The string trimmer is dead to me.

In my neighborhood, the code enforcement people have very little to do. Despite illegal porches and balconies being built, occasionally collapsing and killing people, they go around and check to see if you have been diligent in trimming your lawn, cleaning the yard and making the place beautiful. And they're not shy about handing out citations, either.

I've already lost my temper at the asshole and threatened to FIND him something better to do if he didn't do it himself. From my yard, I see three major code violations, more in the papers.

So now I've had to hire a yard crew to do the work.
This since my string trimmer rusted and I can't get it to start. To it's credit, it always ran fine once it warmed up and I'd buy another (I will next spring). Tony, try Poulan and don't be cheap. Do your homework before you buy and check Consumer Reports, you can read it for free at B&N.

Always buy quality, you'll never be sorry. Good advice no matter what you apply it to.
