Summer 2009, in CT. Not sure why I can't crop the photo. Scanning issues, I suspect.

Gang Reel Mower Question
Q
Comments (1)
If you have a fairway style yard that you plan to mow when it's only 1/2 inch or so higher than the rest then yes that will work assuming it is weed free. The reels require maintenance and are impossible to sharpen correctly without taking them to a golf course shop or someone with a reel grinder. Expect to spend $300 or more to have it sharpened. Get a wide ZTR to mow your yard with.

Well, I'm still not sure exactly what's going on, but here's the newest. Per my builder, the price from Carpet Express is pretty comparable to what the flooring store buys the carpet for. The flooring store is now in a fight with Mohawk as to why the price over the internet could be so low. He is willing to find a local installer for me who he estimates will charge about $3300 to install, making the total price ~$8000. He is trying to get the flooring store to give it to me for $9200 installed, as he thinks that is a fair price. Of course, he recommends the latter. The other option is Lowes which would be about $8000 as well. He says their installers are crap. Then he gave me a long lecture about how "in the quality of house you're building, that much money to ensure a better product blah blah blah warrantee etc. etc., carpet is only as good as the installation blah blah" I do feel like he thinks I can just toss money around since we are building a nice house, and we have agreed to some expensive upgrades lately (finishing the basement).

Be prepared to be totally dismissed by the parents. This kid didn't get that way because his parents are such strict disciplinarians. We had a kid in our subdivision that was a living nightmare. His parents were professional people that both worked while he ran amok. He blew up mailboxes...did wheelies in the street on their riding lawn mower, broke into homes, cars, stole children's bikes just for the sake of being mean. All his father would say is that "Boys will be boys". Whoever complained against his evil spawn was the villain in his eyes - not his precious fledgling Satan. You can't imagine our joy when the father's job required that they transfer out of state. You never saw a subdivision band together so tightly to help these people move. Our problem was lack of proof. Just because we saw it ...was not enough to get him to face legal consequances. They wanted solid proof. To many of these cops - this may have seemed like petty complaints - but it surely made our lives miserable while it was happening.

How nice. I'll bet you wish you were back at the beach in shorts!

I agree with Dcarch, I like black & white photos. So, can you undo it??? yeah, I know you can't.

I am sorry apparently this is not a good idea. I have done it for many people before to enhance their pictures. Now I know that you should'nt do it without being asked.

I took it away from Photobucket, but it is still here.

As I said in the other thread where this came up, I had no problem with dcarch adding color to my photo. It was fun to see, especially given the fact that the waters of the Long Island Sound are more of a green/gray--never blue!
Please don't give it another thought.

Thank you for understanding.

Not making an excuse here. Just a lesson for everyone (and myself )to learn.
When I have fun in a situation like this, I always make sure that I never touch the faces, and the body shapes. That could be very "touchy" to many people.

But as I was told in another thread, "it does not matter what your intention is, other people's feeling still can be hurt"

So, Again, I am sorry to anyone who feels this is not appropriate. I was overcome with the beauty of that happy family, at the end of the day, with a nice dusk sky behind them.

Merry Christmas (And Happy Holidays to all the other friends).

I agree, you have a beautiful family, Jo.

I also like the black and white, which is good, I can't see any of the others, LOL.
