How much time is the average care taker taking when it comes to their yard? For me its part of exercise that I actually enjoy and part just taking care of my property and keeping it updated but still I feel like there are not enough hours in the day. Prune, cut, chop, weed eat, etc. Help!

I think after moving into our newest place I am wondering since the size of everything is different than what we are used to, if its worth to actually make a schedule. It seems like each time I want to work on a certain project no matter how big or small I end up forgetting something and its...

I need all the help I can get, how can I be sure that I am not overseeding when I am planting? I think it would be okay as long as its not "too much" but I could be wrong here too.

Is there a proper time? I would assume so and maybe that is what I am doing wrong here. I know there is the right and wrong time to water, but feeding I have never really thought about that much. :ashamed:

Ours tends to get a little on the dirty side and I am sure we could do something simple like hand wash it, but is it worth power washing maybe once a year and applying some type of coating to keep the dirt at bay more?

Those that you can order and they come in pieces, you put it today vs. those that someone hand builds on your property and you pay for labor. Which is better and why? I need a shed but I am also thinking about just picking up one from Home Depot or some place and having it delivered and set in...

I am pretty sure its flat concrete underneath but right now the paint on it (a nasty color red) is peeling up and will need to be redone. What is the best type of paint that will make it through a few winters before it starts to peel again?

We have a dishwasher that was installed by a pro and I am not sure what is going on but over a year later now, its leaking from somewhere. I open the cabinets and I see nothing, no leaks anywhere, now on the floor I do. Anyone know how to properly diagnose this issue? :eek:

Right now we have an older porch on the front that I am pretty sure all bees now love, its like there is an invisible sign that says "Come chew on me". Does anyone know how to get rid of these buggers?

There are certain things that we should all avoid if we can but does anyone know of a good list to go from? I caught this on another board I visit and they did not have a list either but thought it would be a good idea, now that's got me thinking. I checked Google, cant find a darn thing, any...

Has anyone done this before? Right now we have a hose hookup in the front but not the back (no idea why either), so we can spray the house off when it gets windy and gets the dirt kicked up, but we are thinking of hiring someone for a professional job. Help?

This year we are going to need to spend the extra money to take care of the front yard, for some reason the natural grass that came with the house is all but dying now. I have no idea whats going on but I fear its going to cost a fortune.
