Yesterday, Wifey and me had a few jobs on the agenda. One of which was to rake the front yard. Our lone tree had dropped 80% of it's leaves, and the yard was gettin deep. I had planned about 2 hours to rake them into the street so our tax dollars could make them disappear.
We were busy moving furniture when a couple youngsters with rakes rang the bell. They asked me if they could rake the yard "for a few bucks". I said, "no but thank you for asking. That job is on our list today, we plan to do it in a little while." Then I knuckled both of them and said "Kudos to you guys for your ambition." As they walked away, Wifey said "WHAT??! You better hire those boys!" I instantly knew she was right. I called them back.
How much for the front yard?
10 or 15 dollars.
How about 20?
OK!
lol They did a fine job. I never should have flinched to hire those boys.
