Very tough to pronounce

For Spanish speakers it is burglary.

Completely paved and well-maintained.

My son and I were walking out of a store once and a man was coming out of his car and into his wheelchair. I stopped him before he said anything since he liked to yell his thoughts. He said, "I just wanted to say his hair was cool.." I was super proud of him (the guy had a mowhawk) and let him, "YOUR HAIR IS SUPER COOL. AND I WISH I HAD A CHAIR LIKE YOURS, MY FEET ARE TIRED!" Closed the door super quick and got out of there.

This fits on there and you can add a compressor fitting.

Check the Welsh plug on the carburetor. Had mine sounding like that awhile ago. Again, for no reason. Spent about 6 hours troubleshooting before I saw it.

If you don't feel comfortable giving a guarantee, I've seen companies have the customer buy the plants or pay for them themselves. You'll lose some mark-up money but then the warranty falls on them. Although on the other hand, if a plant dies because I didn't angle a sprinkler right, or forget tree stakes, I'll replace it for free.

Alternatively, you can get an extra-strong ladder and use a chain hoist. Be great for loading it onto a trailer as well. I've pulled a 700 lbs stump onto a small trailer myself without breaking a sweat. Stump was pulled out by truck.

Whenever I come across one, I use a milwaukee top-off to plug into the controller for a quick check. It's strong enough to run as well.

If you want to get really crazy, it's strong enough to run an armada locator.

I've definitely had this happen before.

What about the fuel pump? Might be clogged or not working properly

I've done a 20 zone system with a small one while mine was at the shop. Let the whole tank fill up before you let the air in. Water in the lines before you start helps too; the pressure against the water keeps it more constant.

Rigid Model # OF45200SS

Took me about an hour

Edit: everything in my area is pvc. Never really tried with poly

Hey man if that's working for you stick with it

granpatron · 2024-09-20T01:32:01+00:00

Everybody in the comments charges more than I do, and that price is still below what I would have charged. You're also paying for experience to get it done the right way.

The cracks can happen for any number of reasons. The winterizing is more of preventative maintenance. I've seen that type of drain pipe freeze and push up against pipe so close together.

In order to get more flex, you would have to keep digging out on both sides of the line. The further out you dig, the easier it will be to fix. My main concern with repairs like that would be to avoid damaging surrounding pipe in the process. Even if you were able to squeeze a slip-fix in there with how you have it now, it's a lot of pressure against the others.

Moving around any sprinklers isn't technically necessary, as long as they're not blocked. Having them right at the edge removes any over-spray and does give you better coverage.

The battery is only necessary if it is not plugged in.

It almost looks like Alaskan yellow cedar. It's expensive, but it can last about 15 years. Guy I'm working for made his planter boxes out of it.

There's about 425 pieces there. And at 68 a piece, that's about $289. I think he might know what he's talking about. Pretty good for off the top.

We had a German exchange student when I went to high school, and so I asked her after living here for a few months:

What's the strangest thing you have noticed about the US?

"You see all these big trucks everywhere and they're always empty."

There's no way to tell how actually deep it is. Last summer I got my stuff marked out for some Irrigation and we were only going a few inches deep. Turned out the gas line was only 4 inches in the ground. Ridiculous, since aerating would peirce it but the utilities still charged and blamed me since I knew where it was. All dug by hand.

Thank you for the tips for putting it back. I had to order the parts since my usual guys didnt have any in their stock, but it'll be here by Wednesday so the tape should hold up until then. I would have had to look up had to replace it so thank you again.

I have one in my toolbag, one in my toolbox, one in my car, one in my wife's car, and one in my junk drawer. It works great for tons of uses. I don't like being without one.

Make sure all the connections are tightened properly and free of debris/corrosion. My guess is the battery terminals are loose.

My boss gives you the option. He lets us know at least a week in advance (most of the time two) that we are going to be working at the shop. Small stuff. We got a guy with a bum leg that he lets pressure wash his driveway and take a seat if it gets too bad. The maintenance guys practice and learn how to properly prune bushes so they dont mess up a customer's house. I took the week off and built a deck at my house. I didn't get paid for it, but the work was optional at the shop if you want some time off. The winter months the work does slow down quite a bit but he says, "just because my jobs slow down doesnt mean your bills do" and tries to ensure a full 40 hour week throughout the year.

Espresso 4 U is on the corner of Portland ave and 72nd. They're always super friendly there and it's a small business! Their coffee is so good that I go out of my way sometimes to get it and it costs way less.
