Similar here. Waste disposal company provided 2 large cans, one for trash and one for recyclables, which their robot arm-equipped truck picks up every Monday. Lawn waste goes into a can that we bought and that truck is driven by one dude who gets out, dumps the can into the back of the truck, or throws the paper lawn bags back there, and drives off.

Oh, and we don't pay a fee for trash pick up. It's part of our property taxes. So there's that.

It's part of our property taxes AND WE STILL HAVE TO PAY AN $11/MO FEE that's included in the water bill because reasons.

Fucking city...

Poverty spec Russian. Just what everybody wants for a neighbor. Maybe throw a couple of plastic Adirondacks out front, put the feet a kiddie pool and split a pint of Popov with the AZN just for effect?

I think I’m making the house nicer than it was .... so, why not millennial lights and fence next, coupled with the gentrification font

You get used to it. In some ways it's easier than a regular car, you are big, you just inch your way into wherever you need to go.

I am of the opinion that plastic Adirondacks are the best outdoor furniture in the world. Prove me wrong.

Depends on your tolerance for increasing waste in the world. We've yet to have a plastic Adirondack chair last longer than a few years. Cheap, sure but they just go to the landfill when they break and that's a lot of plastic that's not going to biodegrade. If you don't care, then they're pretty great.

In4pics of house. Also, at least you didn’t move in and immediately leave a Corvette on jack stands in your carport for three months

Nothing wrong with doing your own yard work. Interestingly a lot of rich people around here seem to really get off on working on their landscaping.

This is the best info I've seen.

It's pretty much how you need to drive those big 26'+ box trucks in NYC. Most people are courteous enough to let you in if you signal but other times I've had to throw my size around to get where I needed to be.

Our warehousing/ERP systems are totally fucked, nothing is shipping seemingly. FedEx is fucked, products aren't delivering. I won't get paid on stuff until/unless it's actually shipped and billed. I have pushed hard and actually have growth over August 2019 in my territory of over 10%, not bad in an industry that's down 30+% due to the 'VID, but I may not get any commission because our company's logistics people are fucking it all up.

I'm going to take a two hour lunch, attend a meeting at three and probably helicopter on out of this bitch.
