Yeah? You forgot like a.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
No, I just you know how how it goes.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I've definitely complained a little bit about this before, but
you know, the city life's looking better and better to
me lately. Why I was happy to get out of
it and go out to the burbs and live out
there in Marshfield.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
But it's always something to Marshfield, It's always something.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
And I think people will probably like, oh, you know,
if you're a homeowner, you know this.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But I'm I've never been a homeowner. Okay, this is
my first time.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So I'm thirty eight years old, and I will full
on admit I was a renter, I you know, rented
from my husband and I now am living the life
of being a homeowner and it's not easy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's always something.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Right now, the shower is leaking for no no reason.
That shower is brand new. But it's like it's just
little things that add up, you know. And I think
one thing I've had to really come to terms with
is in Marshfield, people care about how the outside of
your home looks.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I mean in nice towns, yes, like absolutely, yeah, yeah, which.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
I wasn't like we always obviously up kept the front
of our home.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Yeah, don't care, or and it's not like this, or
if you go to like not nice towns, it's not.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
As important exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Disheveled porches are like yeah, fine.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
So we have our we have a guy, and I've also,
you know, I put so much effort into what the
inside of the house looks like, and it's like, ash,
you might. I've really had this talk with myself, like, hey,
people are seeing the outside ninety percent more than they're
seeing the in, so we have to start putting like
some loved into the outside, not that I have. And
(02:04):
it's like gross out there, but you know, yeah, it's
time for the spring cleanup, is what I'm getting to.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So we have our first guy come over.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yesterday to kind of like survey the land and do
like a loop around our house and decide what we
need for spring cleanup. And the first thing he says
is like, well, yeah, you absolutely need spring cleanup.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He's like, but you also need maintenance. You know.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Like every couple of weeks, I'm looking at this man
like what are you like, I am so I am
a fish out of where. I'm so out of my elements.
He's like, you know you're gonna need maintenance, he goes,
but I it's like it's the middle of April. He's like,
I can't add you as a client, so you're way
late on this. I looked at the fire man, I
was like, what, so he said, you know, we might
(02:45):
be able to squeeze you in for spring cleanup, but
we're not gonna be able to be like your maintenance
people because we have way too many clients. Like you're
doing this very late or you're getting on the list
of people very late. Come to find out, which I
didn't know. The spring cleanup is is big money.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, because you you were throwing out some prices last
week that you were guessing and I felt like it
was a little low.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Guys. I'm I'm talking like three to five thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Three thousand to five thousand dollars for a spring cleanup.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Now, mind you, we made it like it's bad out there.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
We have a lot of but yeah, yeah, and it's
I wish it was a scenario in which we could
get out there.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And I was going to don't want to take you.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He does he like he loves mowing the lawn. But
it's tough right now with the kids. But it's more
than just when I don't know how to explain it.
Guys like we have these.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
We have brick walls with like huge beds of mulch
and like bushes that are actual plants that this man
was saying, like the cornucopia condas are over here, Bitch,
what it's we're it's it's beyond us, okay. And and
our whole thing is like, well, if we do the
spring clean up, the two of us can like maintain.
(04:04):
And he looked at me last night He's like, honey,
I really don't know if we can.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I don't know. If this is he goes, I'll go
out there and mow the lawn, but he's risking.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Us like feed the grass.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Oh, we have irrigation, we have it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That's why I have to do the maintenance. Because I
can't do this.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
You got to get a couple of opinions.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
No, okay, so hey, And that's so that's another thing
I'm learning. So we had one guy come over yesterday. Fine,
so then I I you know, when he said he
couldn't do the maintenance, the Fireman's like, we messed up,
Like what are we gonna do? I said, I'm gonna
post on Instagram and see if there's anybody taking on clients,
because that's what we have to find out. I have
five people lined up now, so I'm not I don't
like doing this like usually I'm lazy and I'll have
(04:49):
one person come out and they'll be like, yeah, I
can do it for ABCDED.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'm like done because I.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Just this is way too much money that I'm like,
we're gonna I'm doing that for and I'm vetting.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So we have appointments set up.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
We also have to get it going because I don't
want to miss our window of getting on this people's
client list.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
We can't let them gas you.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Please don't let them gas you into thinking that you
have to be like immediately doing it. Trust me, people
have come out to my crib and I'm like, okay, cool,
and I just go to nextdoor dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Let me put you on.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
Go to nextdoor dot com and that's gonna be within
you erea. Once you put in on your info, you
can literally go there and be like I'm looking for
bang Bang Bang, and you'll get mad responses from different people.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
There's a like the feedback that I was getting yesterday
from people was crazy, like just tons and tons of people.
One woman goes, oh, yeah, I know an elderly woman
that lives in Marshfield, and she's like willing to it, Honey,
have you seen the hill that he.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
No and elderly? This is trust me. I am, I am.
My body is able to get out there. It's just
beyond me. Like, I don't know what to do with
the hydrangers.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
When he started saying, oh, yeah, we're going to take
the tops off the hydrange is, I go, what is
the maintenance on these things? Like?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Am I going to kill these?
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
We have hydrangers all on the house. I don't even
know what hydramed it is.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So anyways, let me give you another advice. Mulch.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I heard mulch costs a pretty penny.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
It does.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
But the problem with mulch is that you got to
do it every year because it kind of it withers
away and it just colors and it doesn't look good.
So even me, I'm in the same predicament where I'm like,
you know what I think I'm gonna do? Rock beds,
because you could get rock beds and they'll stay bound.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
But they're still expensive.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Though they're expensive, but you're paying the upfront cost as
opposed to like the.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Way that crispy mulch looks. Okay, I know which is which.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I like the rock mulch. Every year, you're gonna have
to make it look chrispy.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Crispy, I know.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
And then then one step further, I got people writing me, well,
you know, are you gonna get sprayed? Like you have
to spray the backyard for the ticks whenever and for
the wolf spiders. You have a Google image one of
those don't don't the things of your nightmares, but wolf spiders.
I don't want to live out here anymore. Take me
(06:57):
back to the city where my car is getting robbed
once a month.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I safe there.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Would you rather deal with the spiders of the homeless
people sitting in your car while you're inside sleeping. I
don't know, man, I think it's worth it, but I'm
telling you, yeah, you need to get on top of it.
We actually got into a fight with our with our
landscaper to the point where we had to get rid
of them. Why I don't want to why okay. So
basically it was around the cleanup and he wouldn't give
(07:21):
us a date on when he was coming. So my
wife went and found like another guy. But it's such
a small town that they found out that we used
somebody else, so he got pissed at my wife. My
wife and he went back and forth. It turned into
a huge thing.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I mean, it's you're spending the money, you're not getting
it for fune.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
We think we also spent so much money with this
guy before. So yeah, so then we had to find
some other people, which this other people have been amazing.
They do architecture too, so they built our fire pit
and all in these so some of these guys will
do stuff like that too.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So yeah, I mean, and every every one of these
guys that I've hopped on the phone with have been
like nothing but nice. Somebody else goes ash just walk
around your neighborhood and look for trucks and like, right
their infro now because that's there.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Now, then they're doing Yeah, then then they're doing it.
But listen. It sucks to say, but you can tell
the houses that that do it. And I hate it.
I hate it.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Wolf spiders like I don't another last night he comes in,
he goes a couple of turkeys out there.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I can hear them move. I'm done with the wilderness.
I saw, I see deers when I drive in now
like this isn't.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
From hate the zombies in Southeast I don't know, is.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It wolf spiders? So yeah, anyways, sad Ashley Fell. My
tweet in The Ashley if anybody knows of a landscaper,
because I need one.
