Ricky, have you considered adding a couple of sheep to your menagerie? Then you could skip the lawnmowing altogether. Or maybe goats. They'd help deal with the pesky animal control inspectors, as well.  |
That's what my sister is doing on her land. Goats. Here, they are specifically against the law. Stupid "City" of Horseshoe Bay.

Oops, just read Neko's reply - like that idea better  |
Not certain how well that would work in my yard. Lots of trees, some areas of brush I still need to clear, and a very uneven terrain. I would also worry what would happen if an animal (a deer or one of the dogs ... mine or a neighbor's) knocked it over and got injured by the blades or something. That would be a nightmare.
I have looked into a riding brush mower ... but those run about $5,000 to $7,000, and I'm not sure I'm willing to put that sort of money into a mower. That, and I'd actually have to clean out at least some portion of one of the garages in order to store it. I shudder every time I even think about cleaning out one of the garages. I've got three houses worth of furniture stacked up in the one I call the "Carriage House." I recently gave some of it away to one of the Moon's daughters (she was delighted) ... I just can't bring myself to dump the stuff ... some of it is fairly valuable, and some is old family stuff (I mean "old" .... like a couple of hundred years old) ... so I feel kind of obligated to hold on to it. Erk.
