If I DID have a need, it might be a good trick to know about.
I can get my mowing deck to 6 inches up.
Don't have a clue whether it would start, it lives outside under a tarp.
I understand the feeling: I'm getting a bad case of cabin fever myself. I'm making a list of chores: When to graft, which trees/ bushes to get, from whom... Go over the seeds I've saved. Thumbing through seed catalogs. Any seeds that are too old will get tossed in fertile ground, in case they'd grow, somewhere, close to where the chickens can get at it. I fixed their door today. Before too long, spring cleaning and taxes. I'm not sure which one I hate the most. I want to build a chick-mobile... Spring fever... bad. Projects ... good.
I'm tackling sewing projects - same concept - keep my mind off things I'd *love* to be working on outside, but it's just not safe - we're getting rain on top of icy snow, so you never quite know where your foot will
land once your weight's fully on it. I already had a bad fall 3 days ago - I'd just got my Right shoulder working and am back to square one or nearly... sigh...
However - we get wet heavy snow. A friend of mine bought a snow blower attachment for a walking
tractor. He pushed it out of the shed through the snow - bad idea, as the front was now in the heavy snow and when he went to start it, he broke the shear bolts and spent the rest of the day trying to figure out how to fix it. Patience is a virtue. If I'm patient with this snow, it will go away on its own.
