I can read- I just don't like too, I prefer to wait on the video!

Yeah, I saw that, but thought/hoped you meant bathroom floors.

Well, so far, how do you like the laminate floors? PS: What's a "P-Trap"?

Never mind, I know now...

P-trap

 

I hate the laminate. It wasn't my idea. LOL. I'm a carpet guy.

We do have a few decent rugs on the floor so that helps.

 

Yeah, and grass grows in Dallas from March - November. $160/month x 9 = $1,440/year on lawn service. (This doesn't include the hedges @ $60.00 per pop). I avoided that first $60 this year, by getting out there, and doing them myself.

Cut my power cord, and my leaf blower/vacum died after 7 years, but- I guess I've gotten my money's worth from it. It did have a job for the first 4 years we lived there. I guess I can get rid of that old POS lawnmower I have. It still works, but has been collecting dust the last few years.

I would give it to the lawn-mower guy, but they have those Toro Commercial mowers. I guess they are more durable than the 6.5 HP, adjustable height, $179.00 Briggs & Stratton specials from Wally-World.

 

Hersh, thats about the going rate for a yard job.

 

Ive always washed my own truck. I dont think its ever even been through an automated wash. IVe always changed my own oil too. I mowed my yard growing up. but now have an apt so there is no upkeep....

 

Plus his wife hasn't seen enough of his Risky Business, Tom Cruise moves to be tired of them yet.....

I've got laminate down in the entryway of my house. That stuff is as slick as....

 

I do what I can, and have time to do. I do my yard work, and some of my parents. I usually wash my vehicles, if I have time I'll go do mom's car.

One thing I refuse to do is change the oil in my DD Mazda 626. I'll gladly spend that $20 every 6-8 weeks.

 

When I was working 60~ hours a week, and taking 1-2 night classes I still refused to let anyone touch my truck. It may have gone a little longer between washes, but there is just no way in hell I am going to trust some random detailer, and ESPECIALLY not a drive-thru car wash to clean my truck.

It's just not worth it...

I used to wash 1-2 times a week, and go no more than 2-3 weeks between waxes, but now I wash about once every 2 weeks, and wax every 2-3 months. Then again, I have two new vehicles to maintain, so that doesn't help either

 

I wash my own truck weekly, wax it monthly, change my own oil (all 15 quarts of it), and do most all of the work on it.

As for the lawn, I don't have a house with a lawn to mow, but at home I do work for my buddy's landscaping company.

 

Yeeeeeep. My oil pan is a 5 gallon bucket. The filter alone holds 2 quarts...

 

Fixed

 

Still working on that p-trap, eh?

In our house there are walls open upstairs, and in the stairway to the basement. Upstairs I had to access the chimney through a couple walls. The wall in the stairway to the basement was damaged when we bought the house and I had to cut more out to run heating pipes to a room on the second floor. I need to patch the wall in the stairway and upstairs and then build shelves upstairs.

There is a hole in the basement floor where the chimney once stood. I need to fill in the hole and then reorganize the basement. Again.

I removed the chimney because it was falling apart and it was cheaper to install a power vent hydronic boiler with a indirect hot water tank than to repair the chimney. There used to be forced hot air and the furnace was old. I had to run all new piping and install baseboard heat. In the process I replaced all the water and gas piping.

The deck out back is much smaller than it was last year, because I've cut about eight feet of it away, so that there is room for a garage. I need to replace the decking material and put up the new railing.

The remains of the chimney are in a pile in the back yard. The brain surgeon who built this house in 1925 didn't use brick to build the chimney. It was concrete formed. I need to remove the floor of the garage and have all the concrete taken away

The Expedition is in the garage and hasn't been washed in a while.

The lawn just started to grow, and now needs to be cut.

I work all day on other peoples houses and don't much feel like working on my own when I get home.

I am a do-it-yourselfer out of necessity. If I could afford to pay someone to finish the projects I've started and to keep up with routine maintainance, I would.

 

Yeah, I used to be **** about washing my car... My first car was white, and contrary to popular belief, it's easier to keep white "clean", because it still looks clean, even when it's dusty. I wased it weekly- maybe twice if it rained and I got splash up the side of it.

When I traded the white car, and got that "teal" Cutlass, I was washing that bad boy 2-3 times a week to keep it as "clean" as the Cavalier was. That's when I realized I wasn't doing such a great job keeping the Cavalier clean, the white hid the dust (except for on the windows) that the Cutlass showed me every day. Same deal with the Accord.

With the white Maxima, I was back on easy street, this time though I was in an apartment, and had to go to the local rack, same with our Black Pathfinder- both of which I washed weekly.

Soon, I grew tired of that routine, and after washing that big-**** F-150 by hand a few times, I learned to be "satisfied" with the "touchless" automated washers, then I'd detail my tires/rims & windows- and call it a day.

Now, I'll go weeks between washes, and when I do wash it, it's handing the guys at Oasis, or Mi-T-Fine $6.00, and driving it through the chute.

It doesn't look as clean as it would if I did it by hand, but... I don't have time.

I need to wax them though, I haven't waxed either of our new cars, and it's been a year now. Mi-T-Fine charges $30.00 to do a wax job, but- I saw a Black Escalade they did....

OoooooooohWeeee. She looked like a big black mirror. You could see the sky, trees, and everything in that paint job.

 

I gave up fast on keeping the Cougar clean, that black sapphire paint showed every speck of dust. But when it was clean

I love the white paint on the 150, that thing looks clean for weeks if I stick to roads.
