OT: Wrong pets?

But your land is 30 times bigger than the UK, yet half the population. So you have 60 times the land each.

There is only one external power point, in the extreme front corner under the 6' eve that runs along the entire

150' of the N side of the house.

Not when the bulk of our population is in the band from BrizVegas down the coast to Melburg and across to Adelaide.

You don't water it? Oh, I forgot. You live in a place where it rains all the time.

Surely you could spare Jimmy a few acres on the Nullarbor.

I water some thing in dry spells, but I wouldn't call that "care". It's no more of a speciality than cutting it.

If you draw a diagram I'll help you with a mowing pattern.

They've noticed that there are f*ck all decent jobs outside that.

Something you have never managed.

Become a cattle farmer.

No you wont because I'm not stupid enough to use an electric mower and it wouldn't work anyway with knee high kikuyu.

Only one there. There are others on the other sides of the house.

Pity about the capital you need to do that. And its much harder work that an office job.

Poor planning.

Then don't leave it so long, or use the right tool for the job, a strimmer. I've got a large strimmer (1kW) which I retro-fitted with a 10 inch diamond tipped wood cutting blade from a bench saw. It'll slice through anything, including dense shrubbery and even tree branches. I used it the other day to take several feet off the top of my neighbour's tree, much to his worry as I aimed the thing up in the air while perched precariously on top of a ladder. Took me half an hour to do what he thought was a day's work.

But land is cheaper there.

Not mentally.

Nope, I knew that I wasn't going to be stupid enough to use an electric mower. One per side of the house is all I need for the electric chainsaw and what you lot call a strimmer and for the leaf blower that I might in theory use to blow out the gutters.

No way am I stupid enough to waste my time mowing the grass more often than absolutely necessary. In fact that area hasn't been mown in decades, quite literally, ever since the kikuyu invaded it from the neighbours.

A proper mower does it much more quickly.

Diamond tipped is a pointless waste of money for that.

Irrelevant to what works best with kikuyu. A petrol mower.
