The folks who we bought our Georgia home from had kindly mowed the lawn for me before they moved, but it only lasted for so long. I don't even think we had time to blink. The next time we looked, the lawn was up to our knees! In all honesty, we are all pretty short, so it became a must solve situation.
It also became the hot topic of conversation. Everywhere. Mark even mentioned it at work one day, and one of his drivers shared that his Dad rebuilt old mowers and sold them.
For $25.00!
Bingo!
I figured, how bad could it be?
Pretty bad.
Say hello to the 'Hillbilly Lawnmower'.
Don't worry. The little Miss was just posing with this amazing piece of machinery. Her Mommy did all the work, and I am absolutely serious when I say that.
Power driven by mismatched, uneven wheels, this beauty drove like a ton of bricks. She even came equipped for mulching those blades of grass cut by an extra dull blade.
If you look closely, you will see the removable mulching accessory. Some of us like to call it-duct tape!
Look at the surprise on our lovely model's face. She just couldn't believe our good fortune in finding such a gem!
Let's just say that the 'Hillbilly Lawnmower' didn't last long at our house. Although she will remain close to our hearts and the subject of a really great story, she wasn't very good at her job. I think 3 acres was just too much for this old gal. Hopefully she found a home with someone on a nice, petite plot of land.
Oh, and I sure do hope they have a roll of duct tape on hand!
