ya a lot of mine are drying up too! =( I am ready for a little break, but really don't want to go to 10 days yet. Personally I LOVE the heat, I work harder and get crazier =D But the guys don't much care for the heat. At least it's better than getting rained out every day like this spring. Z-man, you deal with Bradstreet much? what are you running for a mower?

hey everyone i need some help bad... I live in bangor and have been mowin lawns since i was 13 for people. I got a full time job delivering car parts for a local company. i hate it. I got a few good lawns that i still mow. One is Exide Batterys. Ive had them for 4 years now and he is 100% sattisfied with my work. I got a few residential that i do as well. Problem is i want to become a full time landscaping company. I want to travel all over the state and do pretty much anything, obviously not mowing an hour away but you know. anyways i have bad credit and no family support to help me get a trailer and at least a rider. Ive done a lot of work and busted my @$$ with hand rakes shovles push mower etc. does anyone have any advice to help me get going with some mowing jobs and maybe how to find landscaping jobs. thanks
