Actually managed a day off today, and decided to knock my 1 acre out so I can have a nice 3 day rest. So it got me thinking .........
All other years but this one, yes. I have alot of extra work this summer and I pay a local high school kid to do it.
$20 or spend 2 hours sweating my arse off on a weekend. I'll spend the $20 everytime. Besides it's a proven fact that mowing your yard in Houston during the summer takes a month off your life span.
Used to do it myself until my mower died. I started using a sevices while I got my mower fixed. Never got it fix and ended up donating to it a "worthy cause".
Well I'm not a man, but... I've mowed my family's lawn since I was 13. Never got money for it until I complained that a corner lot like our's would cost like, 30 bucks to get professionally mowed. So finally I got payed 15 for mowing the front and back. Mowing is one of the easiest and funnest things to do, IMO. I miss it
Huh? Mowing your own lawn is good exercise. You will live longer by being in better shape at the end of it.
i have been paying $20 for a guy to come mow/edge my yard. since gas prices have gotten higher, my wife has been writing the check for $25 instead. still a very good deal in my mind. yard work keeps me from my kids when i'm home. i'm willing to pay for that.
dude .....if your kids are at least 3, they can help ...its family fun! you haven't bonded with your son until you say "get of your ass and mow the damn lawn already!"
I hate, hate, HATE cutting the grass. I seriously loathe even the thought of it. I don't mind working in the yard when need be, but I will not cut even the tiny amount of grass that covers my ditch and areas around the periphery of my house. I pay someone to do it because the thought of doing it myself makes me ill.
i'll wait till he's a BIT older for that! for now, i'm thinking the guy i give the $25 to can use it more than me or my son can!!
Yeah I pay a guy to mow my yard, but I don't pay for a lawn mower, a weedeater, a blower or gas or maintenance for them. And I don't have to keep that smelly crap in my neat and spacious garage. The guy that does it does it for a living, he needs the money........and I don't like to sweat My wife does the flower beds too!
