August 9, 200817 yr I have not seen a real lawn in 12 months..... Unsure exactly what we're talking about here. So, either congratulations or commiserations, as appropriate.
August 9, 200817 yr Ugh. I weed-whacked the back 40 two days ago. I actually started it several weeks before, but house repairs and a trip to MV, not to mention this endless rain kept me from resuming it. I was chopping down weeds nearly as tall as I am. An alarming number of them were wooden at the bottom, which wreaked havok with my weed whacker. I don't use a line head, I have one that has three plastic blade. I went through two sets this year so far. I'm going to have to go back out there with a hand saw and take out a few dozen would-be saplings. There was more than a little poison ivy out there, and even though I showered immediately after I finished, using Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap, I still have a few itchty spots on my arm. Truth is, I'm rather lucky that's all I got. Home ownership is overrated. Land ownership, even more so.
August 9, 200817 yr And thus this week's mowing of the lawn is concluded. That was only what 3hrs or so? meh
August 9, 200817 yr I haven't mowed the lawn since I was a kid. I told my wife that I wouldn't buy a house until I knew that I could pay someone to take care of the lawn. She agreed and 17 years ago we bought a house. Damn Nate, 3 hours. Think of how soldering you could be doing. I bet you could have had a Beta 22 done in that time.
