I wondered if Sherpa had designated that as Sarah's quarters too! 😁 I used to tell my niece, who is the same age, that she had to sleep in the shed, when she stayed over!
As a person with a two acre lawn Im telling Jamie hes going to spend ALOT of time on that Deere. Dont forget to fill your gas cans before the weekend while youre in town. Love your house. 💖
The mower was not a surprise, it being an John Deere was! Glad to see you wearing eye protection and I hope you are also have hearing protection too. Poor Sherpa now thinks that Jamie is one crazy human. Driving that loud thing around the garden makes no sense to Sherpa at all. Wishing you and Sherpa all the best in your new home.
It's awesome that the mower came with the property cause they are very expensive and have almost doubled in price this year. You go boy. Have a great day ❤😊☀️
You probably already know, but let your mower cool off for while before you pull up close to wooden floors and walls. Lot of heat builds up in very little time in front of mower and base. Or at least leave shed open for bit. So happy for you and Sherp
Boyz and their toys eh ! 🤣 Must say Jamie I was slightly disappointed at the reveal. I thought it was going to be the doorway into Narnia 😂 Enjoy your lovely new home both of you.
Jamie: "Why are you standing all the way over there?! You've got no faith in me, have you?!?" Also Jamie: "Is that the clutch, or is that the accelerator?" Sherpa: "I feel like I may still be standing too close, if I'm honest..."
always best to let the mower sit for wee bit after mowing Jamie before putting it away to cool down and don't forget to clean the blades of cut grass so the blades don't get dull sooner.
Yey, let's drop you big surprise bomb.😍 WOW, I'm thrilled. Not only Sherpa is very happy, but also Dad has a great toy for himself. He looks so happy and seems to be having a lot of fun mowing the huge area of grass. It's so much fun to watch and it makes you laugh. Always have a good trip!😁 A great, funny video😊 Have a great day buddy💙👊
Going around in a square or rectangle will make less turns/more efficient. Also ear muffs over your ear buds of choice if you want to listen to some tunes.
One house we rented 25 years ago came with a riding mower. Our young teenage son, who had zero interest in yard work, suddenly became a zealous mower of lawns. 🤣❤️
Hahaha never saw anyone having so much fun mowing the lawn 😂😂😂 Sherpie was avoiding the mower thinking now pops will ask me to hop on this as well....fluff my life 😂😂😂😂
Jamie, you looked like you were having so much fun. My parents had one just a bit bigger and Mom called it “Big Daddy”. Sherpa didn’t seem to be afraid of it which is great. I’m sure he was exhausted supervising your work. 😂 So glad you’ve got the new home. I can tell from your voice and facial expressions how relaxed and happy you are. Love and hugs to you both from Tennessee USA. 🥰🐾
What did I say just the other day you stinker!! 😂I said you needed a sit on one.Lovely. Brilliant gadget to have. Now what about the vegetable plot. Grow more, buy less = less money spent so more for the mortgage. Loving this so much. Stay safe xx
Careful Batdog doesn't steal it for one of his missions. There's a flood of zombies after sheep out in the country now. Just sayin'!🦇🐑🏍 Have fun Jamie!🥰
Sherpa isn’t afraid of anything new, even if it has a loud motor. I can only imagine how Keyush would react to a lawn mower driving around him. And……you’re covering for Batdog. There’s probably a door or something under the floor, leading to the Bat Cave. Yeah. That’s what I think. 🇨🇦❤️🥰
It's fantastic that they left you the riding mower, grass catcher, & looked like a trimmer on the wall in front of the mower!! That's an immense money saver!!! God bless them!! I love your excitement about mowing your property! I feel the same about mowing ours!! Especially when we got our Zero turn Husqvarna!! Enjoy!! 😃💖🤗💯
We had to buy the tractor and bush hog from the people who previously owned our place. My husband loved the tractor until the springs in the seat popped out. None of the John Deere dealers can replace the seat. The tractor was fairly new when we bought it. 😅
@@LindaC616 no. A bush hog mows down heavy grass, bushes, haha!, that sort of thing. It attaches to our tractor. We live on 5 grass acres. I watch as my husband does all the work. 😁 Our Malamute looks for rodents while I still do as little as possible.
