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.

Now I’m all depressed.  I guess I can leave that day open!!  See, you’re teaching us all kinds of stuff, like how it is best to use a pencil when you are writing the schedule!!  😛

I’ve never understood why the most harmless of things things are shot right down over some policy or ordinance.

Oh by far do I appreciate just about everyone in this line of work.  I’m not sure what you are communicating.  Like, are you mad about something I said?

[William Douglas]

Sounds like you really got it goin on!!  Just wanting to do it is half the battle.  One day I would like to get out of the maintenance aspect of it all, but hindsight 2020, me being on a property regularly tends to get me more biz.  So in the same breath I kinda gotta keep on it.  But I’ll get there eventually I’m sure of it.

Where will you be in 2026?  LOL

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.  One of them, lets just say $100 worth of weedblock fabric on a $10k rock garden could have saved their reputation.  All because they gave a foreman a budget and told him to keep the change.  “We no need eet señor, es only rocks.”  I’m absolutely positive that if he stayed on site for more than 5 minutes he’d have caught that.

I wouldn’t know the first thing about golf courses, as I don’t play golf.  I tried.  I was so over par that they had to make a new handicap level just for me.  I’d also imagine the owners of those things being hard to work with.

To be real honest with you, a path that girthy I would suggest you stick with a softer curve. If it were my project, I would think of it as a slow moving river.
