After getting the boys to school yesterday morning I headed to my first job which was to comb through the rocks of my client's front yard and remove any and all weeds and grasses that had managed to grow in the mild fall temps. It was only about 15 minutes but I made note in my work log of it.
Next was just down the hill a mile to my next client where I cleaned up her planters in her back yard and removed a couple larger dead grasses. I had to install Flora Incognita app on my phone to identify this as a possible perennial to be left.
The veggie plants came out as well as any other annuals. I will end up back later once the big maple tree has finished dropping the bulk of its leaves in her backyard.
Then back up over the 5 mile plateau and to my next client's where this tree was to be cut down. This turned into a serious shit show thanks to the asshole neighbor.
He had been in his backyard right below me on hte other side of the fence as I climbed up my ladder and began taking branches down. Not once did he decide to look at the motion going on and say anything about what I was doing until I had 2 branches left to cut. Then he began yelling at me "that is my tree!!!" and I did not take kindly to being yelled at so laid into him. The escalation continued and he says that he owns about a foot on my client's side of the fence. He went to tie up a string line to show where he thinks he owns and I demanded to see the surveyor stakes which is the ONLY thing that legally says where his property line is. There are none. At one point he said he'd call the cops and they would show where the line is... I laughed and said that's not what cops do, they won't measure your property line.
I eventually got my client who went and talked him off the cliff and I was "allowed" to finish cutting the tree down.
It is nice maple wood though. I loaded it all up into my truck to haul home.
I got a message from my next client about a slight change in her time so I quickly emptied my truck once home then took off right away for her house up north.
I hung her very heavy grandfather clock in an upstairs room, I used a heavy hook and drilled it deep into a stud. The clock is quite heavy, probably 50 pounds, so wanted to make sure it would be good and strong of a hook.
Had some misc tasks to take care of then spent some time planting these bulbs around her yard. About 120 tulip and daffodil bulbs which I planted in groupings along her driveway and around some of the larger trees. They needed to go in partial shade areas but I did put a grouping of daffodils by the corner of her house near the a/c unit.
In the evening a air lift pump had finished, properly this time, on the #3dprinter without borking in any way. I will get the next one and likely last for now printing today.
The Seahawks shit the bed badly and got demolished by the Bears. THE BEARS!!! Really!? That pretty well blew any chances of a post season for them.
I got my new tool for my truck computer and will be trying it out today to see if I can get any better info from the Toyota sensors. My problems are now only located in the passenger side as the p301,303,and 305 keep popping. Along with the p174 too lean. I need to check the manifold for cracks as I know the gaskets are good.
Today I get the boys to school, get gas on the way to my session, stop at Home Depot after for supplies for later, go to Dentist for cleaning, then go winterize a vacant house for a client in north Spokane. Once home I need to wrap the muffler in hopes of closing the gaping holes in it.
