Gas powered hedge trimmer
Once back home I had to pick up with never ending yard work. This week I wanted to do my annual shrub and hedge trimming. There is no way to make that task exciting, especially when the temps are going to reach 90+. The first time I did this task when we first moved in was with a regular electric hedge trimmer. After about an hour of attempting the job, I gave up, and told Judy there had to be a better way. Of course, she had a good answer to my dilemma. She said I should use what the lawn care crew used when they worked at her branch. She didn't know exactly what the name of the tool was but she described it. I knew what she was describing - a gas powered pole trimmer, why didn't I think of that. I went to the ACE Hardware the next day and rented one. I have been renting one each yr since. It is easy to use and I am able to complete the job in less than 4hrs -including breaks.
Just a small portion to be trimmed

Karen and Al, writers of one of the blogs I follow recently completed their first year of full-time RVing. Congratulations to both of them.
That is all for now.

Al had one of those gas powered trimmers, but the ethanol in the gas always caused problems. It sounds like a better idea just to rent one.
ReplyDeleteGood luck fishing.
After viewing a news story about the negative effects of ethanol (gasket & rubber seals)I quit using blended gas. I use nonethanol fuel in all my gas powered tools, lawn mower, jet ski, and boats. I also use a fuel additive that keeps the fuel from breaking down. I do use ethanol (with added additives)in my car and truck.
