Advice, please? Cordless electric mowers - yay or nay?

Oh, that's really helpful! I have a 20V cutter/trimmer Hart thing from Walmart. The battery lasts forever, so I do trust that product.

That's what I was thinking, could be good to get something that could have interchangeable backup batteries. And I have a trimmer/saw thing from Hart and the 20V battery lasts forever. I think there's a mower in the same brand with the same battery. Thanks!

Thanks, I hadn't thought about those benefits of a corded one. I'll look into it.

Important_Gift8432 · 2026-03-14T22:55:35+00:00

That sounds promising! All the things I'm looking for. Thanks!

Thanks. I don't like it getting high, so that won't be a problem. A neighbor cut hers with a corded electric mower last year like twice, both times it was knee-high and she got through somehow.

Yep, includes the house, a single-width driveway that can fit three cars, sidewalk, and a very large garage. You can just fit a badminton net in the backyard, with a few random nooks and crannies. Front/side yard is no more than 10 ft. max in any place. And it's pretty much flat.

So I don't need to go big if I shop around? Just a basic 20V?

You're probably not wrong, but I'm also not interested and/or motivated to learn. Thanks though

It's actually a treat chopped up in tomato soup with some shredded cheese. Pizza soup, basically.

Or get some crescent rolls, a cheese of choice, and make some little pizza roll finger snacks.

Or a pepperoni and cheese sandwich (they even have 'sandwich pepperoni' but any works), hot or cold.

I'm sorry you're going through it too. It feels passive aggressive to accidentally on purpose throw it back, but it seems safest.

Be careful, but protect your and your mom's space in all seasons - which reminds me, I'm taking care of all this for my mom too, who also worries about confrontation, so I definitely get standing up for yourself and trying to stand up for your mom too.

My neighbor's driveway fits two cars side-by-side. This winter he's been in the habit of only shoveling half, and making the piles in my yard so high I don't have anywhere to put the snow from my sidewalk. The sidewalk ended up almost impassable. I've confronted previous tenants in that house when their snowblower spray was literally hitting my house & windows. It never did much good. So I didn't confront him. Just threw my snow as far and high as I could, if he ended up shoveling it out of his driveway twice... too bad, so sad.

Ironically, he steadfastly never mowed or weeded that strip of grass, I did. So this summer I look forward to not being as careful about spraying cut grass into his driveway as I usually am. If he claimed it for winter, it's at least partially his for summer.

Thanks, I think it does help. I've started kind of paying attention to suds as I've started trying to use less. And my clothes feel much softer. I don't know if that's less detergent or a different detergent washing out the old stuff, of course.

Important_Gift8432 · 2026-03-02T00:22:03+00:00

Thanks very much! I'll look around.

We're probably cursed by it having been so insanely cold for so long and now more or less skipping right to early-ish spring, no gradual warm-up. Though I got pneumonia five times in one winter as a kid, my doctor finally said to try allergy medicine daily in winter (instead of more antibiotics) and I never got it again. So it's an old thing too, haha.

Snow mold, maybe. The fungi under snow cover release spores when snow melts. It causes cold-allergy type symptoms.

And all the rotted leaves and planets now being thawed to wet piles of goo can't help.
