My yard isn't big enough for a rider. My neighbors have them but by the time they mow around everything, I'm done.

I could do mine with a walk behind, but the ground is uneven and after walking it kills my back and feet..

Much more pleasant riding and it gets done faster... LOL

Macy was barking out the window today at a guy putting a sign in my yard stating that I won the Wardcliffe Curb Appeal Award for 2018. Won a $25. gift card for a landscaping co. Big hairy deal.

The stairs to our back porch had solar light caps on the posts, the solar lights lasted two years. I'm putting LED puck lights in them and have to drill the posts to allow the wire to pass.
