Woodworker or Redneck?

I dunno...the fact you're using a lawn mower could eliminate the red-neck part, but if you're using it to mow the isles between the cars up on blocks in the yard may still qualify you.

paint her red and be dun wid it

The fact you fixed it so you could finish the lawn, I would say would put you in between. As a woodworker, I figured you would just build a whole new body out of white oak or pressure treated and marine plywood.
A red neck fix the mower so he could mow?
