Flymo, hedge trimmer, he's not choosy. Got to the point with the hedge trimmer, he had cut the cable so many times, he had to go out and buy new wire. He managed to cut through that too

Re: Time to mow the lawn
I cut my lawn today, and whilst doing the front managed to send a stone smashing through the window of my neighbours truck 
So I maybe $300 lighter soon *sigh*

Re: Time to mow the lawn
I just paid someone to do it - who moaned a couple of times how long we left it between having it mowed, but still charged us at less than the (expensive) going rate. Also, if a stone flips up and breaks a window like in a previous post, their liable and (hopefully) have the insurance for it.

Re: Time to mow the lawn
Wear wellies when you do it too, as flying stones and debris sting like blazes. Also good for preventing tics from attacking if you have long grass. If under trees make sure you either war a hat, or give your hair a thorough combing afterwards in case of spiders and other bits. I forgot once, and sat down on the sofa with a well-earned cup of tea, and OH noticed a spider in my hair, and ants too!!
Cue silly girly flailing.
