Is it because you have alot more costs than he does? Seems to me, the guy who is doing it on the cheap is the better business man. Sure you may fit the bill and look like a real lawn care guy, but I know a many of old black fellas that can cut some mean grass. Free market ='s competition....without it, you "pros" could charge whatever you wanted to...

just a thought from a guy who started cutting yards when I would pull my mower with my bike, and throw my weedeater across the handlebars...at times I had 15-20 yards a week....with a cheap piece of junk push mower...customers said it cut better than the commercial mowers...i've ran them all and tend to agree :wink:

prolly wouldnt hurt if u got back out there and work it a little bit before the burd season comes back u might just be able to see ya weenie again :lol: :lol: :lol:

FYI - I just spent my entire lunch break reading this shat! Good entertainment BTW!

That said, I need all yall LA's, Firemen, Insurence Agents, Real Estate Agents & grass cuttin' mofo's alike to come to my place & give me a quote. Imma gonna need to see a free sample of your work, several references, your green card, insurance card & any other applicable cards you might have.

Then step back & imma gonna show all ya how I can do it myself better, cheaper & faster than any of yall self proclaimed grass cutters! :lol: :lol: :lol:

D@mn some of yall sound bitter..well listen to this, in my line of work a contractor will go overseas doing the exact same job that some of the soldiers do, yet they make $150,000 to $200,000 the better part of that money is tax free, yet the soldiers doing that job are making around $30,000 to $60,000 tax free. Not complaining and i know if i wanted to make more money i could get out of service and contract, just saying its kind of screwed up. Sorry to change the subject. Anyhow I dont cut grass, but if someone gave me one of those fancy o turn mowers I would. :D :D
