I am having a fort style swingset installed. The company quoted me about $1100 for them to do the landscape borders, netting and mulch. Isn’t it cheaper to do it myself. Has anyone forgoed professional installation and did it yourself.

Love Dave’s answer! I would only add two points.
-If your kids are old enough, include them in the process, it will be a great learning experience, and knowing a few basics in home and yard refurbishing and maintenance never hurt anyone!
-Give serious consideration to the use of that much rubber product… If this is meant to be absolutely permanent- fine! I really have heard wonderful things about it. But If you plan to stay in this house, are you still going to want a large area of rubber mulch when you are in your 70’s? Or for that matter, do you want to stick the next owner with the daunting task of digging it all up and disposing of it? A lot of the new synthetic materials available are low maintenance and look good, too, but a friend once asked me, "Do you really want to create a landscaping project that will outlive you by hundreds of years, even if only in a landfill? So do some research, just to be sure you aren’t creating a clean-up nightmare for yourselves or the next generation.
Hope you guys really enjoy your play area!

I have a corner house and I want do-it-yourself tips. Thank you.

A Lilac or other bush on the corner to stop people from cutting the corner and killiny your grass and plants on the corner.

Rosemary bushes along the park strip, or under the bedroom windows. Rosemary has blue flowers, gives off a pleasant odor when disturbed, that wafts through the bedroom windows and keeps things smelling fresh, and it is a good seasoning for baking or grilling meat, for use in Mediteranean Style salads.

Just name the title of the movie it’s from!

1. "Baby…why you all wet?"
2. "Having a Boo Radley moment, are we?"
3. "They’re all so beautiful. Why don’t I have three heads?"
4. "In my opinion, all men are islands. And what’s more, now’s the time to be one. This is an island age."
5. "I believe you are blushing, Mr. Big Artiste. I can’t imagine Monsieur Monet blushing." "He does landscapes."
6. "Maybe you can find yourself a nice antique rocking chair to die in."
7. "As your attorney, I advise you to drive at top speed, it’ll be a god damn miracle if we can get there before you turn into a wild animal."
8. "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing."
9. "What did you do to your arm?" "I burned it in English class."
10. "Sweetheart, you can’t buy the necessities of life with cookies."

Everywhere you turn traditional Christian values are under attack. Why is it that these values are attacked for not being "tolerant" when, by the very nature of the attack is itself intolerant?
Its a double standard these days. Its like when Darth Vader said "Join us or die".
That seems to be the attitude among liberal theologians, politicans, media spin doctors & talking heads, college professors, the ACLU, race activist, and a host of others!
If you agree with them then youre doing your part as a contributing citizen but if you try to hold yourself to a higher standard that rejects the very sin nature that liberalism promotes then youre just a bigot and a hypocrite. They go STRAIGHT to the name calling the second you disagree. They say they are the ones who are being tolerant when in fact they are the ones being the bigots and hypocrites. Actions speak louder than words dont you think?
OK just to clarify a few things….
First being liberal is not necessarily political.
Second being Christain doesnt mean youre Republican.
Please keep this in mind if you answer.
This is a philosophical idealism question, not a politcal one.
Sorry if its in the wrong category but it kind of fits

Christian values are not under attack. Christian values can be found anywhere in today’s society from tv shows like 7th Heaven to movies like "Bruce Almighty," "The Truman Show," and even "The Matrix" trilogy. There are many religious Liberals, myself included. What I have a problem with is Christian hypocrisy. If you say you’re a Christian, then ACT like one. Actions DO speak louder than words, so don’t just ask yourself "What would Jesus do," DO what Jesus would have DONE!
Liberalism doesn’t promote sin or intolerance, those are just your biased opinions of something which you know very little. If Christians want to be respected, then they need to respect other religions and their followers and the same goes for those other religions. Give respect to receive respect. It’s that simple.

The game just sucks I mean you do the same thing over and over again. example would be a quest says kill x amount of vilosiprey ok so I did that and than another quest says kill more vilosiprey but 10 more than you did last time. The quest are so boring and repetitive there is no story. The landscapes are just so dull and flat and empty I mean all they are are fields with trees and rocks and maybe a little cave or two. I want the quests to give you differt rewards instead of just money like if you compleat this quest you get a sword or armor or what ever. Also I do not like the whole box thing when you get somthing that was a objective to get on the quest you have to go and put it in the box whats with that I think you should be able to take it to the elder yourself instead of puting it in a box or who ever you have to give that certain thing or item to. I Also think that there should be more towns/villages and you have to go exploring to find that town there should be dungions to.

I agree with Kasiban!
