Modern push mowers are easy and inexpensive to operate. What's harder is finding compact fluorescent bulbs for a ceiling fan.
In the last blog entry I talked about ordering a Brill Razorcut 38 reel lawnmower. After much anticipation it arrived in the mail. Actually, by DHL. To their credit, they delivered it by the promised time even after seending it to the wrong hub city first.
The Mower Assembly was Reel Easy
It only took about five minutes to put the whole thing together. Weighing in at only 17 pounds it was a breeze to carry outside to try out. Easy to use too. I'm sure I looked just like Beaver Cleaver - he used to use one of these type of push lawnmowers.
The key, as I found out, was to walk at a steady pace. Nevertheless, just as I had read in a review on this model, those cute red hubcaps wouldn't stay on. Into the trash they went. Ironic; here I was doing my green lawn care while sending two plastic hubcaps to the landfill.
Just kidding - I recycled them!
On to Looking for CFL's for the Ceiling Fans
Almost all the light's in my house have been the lucky recipients of compact fluorescent bulbs. All, save the ones in the fans. I first shopped in Home Depo for CFL ceiling fan bulbs. I thought I had the correct ones, but the size of the base was wrong.
Why can't the fan industry standardize this kind of stuff? Anyhow, they were kind enough to refund my money, so the search continues.
