WHERE IN HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?We've been waiting here for you to start spotting us. The crew was getting cranky, so we sent them home. Oh ya, and snap it up please, cuz Lil' Mizz Dymondia here says she's gotta go pee... |
I 'REVISED' everything in your front yard--Like it? No more MOWING! |
REVISED YOUR BACK YARD TOOThe fountain looks cool enough to take a dip in, huh? Just NO diving. Seriously. And no topless sunbathing either. This is not France. |

WHY HIRE ME?Because I can spot plants TELEKINETICALLY. But it only works when no one is looking. Um. So. Can you turn around for a sec? |
