I had no idea that I had super human strength.
But apparently I do.
I went to start the mower this morning and yanked the string right out.
I about fell on my butt too.
I had to take a quick look around to make sure none of the neighbors were outside.
Laughing and pointing would have happened for sure.
I texted the hubby at work and told him what happen.
Thinking for sure that we'd have to go get a new mower.
"No." he said.
"I can just re-string it."
Me: "You know how to do stuff like that?"
Chris" Uh....I think so."
Me: "Should I call Joey and ask him?" (Joey is our very handy neighbor.)
Chris" "No! I can do that."
Me: "Okay....!"
Love my hubby dearly...but I don't think of him as being the most handy guy.
I obviously don't give him the credit he deserves.
(yes....that's what I said....are you reading this dear???)
Because to my surprise......he fixed the mower!
And I took pictures to make a little tutorial out of it.
In case this happens to you!
Enjoy!
First, unscrew the top of the mower. Ours had three screws holding the top down.
Not sure of the technical name for any of this. But, next your going to un-screw the spinny-looking thing. There were two screws on either side of it.
You SHOULD disconnect the spark plug when taking your mower apart, just to make sure it doesn't accidentally start.
This is Chris pointing where the new string will go.
Here's the hole inside the spinny-thing where your string will come out of. You'll have to spin the inside of it, to make the holes line up.
