    Hey taylor, rent a small-mid sized skidsteer for 1-2 , maybe 3 days (depending on how early you start and comfortable operating you get) with a bucket and harley / power rake attachments. Get a landscaping rake. Order topsoil for day 1, use the internet to calculate how much you need or just get a truck load to start. Use the power rake to grade and till the current soil + grass. Then use the bucket to spread topsoil 1-2 inches where you need it. After it's spread re use the harley rake to grade the new top layer. Use the landscaping rake to find tune the grade and clean up small/low high areas. Use the power rake liberally to achieve a good grade. (which you basically already have) Seed spreader, seed it, cover all the seed by hand with shredded hay. Water water water, gl bro

    Dig two pits in some yard corner, make them watertight. Build some fences around them. Throw leafs in one of them. Add some water every now and then. When one is full, start to use the other one. When the other one is full too, empty the first one. Leafs turn in to top soil in no time when they are in big pile and some moisture is added.

    It would've cost less to just buy a bagger kit for that zero turn. Mulch and bag the clippings, and it would've vacuumed the leaves right out of the lawn. Battery mowers don't get enough lift/suction. The mowarator might need leaf blades as well, to help improve it's lift/suction.

    i remeber when we first moved into our current home. The yard had been neglected for years and As hard as I tried to get on top of it the first year, it was just overwhelming. I eventually bit the bullet and hired a landscaping company to clean and clear to get me to the point that I could restore the lawn and finally get to work on redoing some of the scaped areas on my own. Let me tell you it was the best $3200 I ever spent. They cleaned up everything and hauled it all away and left me with a great foundation to work with. I still use them twice a year for spring and fall seeding, treatment and fertilizer which is less than $400/year. Over the years I struck up a friendship with the lead lawn tech that does my yard and he helped a couple years ago put in a cool 106 yard par 3 with a putting green. Decent equipment is key to maintenance and I couldn't be happier. I appreciate the sweat equity you're putting in but for me there were better ways to spend my time when it came to the cleanup process.

    Hey Taylor! You should put up a small fan in the entrance of the container so you get some airflow for when you're in there. Doesn't have to be big to make a huge difference in working temperature in there. Also pro tip, since you said you ofc don't know where all the parts you have actually are, print out lablea on your printer (don't need a label maker) and create a logical system, where you number or alphabetise your toats, for example A1 has air tools, B1 has brake parts, C1 has coilovers etc. I have that system and it changed my life!

    Yes Taylor, there was a time around 30 -40 years ago that all these things were bought in one piece. And I'm only 63 years old! 😉🤣

    25:55 Yes! One of my early jobs in the 80's was as an assembler for a now defunct department store called Service Merchandise. Everything in the store, from lawn equipment, to bicycles, grills, etc was sold fully assembled.

    Looks absolutely incredible! Going to help the seeding process so much. Probably won't even need seeding soil. Would look sick to clear all/most the shrubs and have the whole front yard all grass.

    Sounds like the head gasket is leaking on the mower. Obviously, it's still running good, but that air puffing sound on shut down and start-up is what I'm referring to. Good video, too. I envy you for being able to do different videos like this despite the mysterious RUclips algorithm.

    MY DUDE, instead of throwing out all your yard waste in trash bags, you could start a small 2 to 3 bed compost area in the back corner of your yard. With composting, you're taking all the bio-mass waste from the yard and reinvesting it into your landscaping. We throw a lot of our kitchen scraps and shredded cardboard in there too, the worms and bugs make pretty quick work of it with very minimal effort from us. We then take all that awesome soil from the finished compost and backfill our flower/grow beds... It's a win, win, win! CHEAP, EASY AND GOOD all at the same time with compost...lol

    This is when you buy a couple cases of pop and keep it cold and the next time those guys that pickup that yard waste come by you give them the cases of pop and a thanks. Its a little thing but will make you pickup in the future just a good.

    Leave a cooler by the bags with a couple cold drinks for the trash guys and I’m sure they’ll take it all. Was a trash man for 8 years, it’s much appreciated when it’s 90+ outside, take care of them they’ll take care of you

    Most things bought in the late 60's early 70's were bought completely assembled. I started noticing the chinese steel in nuts and bolts and that was the time most items needed some assembly. Greed by big box stores taking over. The demise of the mom and pops stores who always hired a couple of young men to assemble items. Seeing all this change in my life is amazing. My grandparents were born in the late 1890's. Imagine the change they saw. Life is huge to say the least!

    I honestly surprised how well that little robo mower picks up the leaves. I'm not a fan of it, but very surprised how well it did. I would be using a back pack blower and raking it up in half the time

  • @adman6380
    @adman6380 Месяц назад

    You could make a rack inside the container un the underside of the roof to hold your excess long steel and bus siding, it’s also worth adding a ventilator fan either solar powered or wind powered to the container.

  • @tylerbogaard375

    I don't know if you're allowed to burn in your area, but with the amount of leaves you've picked up, it feels like getting a burn barrel nice and hot would be the way to go to get rid of a lot of that stuff instead of bagging it all.

    It would help your grass in the very weak / dead areas if you also threw down some hay after the seeding. Hay in general helps protect the new grass and keep some moisture in while it gets started

    Yes. You used to be able to buy assembled products! I had a part time job as an assembler. I was putting together bikes, mowers, shelves, tables, lawn accessories, etc. The sole reason it has stopped us cost. They can cut out the assembler job but charge the same amount for that product.
