[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone commiserate with me. This week we did the following things: 1) Spring clean up and mulching - $1000 2) Major car repair - $3200 3) New HVAC - $5500 4) French drain in basement - $2800 5) Taxes - owe $8000 UGHHHH we had the money saved to do all of this but good lord it sucks writing those checks out! Being an adult is expensive! [/quote] [b]Why didn't you just do your yard work yourself?[/b] You got off cheaply with the HVAC. Ours was over $10K.[/quote] We just paid $1200 for ours. A chunk of that is mulching, so even if we did it ourselves it would not be free. I don't mind gardening, but i consider the spring clean up a bargain. The crew took out a truckload of trimmings and debris, and spread yards of mulch. The team was about 8 guys, working for about 3 hours, so 24 man hours. No way do I have 24 hours to spend on yardwork![/quote]
