Big Purchase

Since owning the storage facility, we have had very few costs (huge relief!).  However, business ownership cost us a little this past week.  The storage facility was sold to us with a riding lawn mower....old, but working.  It didn't come as a large shock when it stopped working a couple of weeks back.  Trent checked on repairing it, but we ultimately decided to put it down.

In my mind, this was an easy choice.  We have a nice riding mower at our home (10 minutes from the storage facility) and we're at the end of September.  We should obviously take our mower back and forth for the 3-4 more times that the lawn needs to be mowed.  Clearly we should put off making a high dollar purchase until spring.  Trent didn't agree.  He felt that we should sell our nice riding John Deere to the storage facility and we should buy a new zero turn mower for our house now (since prices will be cheaper than in the spring).  Side note: since we bought this house in May, Trent has mentioned a zero turn mower EVERY SINGLE TIME he has mowed the lawn.  Apparently, when you have a large lawn these things move pretty fast.

Turns out he was right!  We got a steal!!!  Trent is thrilled since he was able to get his zero turn lawn mower and I'm thrilled because he's thrilled at how fast he now mows the lawn.
