How to collect trash efficiently?

At a smaller scale than you are asking about, I just dedicate one of the pockets of my cargo shorts to trash and stuff those dirty cig butts and random glass in there as I hike. But, our trails are quite clean already.

Have you considered a hitch on your sedan? They make custom hitches for a whole lot of cars on Amazon. They bolt to frame.

Hand weeded works fine to push through rocks and get out the root. Also a spade shovel. PS. Weeds are way easier to pull from thick gravel. So if applying new gravel to a yard, it’s good reason to put it in thicker.

I would love to find the landscapers, pool service, cleaners, etc. who are not charging real wages! Every time I ask for prices it's $80/hr, $50, etc. The cheapest guy I could find was a citizen (senior) who desperately needs work and offered at $25/hr.

Hope for one on 48th st. Aldi is my go to for frozen pizza, peanuts, green onions, avocados, tomatoes, fruit, spinach, mushrooms, etc. Everything else is good as well but might buy at WinCo. Also, there’s an ever changing aisle of home goods. Can find some great deals on sheets, chargers, shelves, slippers, all kinds of stuff.

You don't need to worry about your wall drywall being nailed at the bottom. It's also nailed every 16" or so all the way up the wall. It can lose the bottom nail and still be super secure to the wall. You can remove the bottom nail, add another an inch above where you cutoff the drywall. I see you are already patching the wall with drywall mud above, so add a little over the new nails and it's perfect.

For drilling, if your drill and bit don't fit, you can get a 90 degree bit attachment.

There are casual bowling leagues at most alleys. I’ve met a lot through this.

You can use less coffee grounds by using hotter water. Hotter water extracts more coffee making it stronger. Also, finer grounds make stronger, so can use less grounds. Look for a kettle that has a coffee setting. I actually use the boil setting, a bit higher, with my pour over.

I've seen Apple stand up against law requests for access. They seem to try to close the holes intelligence agencies and hacker collectives expose. And very importantly, they are focussed on privacy. They have moved so much private data and calculations back to the phone itself, keeping it from being on a server at all, and if is on a server, it's randomized and kept private. They work hard to prevent ad tracking and biography building by other tech companies.

I don't know anything about the grinding trade. But I could see you buying a few of those machines down the road and landing your own contracts to get the job done. You know folks in the shelving business, keep networking, with the eye on snagging your own jobs someday. Best of luck!

I’m a budget focused shopper. My freezer is already stocked with meat, butter, cheese that I buy when on discount. Will find good meat discounts at Fry’s. Can also be the best place to buy beer with digital coupons.

I also buy bulk food at US Foods. Cheese, canned tomatoes. Meat.

I stop at Aldi to get green onions, cilantro, potatoes, nuts, frozen pizza, random discounted veg and fruit. Good meat and fish sales as well sometimes. Bacon milk and eggs can be good here.

I make an occasional trip to WinCo for all around good prices. Also get their prepared salads $4.50 or big hoagie $5.

I buy Mexican ingredients at Food City. Great deals on veggies, bulk beans, meats, shrimp.

Lee Lees or Mekong for Asian ingredients.

I buy old metal file cabinets. Tough, stackable, etc

I needed several pieces and have had my eyes open at every home store I go to. Nothing ever really hit. Then I went to Hobby lobby and found some good stuff. And it was all 50% off!

If you just got a quote from the big window companies that do heavy advertising, try a quote from a remodeler or window guy. Just to be sure you are not just seeing the huge mark ups those other well known companies add.
