Let's Get Reel

superbadgirlI did my weekly trip downtown (I try to go down for errands - even if I have to make something up to go do - so that I must walk back up the big 'ol hill) and on the way back, detoured to check out a moving sale. I just had a feeling.
I found a reel mower for $5! It's ancient and it's a heck of a lot of work, but it works. Worked. I, uh, already busted it. LOL. The roller came off. It's rubber and the rubber cracked. I think I can rig it up again, but may have to see if I can find a reasonable replacement part. I got most of my front mowed, so that's something. I need to get the back done, then invest in some soil to fill holes and try to even the grade up. With any luck I'll one day make it a semi-okay lawn. Hah!
I do think I have to up my timeline on a retaining wall along the side - the slope that I'm on is just horrendous to mow for a wuss such as myself. I can't imagine that's going to be easy or cheap.
