Though I can say I only charged them $45 for 3 hours of work, so there's that.
0:00 One of the windiest work days I have ever had
0:15 5-foot tall weeds (6 footer coming up!)
0:22 Trash day!
0:45 No clue how it got this bad, I didn't ask
1:00 My guess is it didn't get cut all winter
1:15 These things are COVERED in thorns. Shouldn't touch them
1:45 The TORO is hungry...
1:58 Why you shouldn't care what order I do the overgrown lawn
2:10 Why are you mowing tall grass with the mower flap down?
2:33 Mowing tall grass will either be done a 5" or 3"
3:03 If done at 5" a second pass at 3" will follow
3:30 Here's why I leave debris at the street for city pickup...
4:00 ...and why you are a dummy if you say I should have taken it away
4:41 Mowing away from my precious truck
5:00 Why do you wear that mask?
5:30 I am glad I decided to push to street.
5:40 Wind would have made mulching with mower a nightmare.
6:24 Tackling the narrow side yard
6:55 String trimming tall grass and weeds along house
7:29 Blowing debris from side yard to back yard
7:52 Another mow/string trim for stragglers
8:05 Messy side yard gets mowed real good
8:26 See how much goes to the neighbor's yard?
8:36 With the chute up it would have been much worse.
9:00 Cleaning up the neighbor's yard
9:40 Why am I not using the mower?
10:00 String trimming along house and utilities
10:16 From right to left, valve box, backflow preventer, rain sensor
10:40 Green circle in the ground is cellulose trap for termites
10:59 black wrapped pipe is water supply to house I think
11:14 Doing cracks is always small thing that makes big difference
11:30 These are water meter boxes
11:49 Telephone communications box
12:00 Time to work on the street!
12:28 Driveway cracks are always a must
12:41 These metal posts were installed for support when house was built
13:00 Blowing side yard debris to back.
13:24 Mowing clean the fence line
13:42 There was a deck drop to 3”
14:00 I can hear the ‘u suk at dis, no str8 lines’ comments already
14:40 I have NEVER cared this much about debris management…
15:10 But homeowner specifically asked about how it would look when all done
15:40 And I promised it would look perfect...so it will.
16:00 PUSH IT REAL GOOD
16:15 final string trim?!
16:30 blowing all that junk to the back
16:43 RAISE THE FLAPS!!!!!
17:20 SO MUCH WIND
17:42 final blow?!
17:52 Can’t forget to clean Ol’ Faithful
17:59 No, not final string trim
18:05 Time for the edging!
18:25 If this isn’t oddly satisfying I don’t know what is
18:33 The white driveway is throwing off my white balance :D
18:45 Thankfully the edging went pretty quickly
19:15 Well, everything goes quickly when you speed it up four times normal
19:40 What a tool
19:48 That could have been bad
20:00 Raking went pretty easy
20:23 They were mostly dry at this point so weighed not much
20:45 Remember, if you think I should have hauled away, go back and watch the whole video for why you are wrong :)
21:03 Final cleanup
21:37 From frightening to fantastic
21:50 Oh, by the way, how is your day?
22:30 I hope it is going well, and I hope you enjoyed the video!
23:30 I will leave you with this drone shot, bye for now!
