  1. Since the OP was seeking advise on improving the appearance of her new customers lawn I stick by my opinions simply because there based in fact and science. Sand unless fortified with other trace elements like nitrogen, phosphorus or pot ash, will not green up any ones lawn. Liquid Iron will green up ones lawn as long as the product is applied only to the turf ares and no driveways or sidewalks. Knowing the soil ph of any soil is a basic road map as to what the turf is lacking in order to grow more efficiently and naturally choke out undesirable weeds and the like. Cultural praticices like cutting high can only produce more photosynthesise, however the weeds need to be controlled as well in order to have a really nice lawn. Just common sense for the most part. easy-lift guy
  2. Determine the soil ph first before applying any fertilizer. Once you know the soil ph you will be better prepared to know what to use and how much. If you have a reel mower that would be ideal for actually cutting the turf since a rotary blade actually rips tears and shreds turf. Otherwise in either type of machine the blade really needs to be sharp before every mowing. easy-lift guy
  3. The pallet wrap may last, however the more you use the greater the moisture build up will be, or at least it should be due to lack of air flow. easy-lift guy
  4. You will have to in time relearn how to get in and out of your truck and everything else previously mentioned, this will take time and should never be rushed. Pain killers will leave your organs shot in a hurry. Use only as a last resort. Take care. easy-lift guy
  5. Its a tough job being Queen if only for a few minutes. Chair was comfy from what I was told. easy-lift guy
  6. Kevin I look forward to the visit and I except your invitation. easy-lift guy
  7. Steve the show was a 10 out of 10. Average attendance is 110K over the 5 day event. Top marks for the entire event from top to bottom. easy-lift guy
  8. Greetings AT Members: My, how the time has flown (including myself) since my last update! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED:thumbup1: I want to thank the many attendees that stopped by my exhibit space at the MIF&GS for 2016. The response for the ELH was very positive and the everyone understood and appreciated the functionality and practicality of the Easy-Lift Harness. The City of Melbourne and its many inhabitants were very kind and considerate during our stay. Kim and I had a great time. However, next year the trip will be front-loaded with more days before the show to see and do more while in the country. Enjoy the pictures and thanks again for everyone's support! All the best. easy-lift guy
  9. The UK and many other countries choose with the encouragement of it's elected or appointed leaders unfeathered dumping of immigrants into their borders for political reasons. You may think that people can if desperate enough travel over entire mountain ranges in order to enter the US from the South, and I am sure that it has been tried with devastating results, mainly due to no sources of water and the inability to deal with weather conditions. Both can and have killed only the really foolish enough that have attempted this type of border crossing. Governments and legal citizens of the same that choose to ignore this invasion can only survive so long until the monies run out to pay for everything or the tax payers stop partisapating and the system collapses due to really poor choices made by politicians willing to sell them selfs out and their countries for nothing. easy-lift guy
  10. I know you were. Illegal immigrants are continuing to come into both of our countries under the guise of its the right thing to do or humanitarian reasons. In total honesty maintaining the political power base in my country and attempting to recruit more workers to unionize is closer to reality. With an estimated 20 Million illegal aliens allowed to enter the USA under the present regime for the last 7.5 years with the cooperation of the US Justice department and ICE the problems from this invasion will take generations to solve if at all. Similarly within your own country and those really silly members of the EU that have allowed so many from North Africa to take up permanent residence in their lands, Europe will never be the same again:thumbdown: easy-lift guy
  11. Take a look at the southern border of the USA on a map. We actually have these natural barriers called Mountains which really help as a means of keeping people from coming into the country. Forgetting the immigration from Mexico for a minute has been going on in my country since the last deportation by Eisenhower. Please understand that People from Central and South America have been flooding my countries border for decades and other parts of the world. The latter group serve as a serious national security threat since their desire to destroy and kill as much of America and its citizens as possible is primary and sadly in our countries near future. easy-lift guy
  12. Mark, all kidding aside the wall to prevent illegal persons from entering the USA from the South and drying up the drug, human trafficking racket which has plagued my country and its legal citizens for decades would not cost billions and could be done at a fraction of the cost. Actual time estimates to complete a wall which would not actually run the entire length of the southern boarder has been 3 to 5 years With regards to your comment " Mexico would be empty" the actual fact of the matter is that many people from Mexico both legal and illegal have made as many dollars as possible and moved back to Mexico to start new lives and businesses for their families. easy-lift guy
