No wonder they came to help me!

There's a doohickey you can attach to use your drill to spin up the motor, though. I saw it years ago when I didn't need it, and now I need to start looking for it again.<br /><br />Weed-eaters really are a lot easier to run.

As does the guy in my neighborhood who never starts mowing until after dark.

I figure if my brother could do it when he was nine, then I should be able to get the hang of it.<br /><br />It's a little too much for a push mower and not enough for a riding mower. And I'm super picky about lawns, which is kind of funny since I'm apparently hopeless at them. But I like them cut just so...<br /><br />Worse... I'm going to put down pavers and have a curved border around the grassy area. Making the entire process even more complicated. But I love gardens and gardening, always have. Its a surmountable problem, I'm sure.AM Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850171221719212612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292268190612225124.post-35695946372915360482012-09-10T16:40:09.706-07:002012-09-10T16:40:09.706-07:00I'd be out there slogging along with one of th...I'd be out there slogging along with one of those old-school, non-powered push mowers because I've gotten freaked by spinning blades in my dotage. But since I was the mowing person when we were growing up, it is TOTALLY out of my system and I appreciate my condo. (Of course, we lived on a farm and the lawn was an acre or two, so I just had to turn the key on a riding mower - much easier than what you're trying to do, I suspect.)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.com
