One of my weekend jobs!!

[enduro]

This is one of my weekend jobs, i maintain a site for the Met office near where i live. I have to cut all the grass every 2 weeks, spray the fence lines twice a year, clean the gutters out twice a year and cut the hedge twice a year. I have been doing this site for several years...It takes me 4hrs to mow all of the grass....Gives me a break from tiling.

do you use a sit on mower or do you get some exercise

 

[peckers]

Theres a mower in the picture not much room to sit on that one. but there is also agreat large area that looks like it would need a sit on mower to do all of that in 4 hrs.

 

[Dave Ramsden]

Thats a brilliant idea. Id love to just do that for a job full time!

Yes i have a ride on mower, i have a John Deere 935 out front rotary with a 6ft cutting deck on the front.

Gives you a variation of work

 

[Andy Allen]

what you need to speed the job up is 1 flask of tea, 1 deck chair, and about 10 sheep, you sit in the deck chair and drink your tea and the sheep do the work for you

sounds great that you can diversify your job and at the pics everything seems green and calm.
