My wife has threatened me the last couple years of hiring it out and paying someone to mow. But I'm a cheap bastard and refuse to pay for something I can do myself. I just work so much and have so much other stuff to do and love spending time with my children I hate spending the time on a mower. Maybe I should just give in and do it Haha
Hiring a yard elf is the smartest thing we have ever done. Local kid, he weed eats, mows and scoops dog poop on two acres for 40 dollars a visit. 2.5 hours I get back every time he shows up.
