Haha no not a surprise. It'll be a surprise to them when I breakdown the costs associated with rebuilding this one. Admittedly I didn't need to spend the amount I did on paint, but I always figured if you were going to rebuild something, make it look like it's been rebuilt!! And I never do things by halves or quarters!!
It also really wouldn't surprise me if the jnlaws put the hard word on me to swap it back and have their jonsered 16HP and give them back the greenfield. They loved that mower and have been keen as mustard to have a ride on it again!! Haha!
