In town we have a tiny yard so I hired someone to do it, ha. An acre...hmmm.....of course you wouldn't need one as big as the one we have, so a smaller end riding would probably be most practical. If you are going to stay there for a few years, imagine he's 57 now, ten years he'll be 67, probably definitely won't want to be doing it then ha. <br /><br />Warranty is great with John Deere's, it's 3 years actually so that's great. And side, note, I don't have to mow all 10 acres, thank goodness or I'd have a BIG tractor, ha. But do mow about 2 or 3 acres total every weekend (or every other when it's hot and dry). So we opted for the bigger mower, <br /><br />Good luck!!<br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-83671898916998165782013-08-19T20:56:50.416-05:002013-08-19T20:56:50.416-05:00DEFINITELY!

Of course, it does have to stay outside, under a shed and cover but still outside, until we get a barn. But we'll get it fixed. Sigh.<br /><br />I almost bought chrome ones but then I saw these and I knew they were perfect. I like the same color as they kind of disappear. Towels and robes for sure, but no purses or leashes, ha.

The neighbors are waaaaay serious about lawn maintenance, as our we, but we haven't had a yard this big in 10 years. [Yes, I am freaking out a bit, why do you ask? ::giggle::]<br /><br />I know a rider is more expensive, but c'mon. He's 57, and you know I'M not doing it, right? Plus who wants to spend an entire weekend mowing grass?<br /><br />Then again, we have barely an acre and you have 10. So, my point is I feel your pain, especially on a NEW mower. Good to know they come with a warranty [the things you learn blogging!] I hope you get it fixed soon. And the cart is cute. I won't be sending my husband over here because not only will it sway him to get the riding lawn mower, I'll end up with a cart too.<br /><br />No. wait. You'll see him tomorrow. [I win, with your help!] Thanks! ::GRIN::SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-80342864682143469792013-08-18T21:15:52.734-05:002013-08-18T21:15:52.734-05:00It's always something.

Got one of the little green dump carts too. Mine was used but only $200 and my husband did a couple of replacements and I was off and running; but one day when I tried to turn it on I too heard a click click and it wouldn't start. After checking everything out, my hubby thought it needed a new ignition switch. Bought a new one ($33.00) and yup it roared to life. Here is a great site to buy parts for after your warranty runs out. shop.weingartz.comgmvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687166914056106284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-34895637865969615932013-08-18T20:28:03.084-05:002013-08-18T20:28:03.084-05:00Isn't that always the way?

I hate it when something won't run, especially something as new as your Big Green Zen!<br /><br />Love the door hooks that are the same color as your doors. I have over the door hooks on some of mine, but I could only find chrome ones. I'd much rather have white, but they sure are handy. Dog leashes in the laundry room, purse hanger in the bedroom. Bathrooms have the peg hooks attached to the insides of the doors for towels and robes. They are very handy to have!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
