Oso planning to go pro
Finished a paver patio with built in fire pit today. Elected to not mortar or liquid nail the stones for the pit in case any crack from heat. Does anyone have experience with this? Will they shift in a storm or is setting them in unnecessary
My criteria for DIY.... if u even have to think about DIY u need to find urself a better paying job!!!
I guess that's a friendly way to shame people. Maybe it's a midwest faux uppity thing "oh, you mow your own lawn - you must be poor!" I also know my job pays better than most but 1) I was raised in a family where you should know how to fix things yourself - and you're lazy if you can't figure out how to fix your own toilet2) I'm a natural saver and cheap ass3) I generally enjoy it. Manual labor is simple to me, and a chance to clear my mind from programming.
I'm one of only a few that uses a push mower in my neighborhood. Most have a rider or a service. It takes me an hour so I'm good with that. I get a walk and I save money.
This is something I did not consider when I bought the place gotta go get one.
Whatcha looking at?
Depending on the size of your yard, you can look into an electric option. Our yard isn’t that big so can easily cut a few times on a full charge.
Honestly nothing large enough to warrant anything fancy. I've never mowed before so I'm trying to decide between a really old school non electric non gas mower vs a cheap motorized one.
How much yard to cut?
I know for a fact that an new EGO mower with 5AH battery can mow a 1/4 acre lot twice!I've since added the brushless EGO string trimmer and hedge trimmer. I swear the hedge trimmer uses almost no battery. 2.5 AH battery still showed full after about 20 min of trimming.As for blower, I'm not parting with my Stihl dino juice drinker. At idle it blows about as much as an electric. Full throttle is like a hurricane.
Oh my bad. Roughly 33 x 18 in back 33 x 15 in front including the patch the town owns. Some walkway in there and bushes but those are the survey measurements minus my new fire pit and patio
Yeah without any hills, you can get that done quickly with even a old fashioned non motor. My grandfather never had a power motor and his yard was bigger than yours.
Nice thanks. Hoping they come out with a mower version of a roomba vacuum
They have those but they aren't cheap.
Really? Hilarious, I was just joking around
Those have been around for thousands of years. They are called sheep.
