Here's the thing, Cars. There are people whose job it is to cut the grass on the farm. I cut the grass around the pool and the perimeter of my home because they don't take the kind of care I do. I'm particular about how my stuff looks. I have a couple of friends who hire people to do every little thing for them and who also complain endlessly about a few pounds that are hanging on. I tell them all the time, if they did their own crap they wouldn't have that complaint. I just don't fancy paying someone to do something I'm capable of doing myself. That's not to say I don't ever do it, but it's usually because I'm pressed for time and overwhelmed with work.
That's commendable Ms D, you're absolutely spot on. If you want something done just right, most times you have to do it yourself.
There are times, that I "re-do" something that I paid professions to do. They did it, but it was not exactly to my standards. I don't use their services again.
Except for the lawn service, my property has some tough terrain areas where they don't do it to my standards. So I bitch at them, they fix it, and they say the will do better next time.
I just have to keep on top of them.
Over the years, I've had several lawn services, some see the terrain and want outrageous $$$. So I just have to keep on top of my current service.
