    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    It's a great feeling. Nice to have a big dose of the warm and fuzzies.

    I got asked to quote on a 10 acre property which was for sale, and had been neglected for some time by the ill owner.
    Had a look and advised the relatives that it was mostly too overgrown for me, and I could only do a section around the buildings for $300-400, and it would be cheaper to get a tractor/slasher to do the job, and that they themselves could do the house yard in an hour.

    Long story short, I met with the rellies(visiting from Brisbane) yesterday, and got the job to make the place as presentable as possible for sale up to $1k.

    Nice suprise when most of my regular jobs have dried up for the winter
