The corner philosophy

Ok, I am now on a mission to 'curve' every corner that I can in an effort to make lawn mowing just a little easier.
I've discovered some work techniques that are pretty useful, from other specialties that are surprising.
For example, one should use the sport of boxing when pacing the flow of work on a really hot day. These guys box for 2 or 3 minutes and rest for 2 or 3 minutes. I find it very useful to keep the stamina at a functional level, work 10 and rest 5.


It is better to shop for what you need the day before so you have it all at hand first thing in the morning while the weather is still tolerable. By the time I got this stuff home and unloaded I was ready to call it a day at 8:45AM! (I still have at least 2 more corners to do, so I will definately keep this one in mind going forward.)







Finally, don't forget to take your shoes off BEFORE your go in the house, or you'll have a whole other project to keep you busy!

you know you are probably working harder now then you did when you held down a job, but I'm sure you are more proud of your finish job now then you were on a payroll. It kind of looks like you got Grandma's green thumb....
