Thank you Dan! I was thinking something like a troth but not metal or wood. Good to know I can get something plastic, even if it's heavy. Does the planting depth need to be the same for potted bulbs? I'm thinking yes but if it doesn't need to be that'd be nice. Less dirt I have to buy (I should've taken out stock in Home Depot!!) Idea: would a Rubbermaid storage bin (like 50+ gallons) be suitable or would that crack? I'm thinking no because I have a plastic round container that's been outside since 05 I think, maybe earlier, and it's still intact (but not in use, but filled with dirt from and old planting). I think I will do just that and then move the bulbs into place next Fall. Plus I can actually draw up a layout.

The C-10 number is the engine model. It was the first of the C engines that came in three sizes , 1 15/16", 2 1/8", and 2 1/4" inch bore.yours is the smallest one. Lawn Boy was still using the RPM manufacturing style deck(OMC had bought them out). The ID for the mower should be on the back of the deck. Lawn Boy ,in '55 had introduced the staggered wheel deck style that stayed in the line, on the 18" utility mowers until the late '60's. I'm guessing that your mower is a rope start model, much like some of the models in ths VERY old post. There should be a number plate on the back of the deck. Maybe it's 8F20??.

Ripping out my lawn was the best thing I ever did. No more of this craziness spending time fertility, mowing and reseeding. Who would want your kids playing in grass that has so many chemicals in it anyways. You don't have to put the typical desert stuff to replace the lawn. You can put in nice shrubs, ground cover, trees , veggies. Get creative AZ.

This refrigerator was probably made in the 1930s, but many were still around in the 1940s. During the War Years from 1941 to 1945, large appliances were not manufactured, Every appliance manufacturer was making war equipment and materials. So there was no opportunity to replace a 1930s refrigerator with something newer. After the war, both housing and appliance sales exploded and the familiar round-top box-refrigerator became the standard (such as this Nash-Kelvinator model.) It's true that they were not very efficient, and the freezer compartments were often a joke. They are not really suitable for a modern kitchen. Even a retro kitchen. But, there are companies that manufacture modern appliances in retro styles. For more on Post-War kitchens and the appliances therein, see The Post-War Retro Mid-Century Kitchen
