Nothing to do with stained glass but…

Written By Kim Joy

For years I have been struggling to start my lawnmower, rotator damage and all. I have been forced to ask friends to stop on their way to work or ask neighbors to help start it. Of course, it always starts on their first pull.

I asked a friend who does small engine repair if he had one that was easy to start. He ended up making me a Franken-Mower! It has a battery ignition and starts on the first turn of the key. I was so excited I had to try it of course- it started right up.

I am now not dreading mowing the lawn, I am ready with Franken-Mower!

Have you ever encountered something like this? You have something that needs to be done but you can’t because you aren’t able to do it?

Thank goodness for good neighbors and good friends.

Welcome Franken-Mower!
