Last weekend, between thunderstorms we bought a corded electric weed trimmer and cut down the weeds which had grown, since spring, to over three foot in places. We got an electric trimmer as they are easier to start, quieter and not as heavy, plus they are a third of the price. It won’t be as powerful but our garden isn’t really big or wild enough now to warrant a petrol/gas one.
I also started to prune the very large red maple. I got a couple of branches down but it’s a big tree and as we have branches going over the neighbour’s roof, we’ll find a local arborist who can elegantly finish it off. If anyone can recommend a local arborist please let us know.
Jackhammer came to the rescue again. We were trying to remove an old metal railing, but each metal post was stuck in a huge concrete block and we couldn’t pull or leverage it out etc. About one minute with the jackhammer and we had the blocks broken up.
Just think how many classic cars you can fit in your garden. :o)
Well in the garage if they were truly classic. My fantasy but almost realistic list would consist of (in no particular order), BMW 840/85, early Porsche 928, early Jensen Healey, Daimler Dart SP250 and an early Range Rover or Land Rover.
