Andrew, you have conjured up for me the delightful mental picture of you,
trying to make good your escape from the house, armed only with a machete,
pitted against a goat with a chainsaw.

A nice image, which will remain imagined :-)

Get rid of the grass, as well as the mower. Easy. lawn is only green desert
after all and consumes endless personal and environmental resources for
dubious gains. Try and reach a stage where 'gardening' 
can be achieved by the use of a goat and a chainsaw - with occasional
recourse to a machete when you can't quite get out of the house easily.
It's taken me years to get to that stage, mostly because I have better
things to do than fight nature's entropy, a wife who confines her
contribution to complaining about the state of it and a son who wouldn't be
interested unless it was a computer simulation. Let it go/grow - it will
after you've gone anyway.
