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
