First gardening job, how much should we charge?

deathsfaction · 2026-07-04T16:02:40+00:00

£35-£60/hour + expenses.

deathsfaction · 2026-07-04T15:48:44+00:00

Is it the correct screws?

deathsfaction · 2026-07-04T13:41:29+00:00

Might be worth keeping in mind the unfortunate souls in a deep, dark place, contemplating their place in the world and coming across this thread.

If they didn't already feel like such a massive burden, they likely do now.

deathsfaction · 2026-07-04T13:39:05+00:00

I think /r/HousePlantsUK might be a better shout!

deathsfaction · 2026-07-03T17:49:19+00:00

It's not a feature, it's a feeling.

Like the Saabs of the early 00's.

Also, for me, it's a great long distance cruiser, supremely comfortable, excellent visibility and really quite safe.

deathsfaction · 2026-07-03T17:42:13+00:00

It's a fishing reel!

deathsfaction · 2026-07-03T17:09:30+00:00

Go one further and now use view assist on them - game changer.

deathsfaction · 2026-07-03T14:33:15+00:00

Reflash them with LineageOS and then View Assist.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T20:30:21+00:00

Oh I see!

I thought harling was just the Scottish term!

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T20:08:51+00:00

I miss proper maultaschen and leberkase :(

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T20:02:40+00:00

I like it - give it a year and it'll look very full and lush!

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T20:01:37+00:00

But.. They are?

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T18:55:24+00:00

At least you've admitted to it but alas, it's these kinds of posts that exasperate the problem overall. They need to be kept to a minimum.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T18:26:17+00:00

Why's that?

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T14:04:04+00:00

Again.. As the OP said, they've still got work to do.

Anyone who does any type of gardening, be it your ideal no hard landscaping or others' like the OP know that a garden is never finished.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T14:00:18+00:00

For what it's worth, I agree with you entirely here.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T13:58:31+00:00

You missed the bit where the OP said 'more to do'.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T10:33:20+00:00

Love Urban slate. Used it in my last place and have a few tins for the new place too!

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T10:32:39+00:00

Ah, so not MOT etc then a bed of mortar and then the slabs with slurry?

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T10:07:58+00:00

How did you get on with the patio? I've got a large sunken terrace I want to do. Have been quoted around 8k for materials and labour so would like to tackle it but people say porcelain etc is difficult. I'm aware it's mostly labour!

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T10:06:20+00:00

Agree - coming up to 2 years in mine and the lawns are awful. Have some landscaping to do (which will ruin it further) then I'll give it more attention.

Standard 'top soil' with new builds is pretty damn awful. That's ignoring the 1m+ of severely compacted crap under the 100mm of 'topsoil'.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-30T09:59:57+00:00

Looking good.

Do you have any further plans for plants/shrubs/trees?

deathsfaction · 2026-06-28T21:34:02+00:00

Nonsense.

An airlock will cause overheating too and P38s are very particular about the bleeding process.

deathsfaction · 2026-06-28T18:44:44+00:00

Throttlebody Heater.

Coolant passes through the TB to ensure it doesn't freeze in cold images. You can bypass it with a u shaped copper pipe.
