I have started drawing the line on yardwork. We have a fairly small yard and landscapers are STUPID cheap out here. So I don't lift a finger, and we have the greenest lawn on the block! Last week he noticed the palm tree needed trimming, offered to do it for $50. Would I have put on a belt and spikes and climbed a nearly 40ft palm and trimmed it for that? HELL NO!
