i feel ya bro. When I get a little jobby, I try to make it easy to maintain, usually because Im the guy thats gotta do it too. As long as there is land, people need to scape it. And i think I read somewhere that 70% of the earths land mass is grass, so someones gotta mow it.

Im just funnin with you. Dont be so dramatic. Besides, I have philosophies of my own too. One is to just shrug off the words of an arrogant dusty old fart that will be dead in a decade.
Honestly, I dont even know where this went sour. Im reading up and it just looks like you are just a jerk. -

Being a grunt is much more fulfilling when you are doing your own grunt work. Matter of fact, I have a couple jobs lined up in the fall where I will be fixing the problems created by a designer standing and pointing their finger.