OMG! We now see Jamie at his kid best happy self! How adorable is that? Love love love seeing Jamie so very happy! Sherpie seemed to take it all in stride. Next time lawn needs mowing, I expect to see Batdog at the wheel!!💙😂😅💚😅🤣💚😂😅💚🤣😂💙
Wow!!! Awesomeness a John Deere! You go, Jamie!!! My son and daughter just bought their dad a Shiney new Cub Cadet, and he teared up when he saw it. Can't keep him off of it, lol It's his favorite toy!
Mystery solved: it's a barn for the Bat-Deere! It's awesome to see you giggling like a schoolboy and enjoying a new experience, Jamie. Congratulations on your mower! Excellent brand, very highly respected in the U.S. Suggestion: Those planks are bending too much, btw the combined weight of the riding mower and your own weight, fit though you certainly are. You might want to install mirrors inside the shed and build a simple little short wedge against the threshold, all across, with some reinforcement within it. It'll give you a faster safer path out of the shed and reduce reliance on your neck turning, which can add up. Think about what makes it safer, easier and more comfortable to drive the van and mini. Just sharing lived experience. Happy mowing, boys! 💖
Sherpa loves snoozing on the grass and he looks adorably comfortable. You will have to work out his preferred length and try to keep it at that. I am so glad you enjoy mowing!
I've never seen a man so happy riding his lawn mower 😄! And, you got a John Deere! Excellent choice!! Now Sherpa will always have a beautiful lawn to play in. Moving to that beautiful home has made you both so happy. I love it!❤❤
You had WAY too much fun doing that! Love how Sherpa just accepted it and went to sleep. If the grass over there grows as quickly as it does here(US), you'll be out there every week! Enjoy!
Oh Jamie the look on your face and the sound of your voice, you can tell what a happy man you are !! Wonderful ! 😊 I have to say the shoe laces matching your new toy... over the top !! 😊 So happy for both of you ! Waves and love from SE Kansas USA
This mower sure makes it way easier to mow this great sized lawn. John Deere is a brand well known for farming equipment. Now you can enjoy lawncare. The only thing the mower needs is a cup holder for a cold drink (bottle of water maybe) on hot summer days - it has a small storage next to the seat...
Great mower! I bought a John Deere LT180 brand new in 2002 and after 21 years of zero problems I just sold it to a friends son and its still running like a top.
Finally!!!! So exciting! You didn't betray yourself at all when you cited those who guessed a lawn mower... You sound soooo excited, jamie! This whole new home adventure continues to deliver marvelous surprises... I am over the moon for you and Sherpa!
I don't have a mower but see that my lawn guys cut a different pattern/direction each time. Said it helps strengthen grass roots. Trick they told me is in the summer, let grass grow a little longer to shade itself when hot & dry. If lots of rain, ok to go a bit lower. There is evidently a science to it so now you'll be a lawn doctor with Lord Sherpa supervising!
6:00 Tip: Place a block of wood on the floor in front of the left front wheel, to act as a stop. Otherwise, you might have a bad day, if you drive through the back wall! =(
Wow did the house come with the John Deere? So Very cool!! Sherpa is like whatever Dad lol I did notice how much Sherpa really trusts you the way you got that close to him on that riding mower because most dogs would take off running and Sherpa trusted you I love that!!
Go online for an owner’s manual if you don’t have one, Jamie. Also a few other tips: Make sure to dump the cuttings before you store the mower. You don’t want them rotting in the catcher on the mower while it’s in a hot shed. Yuck, stinky! Mow the yard in different directions (north/south, east/west, diagonally, etc.) so you don’t get ruts in the lawn from the weight of the mower. Keep up on the maintenance. Keep the underside of the mowing deck clean to avoid buildup of grass debris. Mount a cup holder on the mower if it doesn’t yet have one. Stay hydrated!
I love Sherpa- so calm cool and collected. John Deere are good tractors. you can get a owners manual online or check if there is one in the shed. The place will look wonderful ! Way to go !
I knew this was going to happen today. Lol! I kept my instructions for years to look back on before I knew I would remember from year to year how to run mine. Be careful! I'm glad your yard is flat. What would look great in the shed with it would be all your license plates on the walls.
Some things I noticed. 1) No beer holder. 2) Once you get used to that mower, you'll need to cut the lawn into patterns such as a diamond pattern the way American Professional Baseball Stadiums cut their grass or, larger diamond patterns. But your first priority needs to be the beer holder. While waiting for the beer holder to be delivered from Amazon, you can start training Sherpa to fetch you a can of beer from the fridge while you are outside sweating and cutting the lawn.
