@RenRen: I don't think the police will be sending in a forensics team to track down whoever steals your whatnots. But I like your thinking anyway.

@jonny6pak: yeah my main point in replying to you was that I agree overseeding makes such a difference...

@jonny6pak: overseeding, combined with proper mowing, watering, feeding and aeration make chemical weedkillers unnecessary for all but the worst of lawns.

Patio furniture - the best time in my locale is towards the end of fall - before stores start making room for Christmas stuff. Wait until November because after Halloween the prices are marked ridiculously low, so act quick otherwise its slim pickings.

@cheeken: and lots of time reading lifehacker to avoid facing the misery of getting the last 20% of a project finished.
