At 7 am? GTFO
My style is more just not mowing at all….
Yeah, he's very ambitious with the yard work. Sometimes has the while family out there with him. This is in contrast to most of the neighborhood, who hire help to do the work for them. Good for him, but the 7am was a bit much.
I'm not Mr. Perfect yard (I think we have more weeds than grass, as both front and back is sun-challenged...but I do what I can.)
A couple of weekends ago we hard a hard rain and it caused a leak in my wife's office ceiling. I had our roofing people out yesterday. They insisted that the problem is not with the shingles but with the (possibly nonfunctioning) ancient solar panels...so they gave us an expensive caulk job. It's possible it might be time to take down the solar panels, but that will involve some time and thinking (who takes them down? The roof people? An HVAC company? I don't even know what the solar panel company was.)
Of course, I went into the attic several times to investigate, and now in addition to a small leak we have a large hole, as I accidentally stepped through the ceiling. So after we're sure the roof if fixed, I'll have to call someone to do a drywall job on the office ceiling.
I think it would be fun to race lawnmowers. We used to have a go-kart when I was a kid. My dad made a track so we could race it, but we only had one go-kart. So those not on the go-kart would race their bmx bike. My kid does nothing like that. Hell, she doesn't do any chores around the house. Maybe if I got her a riding lawnmower and sold it as a fun thing that people who went to an elite college do, she would take to lawnmowing. I think the key would be paying her enough. But my wife already buys her everything she asks for, so there's little incentive to do any chores.