Wow, great toy Jamie, mowing the gras must be so much fun this way 😂 Sherpie isn't to sure about it yet, but he will get used to it 😊 Stay safe and lots of love 🥰🥰🥰🥰🙋🏼♀️
Very cool! I figured it would be a lawn mover. So nice the place comes with it. First thing I noticed is wow, that's a lot of mowing in the garden when the grass starts growing. 😁 You can use the clippings to put on your plants for the extra nutrients too.
Hehe, that does look like fun. You might want to consider keeping an area wild and allowing various different wildflowers to grow. Extremely beneficial for pollinators, which are in serious decline and also they look really pretty. 🙂
Dear " Snuggles Plays.".. I was thinking the same, and remembered how boring mowing was , even on a small- ish suburban lawn about 40 feet by 30 feet. I made morders round the edge ( that saved a bit of mowing time), then left the middle to grow as a wildflower meadow : the bees, butterflies, etc . liked it . All the other gardens were kept bare and " nothing", no interest or help to wildlife. Even a blade of grass has a shadow ......when grass is shaved right down to an inch or 2, the area dries out quicker, so in droughts, it will go brown.....and be not much use to wildlife... Wildflower seeds can be bought, or collect some from plants that have seeded... Just thought, mowing that large area might become a burden.. I used to keep a few ragweeds (Beware, poisonous to horses) and every year had Cinnabar (?) moths🦋 grow on them. Very pretty.☺️🥀🌿🦋. I guess the field there kept low , stops obscuring the view, plus it's Sherpa's play area🐕 So a wildflower meadow as a feature would be lovely...🏞️🥀☺️. Could still have choice shrubs round the edges, or up near the house : over time, you need interest, and imho, just bare grass doesn't do much , it just sits there !☺️🐕🤔 Sure, dear Sherpa likes space to run and play, when he's not 💤sleeping💤 , or watching hours of mowing every 2 weeks..🚜🏞️. Here's a blank slate begging for creativity....🏞️🌻🌿🥀🌲 (Wonder what the soil is like under the grass ?). Love the videos ☺️. 🇬🇧🥀🌹🏞️🚜🦋🇬🇧
Mystery solved! No sauna but what a blessing you have a grass catcher! Hand mowing is bad enough but taking the grass is absolutely pointless! Great first go at it Jamie, there's a new career for you & supervisor Sherpa....landscaping 😂
Well, you're in it now. Next you'll be looking at strimmers and edgers and subscribing to lawn care packages. Sherpa: I'll just wait behind this tank... 😅
Of course there’s a riding lawnmower!!! 😂 Word of advice however, keep Sherpa in the house while mowing. Every year, we have cases where kids or pets get killed or injured by flying debris or getting run over! Meanwhile, enjoy your lawn toy!! 🤣
Jamie, pleeeease keep Sherpa well away from the mower when you are driving it. Sadly, accidents do happen and more often than you'd think!!! It was stressful watching you drive right up to Sherpa.
I was wondering how you were going to cut all that grass. I actually imagined you with a push mower spending all day in it. Or hooking Sherpa up to it.😂
You are too cute with your new toy! Have a ball Jamie!!! Sherps didn't seem to worried that your toy would do any harm which is so adorable. I love seeing you both enjoying your new home💖
I love that you are totally enjoying operating the mower, looks fun as well. Sherpa had a bit of sulky and judgemental look in his eyes, probably because dad's got a new ride 'Bitsy Green', which doesn't seem to involve him much… Heck green mower!! 😒😒🚙💨
Nice! The mower makes the chore lots of fun...😊 You might consider a snowblower attachment for the Deere or a small snowblower to keep next to the house along with a couple of snow shovels & some bags of sand/salt & a spreader for winter for the driveway & the walkways...you might also need chains for the rear wheels of the mower...I do not know how things are in the UK, but when the town plows the roads, they tend to pile snow as they pass onto the front of the driveway...it is easier to remove with a blower...you probably have a local Deere dealer in your area to give you guidance on prepping & maintenance of the mower for winter & summer....as a new customer, you might get some specials or a good discount for the blower attachment &/or the snow blower & perhaps for mower maintenance...they also may have assessories for the Deere like a cart to attach to the back of the mower for lawn & garden chores like mulching & planting & for giving Sherpie rides😊....so sorry to run on, these are just some ideas for your consideration....of course, it depends on your needs, interests & what you think you should have & your particular circumstances, including your knowledge of the area in order to get the best deals....But boy, it would be something to see you taking Sherpie for a ride on the cart!😅
Great one Jamie ! It didn't look like your first attempt at using that! Sherpa had his own fun staring at Jamie doing it 😂 Suggestion: do build a small ramp for it, it would be safer than the two planks! Suggestion is all!
