Off to mow a rather large lawn
James - 16/6/10 at 09:47 AM

Girlfriend's brother-in-law is a gardner.


He's gone away for a week so he's asked me to mow a customer's lawn....

The house owner and family, 2 dogs, au'pair, cleaner and cook and selection of other workmen are still there.

My brother-in-law is just the gardner!

Rather large isn't it!

Cheers,
James


Edited as people have kindly warned me I shouldn't give an address away. I should point out the gardner is the one on holiday.... not his customer who owns the house!

Now we know he's away for the week and know where he lives, we can all come round with a big van and help ourselves to his stuff. Nice one

I've put the address up on Facebonk and invited 'undereds of idiots......

I think you will find that it's the gardener that is away for the week, not the home owner that employs him.

Going to be crowded in the shed then....

Surely you should also have been Left the RAL(paint) code to get them the right color.

Doesn't look more than an acre, couple of hours on a riding tractor with a 50" cut, that's all it takes me.

surely there is a local farmer that could lend you some sheep for a day? gress gets short and fertilised at the same time

Wow! That was fun- not!

Took 3.5 hours including 10mins for lunch. Ride-on mower... I wish!

Fortunately the grass was pretty short so didn't have to empty the box too often.

Apart from hitting something solid, metal and heavy and somewhat knackering the brand new blade, all went well!


Teach him to ask me for a favour eh!!!

Cheers,
James
