Had a friend and his wife move in with us for a short time as they were moving to our city for a new job. They offered to help with chores and whatnot around the house, and he specifically mentioned he could help with yard work. I told him in no uncertain terms that that was my “me time” and he was to never intrude on that again. He chuckled knowingly.
Yup, I had a friend crash with us for a bit to get back on his feet and I had the exact same convo with him. Nah dawg, you can do the dishes… yards mine.
I get it. We can easily afford someone to come mow our lawn but that’s quiet me time that I need so I’d much rather do it myself.
Quiet? On a motorized lawn mower?
Electric is the future. They also don’t rattle your body like a gas mower does. I’m not sure why this isn’t used more as a selling feature.
My noise cancelling headphones work great and my mower’s electric. It’s not loud at all.
But I’m mostly saying “quiet” to mean being away from other people