As for those grass clippings, I’ve been throwing mine into the same area for some 30 yrs and it never gets bigger.. mixed with leaves and sticks etc, it turns into beautiful soul… 😊
We watch your videos everyday in western washington, usa!. Jamie ... when you mow, move the orange throttle control all the way up from "turtle to hare". You will get a much better cut with the blades turning fast (control your forward speed with your right foot) Also tell Sherpa to stay away from the mower It can spit out rocks and bits of tree at tremendous speed. We lost a 4x5 window that way! Love your new house!
Sherpa: It isn't too late to make this Sister Sarah's room,Dad!😋😂
I wondered if Sherpa had designated that as Sarah's quarters too! 😁 I used to tell my niece, who is the same age, that she had to sleep in the shed, when she stayed over!
Jamie. You need to make a sign that says Sister Sarahs Room and mount it on the door of the shed. 🤣
As Jamie would say, BRILLIANT comment. 😆
😂🤣😂Comment of the Day
😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
As a person with a two acre lawn Im telling Jamie hes going to spend ALOT of time on that Deere. Dont forget to fill your gas cans before the weekend while youre in town. Love your house. 💖
Definitely a step up from a push mower!
Those John Deere are actually really expensive!!!!
@@Agent00KK and really good!💪
To be honest you do look cool and Sherpa is just chilling
You need a great big lock on that shed .2 keep it safe
You really need a riding lawn mower 😅
I’ve never seen anyone so happy to be mowing their grass!!!🎉🎉
Yay! Jamies' got himself a John Deere! "Nothing rides like a Deere!" Have fun learning. I love your new place!
I wonder if it will get painted red?
"Nothing stinks like a John" all fun of course!
It Is NOTHING Like A Deere!!!
I Can Say That As That Is My Actual Last Name! 😁
@@Helen-ml3pu That would be sacrilegious! 🇺🇸
Bit of a strange comment my friend when the company name is clearly seen on its left hand side of the thing....😅

It's awesome that the mower came with the property cause they are very expensive and have almost doubled in price this year. You go boy. Have a great day ❤😊☀️
I had to pay extra for it unfortunately but worth it
😂, I never thought I’d find a video of someone mowing their lawn so mesmerising and see them having so much fun! Way to go, Jamie ❤️
😂 a man and his tractor 🤣
You probably already know, but let your mower cool off for while before you pull up close to wooden floors and walls. Lot of heat builds up in very little time in front of mower and base. Or at least leave shed open for bit. So happy for you and Sherp

Must say Jamie I was slightly disappointed at the reveal. I thought it was going
to be the doorway into Narnia 😂
Enjoy your lovely new home both of you.
Jamie: "Why are you standing all the way over there?! You've got no faith in me, have you?!?"
Also Jamie: "Is that the clutch, or is that the accelerator?"
Sherpa: "I feel like I may still be standing too close, if I'm honest..."
LOL!!
I noticed at the 4:15 mark where Sherpa was hanging out before Jamie brought out a treat!
You'll have to fit a baker's tray on the back for Sherpa to sit in, like farmers do for their sheepdogs.
Nice to see Sherpas gardener working 😉
Haha so much help😂
always best to let the mower sit for wee bit after mowing Jamie before putting it away to cool down and don't forget to clean the blades of cut grass so the blades don't get dull sooner.
What do you mean by “sit”?
But yes I always hose down my blades too, hell my push mower has lasted 14 years now.
@@RYMAN1321 leave it out before putting it away, allows the motor to cool down
Yey, let's drop you big surprise bomb.😍
WOW, I'm thrilled. Not only Sherpa is very happy, but also Dad has a great toy for himself.

It's so much fun to watch and it makes you laugh.
