    Just kidding. I actually like that kind of dirty jobs. I like fiddling with all kind of machines, and a lawn mower, a toaster or a hoover is no different.



    Ahem It's got wires, therefore it's technology.I don't know whether it's worth the effort sharpening the blade or just buying a new one. Thing is, I don't have the tools to sharpen it so I either spend money getting the tools or spend money getting the blade. If its the latter, the same problem will occur further down the line unless I buy a new blade then buy the tools to keep the new one in good shape.

    Ever since getting addicted to American Restoration, I want to take everything apart and do it myself
  2. New or used lawn mowers are pretty cheap anyway

    Hardware store I used to work at used to sharpen lawn mower blades for like 4 dollars
  4. Hmm..you'd be hard pressed to find an independent hardware store that would offer that service around here. There's one local to my parents that I did work experience at (don't ask) but I don't think they sharpened lawn mower blades. Suppose I could always ask. It seems a simple task, I would just need to find a file. Not sure how time consuming it'd be though.

    Sergio, found a new blade for £13. A new mower, with a collection system would be kicking around the £50+.

    I think I'll head up to that hardware store see if they'll do it.

    2. Grass is too long.
    3. Realise you're too lazy to deal with it.

    Any alternatives for those who don't want a cow and don't really drink much milk?

  8. A sheep. Use the wool for some new threads.

  9. How do you feel about being horned to death?

    A Rhino may be an option for you.
  10. I had't laughed this hard at this topic since Gerard ditched a phone the same day he bought it. Keep it coming guys, my day has been absolute shit and I'll gladly use some more laughs. Thanks