  13. Egg you get it to, you always have. There are many members on this site that are not really wet behind the ears yet, weather it be due to there education level, age, or life experience. There are many topics of discussion on this site, some folks like yourself have a life time of knowledge and experience to pass on. Others will attempt to comment about subject matter based on second and third hand information. That's fine if such information was based in fact, reality. Sadly IMHO it is not. easy-lift guy
  14. No prevention nessary. I get it and call it as I see it. easy-lift guy
  15. Kevin, You really do get it. Most people that have commented about this thread either do not or have no clue, real or otherwise about what is actually happening on the ground here in the states or have never lived and worked here. And before some clueless minion spews about having visited the USA once upon a time or have friends or family that live in the USA put a cork in it. I generally take their opinion with a pinch of rock salt. Really not worth much more than that and I am giving the rock salt the benefit of the doubt. easy-lift guy
  16. The Donald allowed himself to be put into a position of answering a hypothetical question not based in reality much less existing US law. Of course his advisors should have warned him that this could have happen, however when one has a really big ego to fill and considers himself a master negotiator this example of having both handicaps is bound to happen a few more times. easy-lift guy
  17. I read over the link and have concluded that the UK government has taxing its citizens into the poor house down to a science++. I can understand a fuel tax on usage of petrol or diesel, however an additional annual road tax just to add more insult to injury is really bad. easy-lift guy
  18. Stress can and will kill anyone. At 25 I can not remember any having any sort of problems like you have described. If you are presently under doctors care for anxiety you must coordinate your treatment regiment with your primary care physician. All parties must be working off the same sheet of music in order to complete the process. Having no knowledge of your previous work history you must understand that working as a sole trader is very demanding on a good day and on a bad day can really seem like the end ones world. This line of work is really not for everyone, nothing to be ashamed of if you have to find another line of work in order to earn a living. Take care easy-lift guy
  19. I would hirer an independent house inspector and share any and all concerns you may have in advance. Wait until you have his or her report in hand before you make the single largest investment in your life. If the owners or realitor shows any resistance to a house inspector forget the house and find another home to call home. easy-lift guy
  20. I am sure that this cat had enough fresh air and was ready to come down since he perched himself on my shoulders and made the climb down to the waiting hands of his owner. My current cat is only now learning to descend from trees, on his own. Some are better suited physically and mentally than others, humans included. easy-lift guy
  21. Good for you!. Working smarter with your funds is the only way to go!!. easy-lift guy
  22. Cats generally have no problem climbing up or down trees. When a cat is spooked or chased up a tree the time required for the decent may seem like it will take for ever for the homeowner, however the cat will come down on its own, given enough time generally. Once my neighbors cat climbed up a 100' Nor Folk Island Pine. Something spooked the cat and a hurricane was 36 hours away, which I believe scared the cat as well. Of course the higher I climbed the tree the higher the cat went until with about 10' left I lost site of the cat for a second or two only to have the cat jump on my shoulders and tell me with the wind blowing and the tree swaying 6 to 8', I am ready to come down now! That cat sat purched on my shoulders for the climb down and was ready to be received by its human owner on the ground. easy-lift guy
  23. If you were in the states and you tried that I believe you would be receiving a cease and desist order from an attorney or the owner of the copyrighted photos, since those pictures are the copyrighted property of the company. And yes, even though you took the pictures you were employed by your boss and that is his Copyrighted material. Create your own portfolio over time and save your self the mistake of violating copyright laws. easy-lift guy
  24. Kevin, I take your point. Everyone starting and stoping for breaks or lunch while on the job would possibly have prevented the scenario from occurring. Safety should come first always. Safety and common sense is far rarer. easy-lift guy
  25. When I see an accident in the making and can go to a plan b and turn around or just change my route to go around the work area I do. I do understand your point. I also know that by nature most people are selfish and inconsiderate. Generally I do what I can and let common sense do the rest. easy-lift guy
