Lawnmower Mechanic?


About every 2 years when Mike buys a new lawnmower, he keeps the old one for a while for any serviceable parts (as he buys the same brand and model each time).  Once it's been stripped as much as it can, he dumps it.  This time Jayden asked if he could strip it down further.  He worked on it for weeks and weeks and despite his ADHD, was very, very focused on the task at hand for most of the time.  Unfortunately he did turn it over at one stage and so we now have a huge oil blotch on the back cobblestones, but it was worth it and I'm sure we can clean them off.  
He thoroughly enjoyed undoing all the nuts and bolts and having a good old look around inside.  Future lawnmower mechanic?  Could be very handy for Mike!
