How much should i charge if i mowed a persons lawn twice because the grass was too big and i raked up leaves and i cut out weeds and stuff. bout 4 hours 30 min work?

Well it depends on somethings. For example did you work on it alone or did you get help. The normal price is around $25-30 per hour. If you had 2 people working (that including yourself) it should be $25-30 per hour per person. How if you say you worked 4 hours 30 minutes, then you should charge about $112. If you worked with another person I say about $225. I have been cleaning and mowing yards for about 3 years now and I would charge much more than that. That's just me although, but i think somewhere around $100-115 would be fair. This does ofcourse include mowing, raking leaves, and cutting out weeds. General stuff.

Is it safe to lay a washing machine on its side or back during a move?

Hi,

found this link which may answer your question - it seems to indicate that it's best to move it on its back. http://moversbrooklyn.com/?p=19

In fact, here's the whole article so you don't have to look it up

First of all, disassemble it, meaning unplug it from electricity and disconnect the hoses.

It's best to disconnect the hoses actually a day or so before you move the washing machine - this way they can dry. Then you should put them in a plastic bag, close it by putting a knot inside or use a zip-lock back, and put it inside the drum so it can't get lost.

Next step is to actually take out as much water as possible from the washing machine before actually transporting it. There is always some water left in a washing machine that will usually start dropping out once you lift it up and carry it around a bit. It's just water, but it's a bit of an annoyance to the people carrying it and can cause a puddle in your car - the same care where you put your cardboard boxes. Can you imagine what happens when one of your cardboardboxes gets wet on the bottom and stays in a car for a couple of hours? Then you lift it up and… right - it will just break and all the stuff that was in the moving box will fall on the ground and might break. If you have an AEG washing machine you're pretty lucky, because they usually have an easy mechanism that allows you to drain out all the water. But otherwise, you'll have to lean the washing machine forward (to where the door is) and try to get out all the water this way.

The next thing is that you have to find a way to fixate the washing machines drum. You don't want it to spin around. When a washing machine comes out of the factory it has what are called "transit bolts" - but most likely you don't have those anymore.

So how to fixate the drum of your washing machine? Just use a rope and put it through the holes and tie it that way. Or stick a towel between the drum and the sides of the machine.

Somtimes nothing will happen when you transport a washing machine without a fixated drum, and the most often problem is that the suspension spring will have to be readjusted. But it CAN also cause more serious trouble, and quiet frankly I'd rather save the time and hustle that is even involved with such a minor thing as an suspension spring.

Next thing is the actual transporting. Sorry - no magic pill here. It's just pure labour. Get some good, non-slippery gloves so at least your hands won't hurt as bad. If you don't have to carry it down the stairs you can just use a hand truck. But a hand truck usually doesn't make it easier when you have to carry it down (or up) the stairs.

I suggest you put lots of old towels in your car and maybe make use of a tarp. If you don't use a moving truck but instead just your own car and load it in the trunk, then should protect the boot lip of your car by putting a sheet of plywood on it - this will distribute the weight of the washing machine more evenly.

Be sure that when you drive a washing machine around in your own car, don't drive over big bumps fastly, otherwise it might be very strenous on your cars suspension.

A washing machine should optimally always be in upright position. If you for some reason can't do that, then the best way is to put it on it's back. But make sure that there is no leftover water inside in that case, cause otherwise the water might actually cause electrical damage inside the washing machine.

And that's really all you need to know in order to transport your washing machine safely.

Jim

Thanks for the help Jim the only thing i would add is maybe transporting on the front is a bit safer. On the front i some water leaks inside the machine it is less likely to spill onto electrical components that are usually mounted on the back of the machine. If the machine is transported on its front it is also less likely to damage electrical and water connections usually mounted on the back of the machine while loading and unloading.

Why is it no matter what color your bubble bath is the bubbles are always white?

The bubbles will always be white even if the bubble bath is a different color because it is the oxygen in the water that creates the bubbles. When the water foams, it is just like the bubbles on top of a beer that is poured from a tap. The bubbles are mostly air.
