I'm also associated with the equipment rental industry. This is my attempt to learn more about these kinds of projects and rental equipment and to share this knowledge with other do-it-yourselfers...with some humor of course!Rental Girl Redwood Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06747542416596882883noreply@blogger.comBlogger41100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004526801397391691.post-77023239358945509122010-07-16T17:32:00.000-07:002010-07-17T13:49:28.794-07:00

Two usual staples of our summers, guests and decks, haven't been a part of our household yet this year - but we're getting closer! With a nice covering of moss and dirt leftover from our wet spring, we have been totally avoiding our outside areas, but now that the hot weather's finally here someone promised to clean them up. Last weekend the Pressure Washer came home, and after a few hours and a

One of the big stories today was about the flash floods in Oklahoma - and I can't help but think about the other recent disastrous floods in Arkansas and Tennessee. It's a topic that, after the oil spill, has dominated the news for the past month. We're fortunate here in Northern California not to be regularly subjected to flooding (albeit earthquakes and wild fires take their place). As we

Common problem: Cutting back on monthly expenses = laying off your gardenerCommon side effect: Having to take care of the yard yourself...As I begin, I have to note that I'm VERY grateful that my own lawn care is included in my rent, as I'm not really the type that would love to take care of my lawn.
