Uncontrolled loud crying children are incredibly annoying. My kids never did that when we were out.

sadly, it often happens with parents who just allow them to scream ad nauseam.

Interesting minimalist landscape design. Should be very easy to maintain.

I am having the front and side of my property relandscaped. It will be several weeks before it is completed. Originally, the bank in the front and on the side of the house was covered in English ivy which is considered an invasive weed in the Pacific North West. Our climate is ideal for it to florish. Unfortunately, It has invaded a lot of woodlands, climbing and strangling the trees. Eventually, 17 to 20 tons of bolders will contain errosion. The pockets between the rocks will be planted with a variety of pants, including non-invasive ground cover. This rock garden will be irrigated with a combonation drip and spay system.

The project is costing me a bundle. However, I think the results will justify the expense and increase the property's value. As part of this redo, I'm having a new driveway and front walk installed.

Here are some in-process photos.



Have you tried to seduce the poor Mexicans into your house to play with their peckers?

Thank you mate, my father gave me the greatest gift I ever received by passing on his knowledge and teaching me how to earn a living for myself as well as having a lot of job satisfaction, self employment is the utter dregs at times but not having to answer to anyone is worth it all mate

That looks awesome mate and will massively enhance the appearance of your home when complete I hope you will post complete stage photos as would love to see the end result, you have a lot of land with your home a plot that size over here would cost an absolute fortune. Can’t stand ivy there was a time when everyone was planting it on the front of their houses here later to find out that unless the pointing in the brickwork is sound it grows into it and destroys it even seen it growing into people’s loft space as well as strangling trees like you said. Most garden walls I have taken down have roots growing inside it along the entire bottom brick course the damage they can do is immense.

Is there a decent market for paving and landscaping over there in the states? It would be great to do this job but in a bit better climate and not be at the mercy of the shitty English weather, it’s paradise working outdoors in the summer but winters are an utter drag

Not strictly what did today, two random photos at work one using my favourite wacker plate and another enjoying work on a hot summers day already seems a distant memory with the shitty cold weather creeping in

I live in Southern California.


There is basically zero market for non-Hispanic cut rate landscapers. I pay like 40$ a month and they roll through in a pack of 12 and knock my back and front yard out in 15 minutes.

What about the paving and patio installation side of things? I don’t do the mowing lawns and pruning hedges shit the gypsys over here do that similar to how the Mexicans over there do

No.

Where did you get the idea that Mexicans are doing this landscape project?


I assumed because most Mexicans grew up catholic, so they’re used to old creepers trying to smoke their poles.

General contractors are usually white dudes, but their workers are Mexicans. Also a fair deal of ex con types.

Completely agree with you, self employment is I think the most successful way to be proud of your job. Also I have to say from personal experience the toughest one. Discipline, a smart mind and a patient wife are absolutely required also.

I was good person, complimented some strangers, tipped well, worked my ass off, bought some black distressed jeans, smiled, took the mamasita out for sushi and listened to her bull shit ;D while i watched the Rams game, got a good bye kiss

then went to the gym - late night trip  arms (obvi  ;D)  I love to mix it up and train at night every so often. I like to train on a full stomach - all the sodium gives me an epic pump

things are good

if I was a rich man, then I would fly Henda here, in a private jet, to fix my garden.

Then I would feed him with all the sausage, crisps and pints of milk that he desired.

I’m worried about Hendas diet!

He needs to eat more fruits and vegetables!

10 in the evening here. Just came out of the shower. Now enjoying a cold pressed fruit drink whille sitting bare assed, wrapped in a towel, in front of the laptop. You know it is one of those love-hate situations where you feel relaxed, but you have to get dressed before the towel makes the office chair wet.  :D
