  12. Well done. Now we can see the car better. Good to see that you didn't waste any valuable wrench time cleaning up. Yard work is a time bandit!

  14. What is that stuff? Is it indigenous to the Houston area or is that one of those invasive species?:D

  16. I have a landscaping service that does the spring and fall clean ups and cuts the grass, definitely worth it. Me and my sons do the bush trimming and other stuff, goes quick.

    When I had my stock cars... the busier I was with them, the worse the yard looked. I would cut only the front to keep the town officials at bay.
     
  17. After yard work, it's good to go for a cruise!

    My wife planted some Bamboo......
     
  20. One of the "dirty dozen" invasive plants. Some towns by me have it outlawed. But great shit is you like next to a dirtbag... although they may not even notice....
     
  21. Yep and not as bad to stick you in the eye or tickle your nose. :D

    Unfortunately there's more to life then working on old cars. Yard work is a PITA.

  23. LOL I am hoping that spring holds off here for a while. I got an acre of grass and weeds to keep chopped down not to mention the flower beds. Gonna be a real bitch this year I am afraid.

    LOL we planted bamboo along the fence once when we had a neighbor that was a prick. He bitched about seeing my old heap in the back yard to the HOA. he wanted me to put up a privacy fence. The HOA said that if I would plat a shrub or plat that would grow at least 6' high along the fence that would be fine. Well bamboo grows dense and tall. LOL.

    Well its hard to control. They got a rule that you have to keep your yard mowed here and the code Nazis will be all over your ass if you don't.

    lots of people have their flowers along the fence for some reason.

    I got another neighbor with "endangered" thistles. When I first came back from Mexico I rented a place. I didn't have a lawn mower yet but was going to get one my first payday which was two weeks away. This particular neighbor had one of those better homes and gardens yards. Anyway I am in the house a week and I get a notice 2 says or they'll mow it for me at a cost of 200 dollars. When I called about it they said that they got a tip about my yard. I borrowed a mower and found out who turned me in.

    Long story short I knew where there were some of these thistles growing, and cut some and sprinkled thistle seeds all over his yard. Then when they started to come up I called conservation to tell them about the thistles. they sent a guy out and sure enough they could not be cut or killed, but the guy did get a little plack to put in his yard. :D

    I have a prick that lives next door to me. He has all types of trash and crap laying all over his yard. A real eyesore and he's an A__hole to boot. My wife any I bit the bullet and put up an 8'tall stockade fence running the whole length of the property. It was expensive but worth the privacy. Oh yeah, we have the "Nice side" facing us!

    I hate bamboo, vines, and blackberry, since they all grow in my yard. Years of other people's laziness has made the problem hard to control, I've even had landscapers who didn't want to deal with it.

    A mix of Roundup and 24D in a sprayer will fix just about any "green problems" right up.
