Morgan, That house is amaaaaaaaaaaaazing! I would never move out of home!

[Morgan]

Haha funnily enough, The left wing of that house has 2 sections, bottom floor is a 4 car garage and upstairs is a flat. It is separated from the rest of the house and Katie and I will live there until we have saved up enough to buy a house

[Morgan]

Right you are sir! Even though i am pretty keen to move out (esp when im married) i dont mind waiting for that first electricity/water/gas/phone bill

Haha i should get my dad in on this thread..

Back in the day he inherited his fathers lawn mowing and tree lopping business

Needless to say our lawns were awesome, i think some of his lawn obsession wore off on me cause i too find myself perfecting the lawn

one of my brothers is a truck mechanic for a big lawn mowing equipment place over in perth.
when i was staying over there he ripped up his whole lawn and started over... i never learnt more about grass lol.

Ripped up the old, used the aerator on the whole yard then levelled it, ended up planting a nice soft Durban throughout. every day he would get home from work and sit in the back yard with the hose drinking a beer ( love perth for its underground water supply )

Myself i don't have a lawn mower or a snipper but i borrow the in-laws Masport and Bosch snipper. started off abused and barely working.. they dont respect their stuff at all after cleaning the rust and replacing the rounded stumps that were the original blades from 15 years ago it does a decent job on my lawn now.

this is my lawn... only photos i can find at short notice, was a hot summer last year and the lawn suffered also notice my sons lawnmower down the back under the trees... he is in training

weve got an acre, mainly grass and a new MTD Vtwin Rideon. about 27hp i think. and an OLD victa rideon, which will get turbod if i get bored. i changed the gearing last winter and it does reasonable drifts with the wet grass and a locked diff farkes the grass now though!

Thought I mite add to the collection

Only the front yard though. Our backyard consist of a in-gound pool and concrete stencil. No grass at all.













We moved in about years ago and it looked nothing like this. Use to have shitty 3 log high walls at the front with a sweeping path that was collapsing.

The old man n I done the whole stone wall ourselves, raised the grass level n done the all the gardening. The only thing not done by us was the path.

I'll try n find pictures of the old garden.

Hi, That's an awesome looking yard mate, congratulations, really impressive. Cheers, Nik

Some people frustrate me when it comes to mowing... I mean, it's not the most complicated thing in the world. Take my next door neighbour for example, yard pretty much same as mine, dude (bout 40) has a self propelled honda mower, so far this week he's mowed for 1 1/2 hrs sunday, 1 hr yest, he been mowing for bout 1/2 hour today and still isn't half way through... it takes him so long that he never actually gets the whole thing done (serious) sometimes I feel sorry for him and think bout offering to do it for him.... then I come to my senses and have another beer instead!

[Jimbo]

you call those lawns? Check out the epic lawn i have to mow every week. Noobs



and heres my manly BBQ and what i was doing today

[skillionaire]

Hi Jimbo,

Maybe just a hose down even?

Alright guys, I think I'm going to go the upgrade on the ride on. Need some advice if anyone has any.

I'm looking at moving to a zero turn tractor style, either a Simplicity Champion, or a Bushranger Encore, as seen here;



Can't really stretch to JDeere money... but I want something tough as nails.

Cheers,
Nik
