I think it won’t be long before a drone mower will come along. You use it once to mow your lawn, it maps out how and where to do it based on your guide, and next time you just take it to where you started and press GO.

I am waiting for the push free smart mower.

wow that was fast, 15 minutes later free shipping is already out of stock, only local store pick up.

Dang! I would have snatched a few of those! But wow, that was pretty soon after the last time, gives me hope that it’ll come around again fairly soon…

By the way, I also did a no load test. Just let the grinder with no wheel not cutting or grinding anything run and it ran for 45 minutes.

Terro works too for pavement or crazy ants.

Also if you use a vacuum to suck up the lines after you flush them , what do you do with the water in the vacuum , I guess you just dispose of it regularly

Interesting topic.
What about pools

well, temperature of the water makes a big difference. For this reason the chance of this happening in Florida is much higher than it happening in say Wisconsin or Alberta. Warm water tends to promote bacterial growth. Stagnant or non moving water has a much higher risk not only because the water is not “moving” but also because whatever…[Read more]

get the forth saw. That way you have saw horses for them and you will be four sawhorsemen.

Trying to clean up a koi pond at a new property I purchased that has over a foot of leaves settled to the bottom.

The best yard sale I found was at an electrician’s house 3 years ago. He retired and posted an ad on Craig’s list for a bunch of tools and materials. I called him up because I was interested in a set of “vintage” Lenox and Milwaukee hole saws he had for sale.

So I went to his house and his garage was full of stuff. We started talking shop and…[Read more]

We have plenty of pea gravel or crush stone driveways. No snow to shovel here, but it makes it hard to roll out the trash carts and if you have a tower of L-boxxes on wheels or a wheel barrow is hard to balance it. Your new toy Makita wheel barrow may have trouble with it?

So I received a replacement angle grinder today from Bosch, hoping that will resolve the quick battery consumption problem (doubtful but will try it).

On the packing slip it says “DO NOT PULL FROM STOCK, SEE BELINDA FOR TOOL”. What does it mean?

Simply that it’s Belinda’s turn to have the glory of wiping the too…

I have been posting quite a bit about cordless angle grinders lately.

Today the property next door to where I was working removed the formwork for the tie beam.

A guy was walking on the edge of the roof, holding a 2X3 or 2×4, at the other end of the 2X he duct taped a small angle grinder and he’s reaching down to cut off the protruding metal…[Read more]

I don’t know what is happening. I keep seeing dead animals.

Last week I saw a decapitated head of an anole lizard.

This week I saw this, at another job.

Is this the work of a cat too?

Summer is here, suffocatingly HOT!!!

One of my problems are some of the properties have pea gravel driveways and walkways. Most of my work boots would trap these small pebbles inside the treads. It seems you can either have slip resistance or have pebbles trapping shoes. If you see someone using a flat head screwdriver picking pebbles off the bottom of their shoes that’s me LOL.

The two batteries I tried the grinder on are new.

One was a 6.3ah battery I bought to use with the Bosch compact saw and the other came with the Freak kit I won. Both tools I put away after doing some tests against e…[Read more]

Thank you CB and looking forward to hear what you learned from Makita.
