Green-Rite
My fantasy of owning my dream implement has come to an end. I just couldn't justify spending $7000 on an implement even to myself let alone the CFO. I tried. I thought of how I would have thick beautiful lawn, but I live in the woods so not many people would every see it. I even thought I could offset the cost by donating my time to groom the high school football field & the playing fields in the local park, but the county would probably require me to carry special insurance or something like that. One TBNer even offered to build a statue in my likeness if I could convince the CFO to let me buy such a machine, but if anyone has seen the news - statues of madmen just don't last. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
So what actually happened? I rented a Bluebird push-type slit-seeder for $87 including insurance. For those who are unfamiliar, its a mini Green-Rite that looks like a push mower. The lawn has been overseeded & I saved $6912. What's the $1 error? That's for the two Aleve I took when the job was done. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
P.S. Tomorrow, I'm renting a stump grinder so that's at least another $4850 that I'm saving. At least I bought my chipper before this sudden rush of sensibility hit me. Hopefully, I'll get over this real soon. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
