Plan B could have been inviting FOH peeps over, handing them tools and providing alcohol.

Of course, that kind of requires some level of self-doxxing, so maybe Plan A was a better idea.

Did you just pay a family to come over and owrk on your yard, though? Did I see a mother/grandmother out there doing yard work? Am I high right now?

You aint high.

Those two women removed 6 hedges with fuckin chainsaws. Trimmed bushes. Cleaned my gutters. Cut grass. Raked. Bagged. Removed all the crap in a pickup that I guess was the husband/father left. 300 bucks. I gave the two women 20 each on top of that. I felt like an ass. They were in my yard busting their hump, while I played video games.

Yard still looks meh. But at least I can go out there now and make it look good.

I'm kidding, but that situation is triggering my guilt from half the country away and it's not even my yard, LOL

Honest to God, I feel like people have to bag because they're lazy and let the grass get too tall.

any quick tips on exterior painting? when power washing my deck, the force of the water from the backsplash basically stripped some of the paint off the mouding on my door, when looking at it, i can basically peel off a footlong chunk of paint.

so yea, i don't know if i'm supposed to strip or rip or whatever, i just want to repaint it bland white trim, mind you staining the deck is actually the first bit of "painting" i've ever done... so thats what you're working with heh.

Oh but i actually have purdy paint brushes and rollers on hand, i knew i'd be painting eventually and bought em on sale.
