:licking::licking:I drove an 18 wheeler for 16 years,now that I have retired I find that runnin my little 10hp rider 30in, gives me a good feeling. I mow the yards next to me (both sides) for free just because I like riding my mower.I am not in the country I live in a city with small yards. Does anyone else have this feeling :confused2:Just FUI one side is a foreclosure and the other is a woman living on S.S. I have been asked to mow other lawns but its not as pleasing to do it for money as it is for nothing.:biggrin:

Keep doing it.
Your one of a very few that isn't asking "What's in it for me"
I thank you!

There's nothing wrong with you. You're a good hearted, decent individual who cares about others first.

Nothing wrong with you, I do that stuff all the time. You would be surprised how many lawns I've done for nothing. Don't get me wrong, I like too make the money but there are some people who need the help worse than I need the money and like you said gives ya a good feeling.

One of my neighbors in the city has a small (6' x 25') strip of grass but no mower. I cut that when I cut my yard and it's no big deal. In fact, I think it's good for my mower because the mower warms up fully while it would not quite get there cutting my yard alone.

If I could afford to, I would definitely do something like that for free.

I've been mowing the yard next to mine for five years. A widow lady lived there until she died about a year ago and I just kept on mowing the grass. I never charged her but she insisted on buying some gasoline for my mower so I'd let her because it made her feel good. She had a reverse mortgage and the house is for sale but I sure don't want to live next to a vacant house that looks terrible so I keep it looking like someone lives there.

There is nothing wrong with doing charitable work and if more people did charity work the world would be a better place.

all I can say is more power to you... I have mowed lots of yards for friends or family to help them out. It always gives me a good feeling. I am not in the biz tho and it is small enough I have never had to worry about additional wear and tear. They say charity starts in the heart and you sir have a good heart!
