Help! In a dither re: old lawn mowers, searching for new ones!
Comments (5)Hi Nancy, I am just a home owner with a 1/2 acre lawn. It looks like you have quite a large property that requires, and indeed has quite an investment in machinery. One thing that I found useful is this web-site. http://www.lawnserviceforum.com/index.php They have a discussion area "Commercial Equipment Discussions" that various professionals talk about mowers, tractors etc and the pro's and cons. They have quite a bit of history as well, so you can usually get a good feel of what equipment is good for what type of lawn. Hope this help.

Comments (9)Would definitely think of this more in terms of how to make the whole house work better rather than how to get a bigger kitchen. I do like the kitchen in the middle better than the kitchen in the back location since it keeps it central both the LR and DR and allows for more of an open floor plan where you can be in the kitchen but still have eyes on kids in LR. If you use the back doors of the house often, I'd want a landing space for the junk that comes in or even a dedicated mudroom space. Having my kitchen as a main point of entry into the home is a big part of what prompted a huge renovation for us. I would definitely want pantry space, walk-in or reach-in. As drawn landing space for the fridge is lacking, the baking cart is in the way of what I'd see as the natural prep flow. A second sink would probably be very useful for opening up more functional layout options. The fireplace in the kitchen might work well or might look really random....See MoreNeed advice with new living room layout and old furniture
Comments (13)@housegal200 - I agree! I love everything about how this house was staged and would have been totally happy buying all their furniture. I wanted to hire a designer/decorator for at least the living room but I couldn't get my husband on-board with that idea and now I'm terrified about how bad this room might potentially look. Unfortunately getting a smaller TV in here is not an option - he is dead set on keeping this TV and making this the family room. There is another room in between the dining room and kitchen that is being used as a formal sitting room but it's not as nice as this room....See MoreHelp! Struggling with large living room layout