Always have a good trip!😁
A great, funny video😊
Have a great day buddy💙👊
Haha so so much fun 😂😂
Bet that smells wonderful...
@@Sherpas_vanlifeHow long did it take to cut entire area? 😊
Going around in a square or rectangle will make less turns/more efficient. Also ear muffs over your ear buds of choice if you want to listen to some tunes.
The smile alone says that Jamie is a happy lad!! Your happiness makes me happy for you, congratulations!!
Sherpa tell dad to get dinner ready and stop playing with his new toy hahaha 😂😂😂😂,love it ❤

It's always fun when Dad gets a new toy. Best way to mow that huge garden you have. Enjoy.💜💜💜
Nope, best way is to have some sheep or other animals to eat it.

Please be careful. Friend at work hit something on one of those, which shot out and cut his sons Achilles tendon. Put Sherp inside when mowing.
Sherpa looked so grumpy like he’s thinking “bro, this is just so inconvenient for me today 🙄” 😂
Wow, Jamie's new toy is amazing! He will have lot of fun with it! Poor sherpa feels abandoned for a lawn mower 😂😂
Beautiful home, beautiful yard, wonderful companion (Sherpa) equals a beautiful life. May you continue to be blessed.

Yep first time haha
@@Sherpas_vanlife Ya done good!
@Sherpas_vanlife Go up to rabbit speed. The blades spin faster to cut rather than beat grass blades. Very satisfying to watch.
Go online for an owner’s manual if you don’t have one, Jamie. Also a few other tips:
Make sure to dump the cuttings before you store the mower. You don’t want them rotting in the catcher on the mower while it’s in a hot shed. Yuck, stinky!

lawn about 40 feet by 30 feet.
I made morders round the edge
( that saved a bit of mowing time),
then left the middle to grow
as a wildflower meadow :
the bees, butterflies, etc .
liked it . All the other gardens
were kept bare and " nothing",
no interest or help to wildlife.
Even a blade of grass has a
shadow ......when grass is shaved
right down to an inch or 2,
the area dries out quicker,
so in droughts, it will go
brown.....and be not much
use to wildlife...
Wildflower seeds can be
bought, or collect some
from plants that have seeded...
Just thought, mowing that large
area might become a burden..
I used to keep a few ragweeds
(Beware, poisonous to horses)
and every year had Cinnabar
(?) moths🦋 grow on them.
Very pretty.☺️🥀🌿🦋.
I guess the field there kept low ,
stops obscuring the view,
plus it's Sherpa's play area🐕
So a wildflower meadow
as a feature would be
lovely...🏞️🥀☺️.
Could still have choice shrubs
round the edges, or up
near the house : over time,
you need interest, and
imho, just bare grass
doesn't do much , it just
sits there !☺️🐕🤔
Sure, dear Sherpa likes
space to run and play,
when he's not 💤sleeping💤 ,
or watching hours of
mowing every 2 weeks..🚜🏞️.
Here's a blank slate begging
for creativity....🏞️🌻🌿🥀🌲
(Wonder what the soil is like
under the grass ?).
Love the videos ☺️.
🇬🇧🥀🌹🏞️🚜🦋🇬🇧
@@rosemariemann1719 I couldn't agree more and I hope Jamie does too! 🙂❤
You definitely needed one of them. Have fun while it last 🤭 It's better than pushing 👍
Have a wonderful day 🤗
Haha 😊
@@Sherpas_vanlife 👋🤗
Your laughs of delight Jamie as you drove your new toy! You were having so much fun 😅
Lord Sheps you and your dad find some of the most amazing things enjoy guys much love❤❤
Haha thankyou 😊
Mystery solved! No sauna but what a blessing you have a grass catcher! Hand mowing is bad enough but taking the grass is absolutely pointless! Great first go at it Jamie, there's a new career for you & supervisor Sherpa....landscaping 😂
Jamie, you look so excited and happy riding the lawn mower. it was like Christmas Day, getting something from Santa !
Well, you're in it now. Next you'll be looking at strimmers and edgers and subscribing to lawn care packages.
Sherpa: I'll just wait behind this tank... 😅
Of course there’s a riding lawnmower!!! 😂
Word of advice however, keep Sherpa in the house while mowing. Every year, we have cases where kids or pets get killed or injured by flying debris or getting run over!
