I want to get out and spray my weeds in my gravel before they take over the yard. But it was way too breezy yesterday. Also need to weed eat my little bit of grass in the corner of my backyard. Martha when you get rain you get alot. It can rain off and on all day and night here and we dont even get a quarter of an inch or if we are lucky maybe a half inch. Seems like the totals are off. I might have to buy a rain gauge LOL
Bought myself a new toy this week. LOL It is a mini saw so I can trim my maple tree out front. Some of the branches are too thick for my hedge trimmer so this should be just about perfect as I dont have anything else I need to trim that the nippers wont work on. I need to charge it first so hopefully later on I can give it a try.
Colliemom wrote:Anne, I use a battery operated Ryobi reciprocating saw for tree trimming. Works great. No fuss, no muss. When the blade goes down I just pitch it out and put a new one in. Because I use Ryobi tools I have about six or seven batteries, so when one runs down, I just take it off, put it on the charger and put another one on. They can go quite a while on a charge. There different kinds and lengths of reciprocating saw blades, depending upon what you’re going to do. I use the ones for for cutting wood. I didn’t want to get into a chainsaw because then if the chainsaw blade way down, you have to take it off and go through all that junk and I didn’t wanna bother with it. Plus, I don’t know if the chainsaws need the boiled like the gas ones are or not. The reciprocating saw, give me the versatility for doing wood or metal or whatever I might need to use it on. Blade brand doesn’t matter.
I'm kind of afraid of chain saws anyway - I always worry that the chain will break or come off or something and hit me in the face.
