Q: Why did people stop using reel mowers?

• <div><p>The American ideal of a large, perfectly-manicured lawn is tied to the post-World War II suburban housing boom. In the decades that followed, technological advances made self-propelled mowers more affordable and plentiful. Many Americans came to see reel mowers as old-fashioned, inconvenient, and time-consuming, and they eventually fell out of fashion. </p></div>

Q: Why will the lawn mower string not pull?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won&rsquo;t pull, including an engine jam, a tangled cord, a broken recoil starter, or poor maintenance. To troubleshoot, turn the mower off. Then, inspect the cord, look for any tangles, and gently pull it to identify where the resistance starts. If you&rsquo;re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>

Q: How long do reel mowers last?

• <div><p>If you keep it clean and sharp, your reel mower should last for about 10-20 years. In comparison, the lifespan of most self-propelled lawn mowers is about half as long as that.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to replace or repair a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Whether to repair or replace your lawn mower depends on what is wrong with it and how long you have owned it. If your lawn mower is relatively new, ensuring you regularly service it will help keep it in good shape. There are issues that will cost hundreds of dollars to repair, such as the engine blowing or the lawn mower going over rocks. Many people go by the three-year rule and replace their lawn mower rather than do repairs after this time.</p></div>

Q: Can you repurpose motor oil?

• <div><p>The best and safest way to deal with used motor oil is to bring it to an approved facility to be recycled and refined into new material. You may see recommendations to use old oil as an equipment lubricant or wood stain, but using it in these ways can be dangerous, messy, and environmentally irresponsible.</p></div>

Had a hole in my plaster dinning room wall due to a plumbing repair. Tim from Hughes Plastering came quickly and repaired my wall and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely use him again and recommend him to family and friends.

Did an excellent job. They found a leak behind the old bathtub that they repaired. That leak would have cost a lot more if I had to bring another plumber in to repair as it was behind the walls.
