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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
