Best choice by far is my Husqvarna tractor. My first year I used a push mower which took 3 hours to cut 20k lawn. Now it takes 45 min. Also I'm saving from renting the mechanical aerator and dethatchers as now all I have to do is use the attachments and pull it from behind. Instead of pushing my Scott's broadcast spreader on foot I pull a Brinly Spreader. So much easier and less energy

For reference, it costs me $45 to have my lawn mowed/trimmed. If I wasn't using a company that already did 3 other nearby lawns, that'd cost would go up. If I got a mid-ish range riding mower for 2k, it'd pay for itself in less than 2 mowing seasons and I have better control over when/how my lawn is mowed. Double pass core aerating & split seeding the back & sides + single pass aerating in front was something like around $700 after some 'discounts'. I could rent a manual core aerator for a couple hundred bucks a day (but have to transport it). A towed spike aerator is about the same cost to own. Not quite apples/apples, but still. One could split the cost of a rental w/ neighbors but my neighborhood is acre lots so I'd need more neighbors to buy-in to make it worthwhile. It is arguable how often one aerates and really needs to overseed but landscaping isn't necessarily cheap. For reference, my cost #'s are for approx 32k sq ft of yard. Note, too, that I haven't even gotten to fertilizing and weed control. Buying equipment for it all definitely costs more upfront, but if it is used regularly over time it will pay itself off. Plus, not taking care of your lawn can lead to other expenses. Again, how far down the rabbit hole you go also makes a difference, too.

Nice! I was gonna do the same in my garage but missed the sale at Lowe's for these. Those LED strip lights are pretty expensive for what they are.
I will go the lazy way since I have no desire to to tear up the ceiling to run conduit (joists are perpendicular to where I need to run pipe). I'll just run it externally and paint to match the ceiling. I just have a single exposed bulb fixture in each car bay now so it won't be too bad. Might replace the bulb fixtures w/ 4' strips and do a perpendicular 8' strip (a few feet away) for each bay.

Ditched the diesel Jeep...may I never buy a diesel again.
Picked up this for the wife's DD, she said the Grand Cherokee was a little big for her tastes, so we downsized. Doesnt have all the fluff the Jeep had, but it's not bad. RDX A-Spec |
