sounds like you're getting a fountain!! those hibiscus were probably easier to take care of, other then freezing!!
i thought you had a story about doing something stupid, like yelling at your neighbor for his dog crapping in your yard. had that happen to me last week. wife was pretty mad at me for having him come over to clean it up. (yeah, i am a prick.)
You are, I would have made him cut me lawn and then powerwash my house!!!
I am not a pet person, but why do people think it is ok for their dog (or cat) to sh1t on my lawn? Wha??? Seriously dude!!!
Yeah, I'll never figure that out either. When I tell the people doing the dog crap walk past the house that every dog I've ever owned was trained to go in the same spot ONLY at home, they look at me like I'm nuts. I can remembe as a kid, my Boxer would be out roaming the 'hood(no leash law in a farm town), but if she had to drop a load she would run home. Every dog I've owned was trained to go in our yard in one specific spot....usually a far corner for obvious reasons. A couple times a week I'd spread some white stuff on it(can't remember the name) and wash it into the ground with the hose. Really never smelled bad at all. One neighbor I had some 30 yrs. ago had his sprinkler system hooked up to a remote in the house. He also had large sprinklers placed out near the sidewalk and the curb. When he saw someone walking their dog and stopping to let them crap in his yard, he'd hit the remote and they got an instant shower. Here in Orange County, local law says you're supposed to clean up after your dog but not everyone does. I think the remote control on the sprinkler is a great idea, just have to get it past my wife.
