[QUOTE="donna723, post: 533635, member: 1883"] We always had those old manual lawn mowers when I was a kid, I remember my dad and my grandfather using one on our small back yard. But I can't imagine using one in a really big yard or in very thick grass! That would really be a workout! My yard at this house is HUGE - more than half a city block street to street, and the grass is super thick! For the first couple of years I did it all myself with a gas powered push mower, not self-propelled. I was out there even when it was close to 100 degrees and it literally took me the entire weekend to do it all! I could never afford a riding mower and even if I had one, I have no place to store it out of the rain. So I went through a series of cheapy Walmart push mowers that died after one season. And I absolutely could NOT start that weedeater! I'm not getting any younger either and that lawn was taking over my life, so I finally called in a lawn service. It costs me $50 each time they come so I only have it done every other week. But they come in with one guy on one of those huge commercial mowers and two more with weedeaters and they do in a half hour what took me all weekend to do myself! It looks great when they finish so it's well worth the money. And I finally have my weekends back! I have noticed that my waistline has expanded a little more since I'm not out there shoving that lawn mower around all weekend, but I much prefer watching from my living room window while someone else does it!
