I have been a stalker on here for quite sometime, and found the information and very useful and expert. As a person who spends all day building and developing websites, I find it very difficult to relax in front of the PC.

However, my real passion is my lawns and an old SB 45 17in mower which I inherited from my wife's father. It had been sitting unused for 25 years, a quick service and it has been running beautifully for about 7 years. (I do need some parts advice, but will post in the appropriate forum).

I use the SB on a 4 year old Palmetto lawn and get some pretty good results.

The front verge lawn is a couch/Kikuyu mix which was halve sand and now has complete coverage. It is starting to get the SB treatment.

I am looking forward to hopefully adding some value, if I can.

Hello TLW

A warm welcome from me.

I guess that's quite a healthy contrast of job and home interests.
And that lawn is magnificent! I'm sure when the front verge comes
on board it will be a real home improvement.

Thanks Jack.

The web/seo stuff started as a hobby and ended up my profession (15 years), I think lawn maintenance could be my next and final career change.

We will wait and see.

Cheers

That's a great story in itself TLW.

Web design seems to have changed so much.
It is so much more complicated and sophisticated now!

I mean, I went to a cooking website last week:-
http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/baked-chicken-breast/

The page eventually froze my browser.
I downloaded the page to discover the extensive scripting.

Anyway, we look forward to the calmer side of your life.
Perth, for historical reasons, seems to enjoy manicured lawns.

All the best.

Hi TLW,

Also a big warm, actually it's been rather hot in Adelaide (41.3 Degrees) so a hot welcome from myself.

You'll love the ODK Forums as they are a fantastic resource for lawn mower and lawn maintenance information.

Cheers,
BB.


I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
