I have done it
It's most definitely not the norm, but I have done it at least twice. Both times a storm was coming in and it was due to be rainy for the next few days..........it was either get it done THEN or the grass would be a jungle by the time I could mow and I hate trying to mow the yard after its gotten so tall.
The whole time I was doing it, I kept waiting for an angry neighbor to come out and complain, LOL, I was all set to explain, apologize, and offer some home made cookies if need be :lol-sign:
