    Aint that the truth, the traffic is just mental. And why do so many people want to live so close to each other?
    I feel for all the poor lawnies that have to deal with it down there

    she is his aunt btw, had to chuckle when she told me!

    Walked past a tiny backyard in a less than flash housing establishment on the way to a job, this woman stops me and says ' can you mow my grass, I have no mower and I'm cutting the grass using these scissors?' I say 'how much will you pay me'? She says with a look of shock on her face 'You want money?' I say 'well Yeah its not free and keep walking'

    She was about 60, scary to think how she got that old and not realise that there are people that work for a living. Maybe she thought the guvment was paying.

    Saw a guy today when I was coming home from the hospital, doing a big murraya hedge with hand shears. He was a contractor, and it was at least 8 foot tall..... I wonder how much he was charging because it would of taken him all day. Probably an hour and a half with the right gear. It made me laugh, but really you have to wonder what some guys are thinking, standing on a ladder reaching out with hand shears

    I have had one potential client ask me to do a hedge with hand clippers they thought the hedge trimmer would damage the hedge to much. I didnt take the job

    I have a few older customers that insist, even though I keep my hedgers razor sharp, that I use hand shears ...they also worry about foliage damage ...
    I dont break things ...I just use them beyond their operational limitations

    I've done 4 small hedges including my own, my arms ache like a toothache, too hard for me, I pity the guys who work in the Bowral region.
