16. The damage my landlord pays for twice includes

paying the guy with the string trimmer and then painting, fixing and replacing fence posts, low boards on the garage, etc. I don't get it. There is a weed so destroy the fence posts every week ?! How about bend over and pluck the weed out?

Another great one is the snow removal guy last year destroyed the sidewalks and other concrete by laying down the cheapest rock salt an inch thick about once a week. Killed all the soil next to the walkways too so now when it rains mud flows across the walkways. And guess what they want to do about that? Use the hose (!).

Can you (or the lawn guy) mulch the areas that he is string trimmering?

Leaf blowers are a worthless waste of time but at least they don't cause the damage that string trimmers do.