Meanwhile, enjoy your lawn toy!! 🤣
Jamie, pleeeease keep Sherpa well away from the mower when you are driving it. Sadly, accidents do happen and more often than you'd think!!! It was stressful watching you drive right up to Sherpa.
I was wondering how you were going to cut all that grass. I actually imagined you with a push mower spending all day in it. Or hooking Sherpa up to it.😂
Congratulations Jamie! With that big-ass John Deere riding mower, you're officially an honorary North American now! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸
I love cutting the grass! Having a riding mower must be fun! Happy homeowner! ♥
Does my Hayfever great 😂
@@Sherpas_vanlife Haha, small price to pay for such a big, beautiful yard I guess! Have fun!
@@Sherpas_vanlifeMy stepdad wears a mask while mowing. Also ear protection (although for him, that ship has sailed and he’s stone deaf). 😊
@@Sherpas_vanlife A basic mask will help with that.
A man sitting on a lawnmower says `is that the clutch or the accelerator`, is normally the first 5 minutes of an episode of Casualty.
😅 lol!!😅 You are officially a home owner/ suburban dad! 🎉😂 I think your years of cafe racing helped you on this!!😅❤
😂😂 definitely
You are too cute with your new toy! Have a ball Jamie!!! Sherps didn't seem to worried that your toy would do any harm which is so adorable. I love seeing you both enjoying your new home💖
❤ You love teasing us don't you 😂. All that time waiting for you to reveal what's in there. Love it though 🤣❤❤
😂😂 was it worth it lol
@@Sherpas_vanlife 😂 Yes, it was worth it Jamie, definitely ❤️
I like the way you had Sherpa operate the camera while you were cutting the grass !
I love that you are totally enjoying operating the mower, looks fun as well. Sherpa had a bit of sulky and judgemental look in his eyes, probably because dad's got a new ride 'Bitsy Green', which doesn't seem to involve him much… Heck green mower!! 😒😒🚙💨
I thought it might be sit on mower. What fun that is!! Toys for boys 😅 Sherpas like "Whatever Dad" 😂😂 💙💙
Jamie your like a kid with a new toy 😅😅! Great to see you n Sherpa living your best lives!
Cool! Keep your grass clippings to compost. Makes excellent soil! 😊❤️🇨🇦
I wondered if he thought to empty the grass out afterwards 😊 I'm assuming there's a collection bag on it.
Looks great fun, though, loved watching.
Nice! The mower makes the chore lots of fun...😊 You might consider a snowblower attachment for the Deere or a small snowblower to keep next to the house along with a couple of snow shovels & some bags of sand/salt & a spreader for winter for the driveway & the walkways...you might also need chains for the rear wheels of the mower...I do not know how things are in the UK, but when the town plows the roads, they tend to pile snow as they pass onto the front of the driveway...it is easier to remove with a blower...you probably have a local Deere dealer in your area to give you guidance on prepping & maintenance of the mower for winter & summer....as a new customer, you might get some specials or a good discount for the blower attachment &/or the snow blower & perhaps for mower maintenance...they also may have assessories for the Deere like a cart to attach to the back of the mower for lawn & garden chores like mulching & planting & for giving Sherpie rides😊....so sorry to run on, these are just some ideas for your consideration....of course, it depends on your needs, interests & what you think you should have & your particular circumstances, including your knowledge of the area in order to get the best deals....But boy, it would be something to see you taking Sherpie for a ride on the cart!😅
Great one Jamie ! It didn't look like your first attempt at using that! Sherpa had his own fun staring at Jamie doing it 😂
Suggestion: do build a small ramp for it, it would be safer than the two planks! Suggestion is all!
The Yard is massive. When do we get to see Sherpa and Key running and playing on it?
Very very soon Neo 😊
As for those grass clippings, I’ve been throwing mine into the same area for some 30 yrs and it never gets bigger.. mixed with leaves and sticks etc, it turns into beautiful soul… 😊
I suspected it was a mower shed. Nice mower, nothing runs like a Deere.❤
We watch your videos everyday in western washington, usa!. Jamie ... when you mow, move the orange throttle control all the way up from "turtle to hare". You will get a much better cut with the blades turning fast (control your forward speed with your right foot) Also tell Sherpa to stay away from the mower It can spit out rocks and bits of tree at tremendous speed. We lost a 4x5 window that way! Love your new house!
