This isn't the landscaper

mentioned before. After I talked to the wife and he never called back - We went with a 3rd landscaper - a young man who happens to be in the Fire Department with hubster. (I was determined to get this done NOW!!!) He used to work for someone else and is just starting his own company. They got here yesterday at 7:30 am and left at 6 pm.

btw - the other landscaper (the one I called and spoke to his wife) is working next door to us again - and was all day yesterday. I did call the wife yesterday am and let her know that we had hired someone else - but I guess he figured it out before he went home and heard from her too. . .

The owner of the company had to go to Pennsylvania today to pick up a new piece of equipment but the helper is here today doing the hedge and another company is picking up the debris from yesterday and the dumpster is leaving today too.

Excuse any errors in this -- I just got up a half hour ago and don't have any caffeine in me yet. I don't function well without caffeine....

Ugh, I'm trying to find someone to do some unpleasant yard work for us, and boy is it hard! I'd try to use the same guy you did, but I bet the trek to VA would cost me extra.

Hi Rho, Sorry about the loss of the tree and the landscaper problems. I'm having the same trouble, probably worse, finding a finish carpenter. I kept some friends and their puppy in the aftermonths of Katrina. The puppy was an Irish Wolfhound the size of a shetland pony, and Lucy ate the laundry room, literally ate it. Need repairs to all cabinets and absolutely no one even calls me back for that one.

Thanks for your comment on the new blog. Wouldn't you think our families would celebrate us knitters for our incredible talent? Instead of "What's that? A sock? Why would anyone make a sock?"
