i just hope she gets better soon, this is a stinking hell!

Multiply that times 18 and you have my life most days.

OK .... finished mucking out the fountains and doing the maintenance on the motors. Last load of laundry is in for the day (except for the mats under the litter boxes, and I'll put those in before I go to bed tonight).

Mower is now running, but I really want the battery start to work as well (which it doesn't), so I'm going to order a new battery and fuse tomorrow (and have a little talk with the folks at Toro because most of their freaking site doesn't work!!!), and try to run down a service manual so that I have at least a little guidance as to what the heck I am doing.

You know ... small rant here .... originally the evil developer and realty people here told me that yard work would be part of the amenities. I came from living in a condo, I did NOT want to have to mow a lawn. Then, that turned out to be a lie. So, I gave room and board to someone who was supposed to help around the house - including mowing the lawn - and that person turned out to be lazier than all hell, and then just up and moved out (after hitting me up for $3,000 in advance of wages), so then I had to start mowing the lawn. Then, the mower dies, and I get someone to help me put it in the car, and take it to town, leave it for three weeks, and the people at the shop say "nothing wrong with it, that'll be $25.00". I take it home and it works ONCE and then stops again. So, now I have to learn how to repair the stupid lawn mower because I am not (repeat NOT) taking back into town and leaving it for three more weeks just to be ripped off.

So, I tinkered with the motor today, and it is now starting on one pull, which is good, but the battery is still not charging, and the electrical start is DOA. Oh, and my back hurts. I'm going to go lie down.

I noticed! I checked on New Posts and there were more French than English posts. A bit of adjustment in my User CP is required.

WDE.

LOTS of sympathy. I hate yard work with a passion. Planting flowers is one thing. Mowing is completely different. Mowers hate me, too.
I want a condo/apt. where I never have to deal with it again, however, most around here don't come with a garage or even covered parking, and no garage in winter here is a no go.

Robotic lawn mower?

Artificial grass?

I only have tiny lawns so a robotic mower wouldn't be practical for me, but I'm getting drawn to the artificial grass idea - it'd save a lot of drudgery.
Currently my lawns are more weeds than grass.

Ouch! You also have my sympathies! I hope you had a good refreshing nap, some chocolate, no more back ache and some pleasantly unexpected surprises!

The pictures make them look good, but I can't help but thinking that I'm eating styrofoam.

Maybe they're much improved since the last time I tried one! Here's hoping...!

What am I doing right now?
I'm looking through posts here on MR, while I can barely keep my eyes open!
Must go to bed! Good night!

You still have to vacuum the lawn and wash it from sticky dusts.

(Next door neighbour) "What are you doing?"
(Sparrow) "Shampooing my lawn!"
