RidgeRacer Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 That's funny. That sticker on your jeep is the first thing I noticed when I pulled up to your house in Crested Butte. That's of course after the shuttle bus driver insisted on taking me to your neighbor's house first. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just cut the lawn service all together? Or are they not working during this time. I know landscapers are still allowed to work to some extent according to PA.

Mixilplix Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I haven't talked to my lawn guy yet so I don't know if he is working....I'll have time t cut it until we go back to work(when ever that may be)....Prolly just hire him for part of the season...and save a couple of bucks.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lawn is small enough to cut with a reel mower and you have to hire someone to do it? How much time does it save you?

Mixilplix Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 It takes me an hour and a half to two hours to cut my lawn(that's just cutting it..no trimming)...If you know anything about reel mowers you know that you can" let the grass get too tall or it just sucks to push it...So when the grass is really growing you have to cut the lawn a couple of times a week....and when I come home from work and it's stinkin hot out the last thing I want to do is cut the lawn...The lawn service saves me a lot of time..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. That's a big lawn to cut with a reel mower. I looked into a modern reel mower a few years ago for cutting my 1/3 acre trying to be environmentally conscious. But they cut the grass to short. I cut mine high to help discourage weeds. People think cutting it short will let them get by with fewer cuts but it doesn't work that way and is bad for the lawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I lived in Bethlehem and had a yard the size of my current driveway I used my grandfather's old reel mower and it had adjustable height settings (high, low). I'm surprised newer ones do not have that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had about 1/10 acre at the old house that I used to cut w/ reel mower and keeping it cut is the ticket. If/When it got too long, forget using the reel mower. The quality of the cut is excellent. The effort to use it, that's another story. Good exercise though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one I have will cut it up to two inches or so.....Another down side is you don't want to cut it when the grass is wet....If you can keep up with regular cuttings you get a great looking lawn... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Anyone ever use something other than bleach, for cleaning this? Bleach would be the obvious choice, but availability is difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I normally have the curtains closed, but the dog like to sit and look out of the window during the day, keeps her occupied while I’m working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
