    Would he swap fixing the gate for the meadow grass?  Could that work?


    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    I'm sure the cows will appreciate the extra sustenance and the new field to explore! In return they will aerate your field and fertilize it - so win/win!

    Offer him the grass, but let him know the issues - "I wasn't going to offer as the gate/wall/fencing isn't in a good state, but if you need it, then it's yours." He may be able to sort out temporary security.

    As for the scything, I haven't started mine, and the front needs to be done by Sept 25th as I have a tree coming down then. I need to drill a hole for the peening anvil in my bench, and sort out the blade, as I've never peened it myself... and then I can try and remember what to do!
