Well, we've had a little rain. Not much but a little. Enough that it might induce your grass to grow. Before you cut it though consider this.

I had a friend visiting from Florida recently. She had one of her friends that works with a lawn maintenance company come to my house to pick her up for an outing.

While they were on their outing they had a conversation about my lawn. He commented to her that my lawn was one of the greenest Lawns that he has seen during this extended dry spell. And it is.

See, when I am done cutting my lawn it is longer than most Lawns are before they cut it. My grass is 4 or 5 inches long after I cut it. Especially during these hot summer months I raise my lawn mower deck all the way up as high as it will go before I mow. In the spring and fall I will drop it down a little bit. Not much though. As a result my lawn is still for the most part green.

I had a customer a couple months ago that told me that she wanted her lawn cut shorter than I usually cut. I told her no. I told her that because her lawn is a representation of the results of my work then I would not cut it if she wanted me to cut it in such a fashion that I would get substandard results.

I guess she decided that she didn't like her long green lawn. She got somebody else to come cut it for her. She now has a nicely manicured very evenly cut brown 2 inch lawn.

When you cut your grass short the Sun beats down on the ground and dries up the ground at a very rapid rate. When you cut your grass short the sod thickness isn't as great either. It will just tend to dry up quickly.

So, before you drag that lawnmower out of your garage or shed to mow your lawn back down to that nice beautiful brown layer consider leaving your lawn mower put away for another week or two. Let It Grow. Let it get a little shaggy, then raise your deck up and cut it longer. It will all even itself out when all parts of the lawn catch up. It will look nice, it'll be green, and it will feel good in your toes too.

Do you have one of those steam cleaners for cleaning your carpet? They actually do work very well. You would be amazed how much dirt stays in your carpet even after a thorough vacuuming.

Do you go to the big box stores or to the grocery store and buy cleaner to put in your steam cleaner? That stuff can get very expensive. Depending on where you go a gallon of that stuff will cost you anywhere from 12 to 15 bucks. And if you buy the name brand stuff you might pay that much for a quart.

Try this instead. Take your clean water tank and 1 quart at a time fill it with hot water. Keep track of how many quarts you put in the tank. Once you fill your tank to the full line add 1 teaspoon of laundry soap per quart of water to the tank.

Laundry soap is designed for cleaning Fabrics and will work wonderfully in your steam cleaner.

And you'll save about a bajillion bucks.

City of Bay City residents, did you know:
That you pay more than $120 per year for trash pickup to include leaves and tree trimming?
That you don't really have a choice in that matter?
That if you pay somebody else to rake your leaves or trim one of your trees, the city won't collect them?
That if you have a lawn care service you will essentially pay twice for removal (to the city and again to your service).
That the commission meeting is tonight at 7:30 at the train depot.

As a homeowner in Bay City and as a small business owner, I'm a little peaved and kind of hope you are as well. Hope to see you there.

I was just sitting here thinking about the fall season. Specifically fall clean-ups. Even more specifically, gutter clean-outs. Even more specifically than that, how much I dislike those gutter screens. They seem like a pretty good idea, but in my opinion they aren't.
They do keep out the leaves. Dirt, aggregate from the shingles, seeds, and water still get in there. We've had to pull some pretty big saplings and large weeds out of gutters with screens on them that were growing in more than an inch of funk that still gets in there.
Here's my suggestion, don't put the screens on. The gutters may need cleaned a little more often, but they are much more easily cleaned. Here's how we do it if there's no screens.
If you can walk your roof, simply run a hose up there, walk the roof line and spray them out. If you have a blower it's easier yet. Just blow it out. After you're done simply rake up all the debris. It'll only take a few minutes to clean them out, and only a little longer to rake up the debris. If you can't walk the roof, it's going to take a little longer. You'll have to move the ladder several times. With the hose though you can clean out 10 or 15 feet at a time.
If you have those screens though they will all need to be taken off before you can get that glunk out, and it won't come out quite so easily and will be much messier.

Tootie, there are some photos in the Tooties Place Photo folder. We hope you like what you see. Wish we had taken before photos. Not for your sake, because you already knew what it looked like, but for ours. This is after all the Husband For Hire Bay City page.

Nice place Tootie. We don't know how much you want for it, but we'll buy it. It looks nice now. Cool neighbors too. ...

Nice place Tootie. We don't know how much you want for it, but we'll buy it. It looks nice now. Cool neighbors too. We met them. We cut down a lot of the 1st and second year pine saplings but left all of the oaks and pin-cherries. That way you will have some nice trees out there as the pines die off.

Wow. Went today to do a quick project and it seemed like it took forever. Really nice lady actually. Her husband is 'Doc". Mine actually. All I had to do was change out a faucet, drain pipes, strainers, and a couple of valves. Easy, right?
Well ya know that stuff that will seal everything? You know, the stuff that will float a boat on a screen door? Yup, it works for plumbing too. For a while. When it does go though, and it will, it's a pain to take apart without damaging the sink. It really does stick like glue. Every part was stuck like glue and almost every part was leaking. It probably took three times as long as it should have just to take it apart.
I guess the moral of the story is don't fall to the temptation. Don't do it. When you have to fix it right, or have to hire somebody to do it, you'll be glad you didn't.

We went out and painted a fence for a really nice lady the other day. Wow, she had a lot of fence (and a really delicious pear tree out back). We were able to paint the entire thing in about six hours thanks to a second HVLP sprayer that we purchased for the project. It turned out pretty nice. Of course that's a biased opinion because it's ours, but she was in agreement so we hope that validates our opinion. She asked for two business cards, one for the refrigerator and one to give away. Word-of-mouth advertising is the best kind.
