My town has had a problem since backyard chicken coops became a thing - the extra food people would leave around attracted rats which then started getting in to houses.

From my years working in landscaping; No one understands what a yard of material really is, or how far it spreads. He's either selling more than a yard as a yard (very common, the bucket on the front end loader is big, and I'm too lazy to do it with the smaller machine) or he's implying that everyone else is selling less than a yard as a yard (very common, people are dumb and don't understand how much a yard really is). The other possibility is that he's going extremely thin with his mulch, which has it's pros and cons. I'd also say that in that photo the beds are inexcusably lumpy for a property that was just done, and I wouldn't have picked it for an advertisement shot.

pile of brown posted:The pricing is per square yard of area covered not per yard of a house It would actually be cubic yard of material. Mulch does have thickness. If you were selling based on the area covered, you could lay the thinnest most ineffectual layer and still technically be covering. Bulk material is usually sold by volume. Loam, Gravel, Mulch, Soil, etc. Larger loads might be sold by weight. Most material yards just kind of round off on the numbers when you get loaded though. A typical "general purpose" skidsteer bucket runs between 5 and 7 feet with a capacity of roughly .4 cubic yards to .8 cubic yards. So the operator is just going to ballpark it when loading you up. Usually you'll go heavy with the load, because no one ever bitches they got too much material for free.

Fashionable Jorts posted:I still don't understand what the 4 and 7 mean. Other guys want to sell people 7 cubic yards of mulch to get the job done, dude with the ad can do it with 4 cubic yards of mulch. He's probably trying to insinuate that his competitors overcharge by estimating too much product. To figure out how much mulch to cover an area - a 10 yard by 10 yard plot with a layer 3" deep will need 10*10*1/12 (3" is a twelfth of a yard) cubic yards of mulch. Basically people are used to thinking of yardwork in area, not volume.

Well if you have an Olympic swimming pool in your backyard it's gonna take a lot mulch to fill in. But the HOA gets what it wants

They don't really bitch about the kids being the same, my 20 year old nephew was a competitive fortnight player, and my niece came home from college to stay at my Sis's place, but just holed up in her room on facetime or whatever with friends. I'm so happy I missed that gene, or addiction. I'll be 40 this year, and I text like... 2 people, maybe 3 on the regular (more than a couple times a week, one is my mom, one is a coworker, and one is a friend). It's mainly a device I use for an alarm, news, and the occasional game if I'm stuck waiting at a doc's office or something. I do have an iPad that I have on a mounted arm on my desk, that'll I'll idly play trivia games or wordle, or whatever. Or move it to a different mount in my kitchen, if I want to watch something while I cook.

Dude posted a whole thing about how his son, a 20-something year old with autism, has apparently been harassing people in a certain area for years, cops have been involved multiple times, he's stalked people, said insanely hosed up stuff about wanting to have sex with their children, just absolutely mindboggling poo poo while also being physically threatening and sending obscene material to their houses and stuff. The dad is trying to assure the community that he will prevent things like this from happening again, so there's some reasonable back and forth because it sounds like a very difficult situation all around. I just loved this one lady's response though: quote:We are all a mental illness, brain change or disease, or head trauma away from having our personality or cognitive function changed to exhibit behavior most of us would consider inappropriate! And, a really lousy day away from a very temporary one. Witness road rage, "kicking the dog", or giving ourselves or children a "time out." The whole thing is a mess because to me it sounds like autism is barely the tip of the iceberg with the dude and it's hosed up to throw it all under that umbrella, but I just love the insanity of saying that "road rage, dog kicking, and ummmm putting children in timeouts" are the evidence that anyone can do something hosed up on a bad day. e: Ooh nice, and another scorching take about an incident where that dude repeatedly and aggressively asked a mom if he could "medically examine" her three year old child: quote:He did ask permission. He surely must be "disturbed", but that is not a crime. I doubt that the police can just take him off for psychiatric diagnosis. Also, a child old enough to be in the park alone would have been trained to be cautious with strangers, I should think. Martman fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 30, 2022 |

I might have mentioned it elsewhere but the only time I posted to nextdoor was when I saw a massive coyote just walking down the street in broad daylight; in Seattle. Next best one was maybe a year before and here comes a full-grown doe just wandering up the street. I learned later that the neighbors would feed her; hence the coyote.
