Sorry, Watching Harry Potter with the daughter, and I couldn't help but notice the NEAT striping on the quidditch field :)

Man, some of those stripes appear to be 40' wide! Must be some mower they used! And they're straight as an arrow, with striping right to the stands... Wow! I wish I could do that, I can't seem to get rid of the lack of striping where I turn around!

:p Gotta love computer animation!

I just bought the book about striping. There's more to it than just mowing with a rotary mower. Sometimes they use greens mowers, sometimes they use a roller after they mow. It's a great book and I recommend it.

No. It takes you thru the whole lawn care process and then at the end it shows how to make and stripes and what it looks like at the end.

Thank y'all for information about this book. A little tip that I learned when searching for a book, I go to:

http://www.bestbookbuys.com

This website does a comparison of quite a few online bookstores. If you enter the author, title, or ISBN number, it will bring up your book and compare the prices. For example, with Mr. Mellor's book (list price $34.95), it shows that half.com and Amazon both have a used one for $17.95. Buy.com has a new one for $24.11. It computes approximate shipping and also has a rating for each online bookstore. My regular job is in the software field so I tend to buy quite a few books and have found this site invaluable.

I am in no way connected to bestbookbuys.com. I just thought you may be interested in this site.
