My home inspector reminded me of this tip: if you need to buy tools, look first at your local pawn shop. Most pawn shops are packed to the gills with tools (and musical equipment), and some of it is in good working order.
Now, you know already that practically all of the tools at a pawn shop are stolen—but if you buy the ones that comes in their original cases, you know that they haven't spent too long outside collecting grit or being rained on.
Funny you should bring this up. I was mowing my lawn today and was wonderig how big yours was, and if you had planned on getting a riding mower, push mower, or hiring a service to take care of it?
$100k house w/lawn in detroit FTW!
$100k house is going to be a mansion up there. I would definatly go with the $100k neighborhood.
Mine is enormous.
We got a free 6.75hp push mower (with power drive) with the house, since the old owners divorced and neither have real homes anymore.
We're on about 1/5th of an acre, so there's definitely a need for a bona-fide lawnmower (no weed whackers here) but it's certainly not big enough to demand a ride-on. Dammit.
If you owned a whole neighborhood you would deffinatly have a riding mower. Also, because you owned the whole neighborhood, you could hold semi-anual riding mower races!
Oh kickass! How do rich people ever get bored, anyway?
