Default Robot Lawn Mower





I've decided that I'm going to buy a Automower.

Not only that, I'm going to put my ugly mug on Youtube and keep a video diary of it's progress.

Here's the 1st video: https://youtu.be/JbO7oNihKo4

If you or any one you know are interested in these, then it may be worth watching.

I'd appreciate it if you guys would Like. Share. Subscribe.

Cheers.

Jay

I can't believe it's going to be that interesting...

...it'd be like watching the grass grow!



Sorry bloke, couldn't resist.



Don't do FartBook I'm afraid.

It was worth it!

It's a YouTube thing, not FartBook.

Aye. I've watched the vid like and I've sorted some of your problems like
Concrete or tarmac and painted.




As you can see, I've left the tree so you can hang spanners on it

Me and my mate in the office have just howled at this

Thanks Ian I needed that after the week I've had

I do have to agree, that space is wasted on a lawn, build yourself a unit and lets start making some proper money doing some Twisted Automotive style Nissan Development

I think 2 men of our calibre could easily see us doing to Terrano's and Patrols what Twisted are doing to Defenders

By the way, what does time lapse mean?

Thumbs up No grow lawn.

Due to our Chihuahuas turning our small garden into a winter mud bath we initially slabbed and paved the rear garden. Now we have put down some artificial grass that we bought from Morrison's and so far so good. I just give it a quick hoovering with our George Cleaner and hose off any mishaps.

Ha ha. No problem. I even 'liked' the vid

That is a lot of green grass though. What's your story. Loads of kids with no toys, dogs with no feet, you've made your fortune designing and building a new 'hammer' for the Olympic games (obviously you have someone to catch it)???
