Fo-Reel Mower

One of the things that would have been nice in a house that we don't have in this home is a two car garage. It has a one car garage...that is already filled with moving boxes:
It being a garage and all, I would one day like to keep the car in there (especially in the winter) and because of this it is important for us to try and save space. One way to do this is to not buy large pieces of equipment that need storage (snow blowers, tractors, ride-on lawnmowers). Luckily, we don't have a very large yard:
Yup. What you see is pretty much what you get in this photo. There isn't grass in the back and there is only a small strip on the other side of the driveway. This storage issue was really just a platform for me to get Chris to buy into my Hippie agenda - Reel Mowers! Better for the environment, don't really break down, and aren't so scary that I wouldn't cut the grass. Well, it worked. He spent some time researching and got this lil' guy, whom I have named Fiskers (his 'reel' name is Fiskars - ahahah puns!):
I know Chris is cutting the grass in this picture (Action Shot), but I cut it sometimes too....like at least once. It take a bit more effort to cut the grass with a push mower and it doesn't cut really tall grass well (Shout out to Neighbor Bob, who was nice enough to lend us his gas mower for the first time), but is working out for us and as long as the grass keeps growing, we'll keep mowing.
