Where it all started.
The Lawnmower Project started when I realized two things. First, I learned with a little help from Google how easy it is to fix a lawnmower. Second, I noticed that when a lawnmower breaks down, people are more apt to just put it at the end of their driveway and buy a new one instead of wasting time and money trying to fix it. So, I started picking up lawnmowers on the side of the road to see if I could fix them.
Quickly, I started to accumulate many lawnmowers. And since the typical household really only needs one lawnmower, I had to think of something to do with all of them. And thus, The Lawnmower Project was born.
