The Home Guru: If the Job Outside Is Too Big, Don't Fight It. Get Help

Has your property run wild with neglect? Don't be embarrassed to ask for professional help when you need it.

Sadly I haven't invited anybody over to my property this summer or last to swim or lounge with us on the patio because I'm embarrassed.

Yes, I'm embarrassed for having let my property run wild with overgrowth that I had no time to manage for the past two years, plus the severity of damage I experienced last year with the tropical storm Irene.

When it came time to either wait until I became entangled in a jungle of my own making or face the problem head on, I chose the latter, but only armed with professional help.

After all, that's what landscape services are around for, right?

The accompanying video shows how big a job it was and why I couldn't possibly have tackled it on my own.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
