Lawn mowing under the summer sun/Carlos Pueblo
It is
getting very difficult for me to do the lawn mowing under the summer sun in
Austin,
Texas. I have been helping Michelle, our daughter, to do the lawn mowing
work ever
since she purchased the property on Cherrywood, for rental property
change
renter or now her own homestead regular maintenance. She is very busy
at work and
also not suitable for a young lady. It is a volunteer work for both of us
, Amy does
inside cleaning and outside garden, at our later age to make daily life
more
occupied. It is indeed a meaningful life. I also have picked up my own lawn
mowing duty
at home after moving to Village West residence, once a week during
the summer
while Austin chore is mostly once every four weeks.
Her lawn
mower is an electrical power one and seems to be less powerful and
less
continual due to battery capacity. I have to rotate both and a waiting for
recharging several
times. Usually, I have developed a procedure to alternate the
lawn mowing
and weeding in order to charge batteries for both equipment.
Electrical
machine is week yet more reliable while the electrical weed machines
, mostly
replacing the old gasoline power one, are not so dependable. Each time
when it is
broken, I must take the machine back to Houston for service. 1st
time was
a broken
head out of warranty period and I got the repair one for my own use while
she went
ahead to purchase another one. Now, this 2nd one has a battery melt
down
issue and I
learn how to file a claim under the warranty. I try to explain the old
Confucian
thought that in order to make a good job done, you must have a good
set of tool.
Also, you must purchase several kinds of tool, such as power saw and
tree trimer
pool, etc. in case often to send to use.
She bought
the foreclosure property several years ago and gutted it out to replace
it with new venture.
On the outside yard, she hired people to clean the lot, built a
garden shape
on the back with some stone from a supplier of the grave yard. Now,
the stone
are on my way to mow the front and back yard. I have to apply the weed
swinging to
get rid of the weed grown between my chores.
Summer roses
are not at the last for this year. I am leaving for the Europe at the end
of August
for at least one and a half months. I ask her to do just the front lawn and
wait for me
to clean it up on the back for the winter.
