    Right of way, easement

    I'd just call them and ask them to send someone out to walk it with you. I recently had a similar experience ... though they were nice enough to call ahead of the work and post a flyer on my door to make sure I knew they were about to do trimming. When they were done there was some mess and...

    deals when buying new

    Prior to making my recent purchase, I had seen suggestions that 10%-15% off of list was typical. I figured some folks haggle better than others, some dealers pinch the customer a little, some customer pinch the dealer a little. So right in the middle was probably "fair" and I don't like to...

    Ready to Pull The Trigger!

    I've recently moved from Maryland to Washington state. Left my small, green, garden tractor behind in Maryland and decided to treat myself to a slightly larger piece of equipment. So, I got a couple of competitive quotes ... they were largely the same so I figure the deal must be fair...
