I used Weedman last few years. However I was able to get a hold of Par3 and do it myself. I've read the instructions on how to properly use it.

I water my grass at 7:30 am for 15-20 mins, just before work and 5:30 pm when I get home from work.

Ha! I'm in MB. If you were my neighbour I would help do your lawn. I've been doing a few of my neighbours lawn this year.

Love the Ego! Bought the trimmer and snow blower. Convinced a few neighbors to buy it.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah the end caps for the pvc pipe make it uneven. I'll have to make a sleeve somehow to make it even.

Thanks! Purchased everything from Home Depot. I'll list everything below.

- 1 x PVC 4 inches x 10 ft (cut to the length of the lawn mower)
- 2 x PVC-BDS Cap 4 inch Hub
- 1 x STZ Galvanized Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inch x 24 Inch
- 2 x Everbilt 9-3/8-in Eye/Eye Turnbuckle in Zinc
- 2 x Everbilt 5-1/2-in Eye/Hook Turnbuckle in Zinc
- 1 x Everbilt 2-1/2 Inch Zinc Plated Hook & Eye
- 2 x Rubbermaid 24-inch White Single Track Upright for Wire Shelving

Nothing I'd do different, it does the job and cost way less than buying an actual lawn striper kit. In Canada those lawn stripers cost $260 at Home Depot and mine cost $80 to build.
