It's a 20 by 30 foot lawn area.
How's that, ok?

Square not cubed..which is why he responded.

Yes, however I thought that the "Spelling Police" was only still around on places like Google and AI.
My original "mistake" would naturally be translated-understood by most people and just moved on.

My next door neighbors are on their 3rd summer with their Ryobi self propelled mower and are very happy with it. I tried it out and liked it as well. They got the snowblower as well but its a bit wimpy and only good for medium snowfalls of light stuff, luckily we've had not big snow falls . Me I'm on my 18th year with my Lawnboy self propelled (Honda Gold engine) and have had zero issues ever. I had the oil changed last month for the second time since I've owned it, along with the blade sharpened. It has never failed to start on the second pull, even after sitting all winter in the shed with old gas in it. It's been an amazing lawnmower. The best feature of this lawnmower is that you never have to bend down to remove or replace the bag. Just swing the handle up and you can lift the bag straight up and off.... empty it,, then drop it back down, no spring loaded rear flap to mess with and that means everything when you have terrible back issues like I do.. lol. Here's my Ben pictured with it in 2007 when I got it.

How many of you here, besides me, still to this day own a vintage electric mower from the 1980s and back (Sunbeam and others)?

My neighbor was using a Sunbeam electric mower up until a few years ago.
That poor thing struggled with his lawn, I could hear the motor laboring.
It was never serviced or maintained either.

Mine is a 2005 Black & Decker 18" cheap ($159) mower, it still does it's job but I don't subject it to a lot of strain.

Was it one of those old twin-blade models from the '50s or '60s?

And it surprises me to see that not one cent went into keeping it in check (motor, blades, etc.).

Not spelling..The Math Police.
Sq foot is area
Sq foot = length * width
Cubic foot is volume
Cq ft= base *width*height

Sorry,
