Who Else Wants To Try Out A Pro Lawn Mower On A Big Lawn?

July 30, 2008 · Filed Under How To, Landscaping, Lawns · Comment 

Ever wonder what it’s like to use some of the pro lawnmowers?  Well, anywhere there is a large lawn that is what usually get’s used so that it can be done faster and better.  These machines take some practice to get good at.

They are powerful and cost a lot more than the homeowner mower that you may have at home but this is what is needed to keep the big lawns looking good.  As you’ll see in this video, they are a lot harder to use than most of us think they would be at first.

Gutter Cleaning By Hand

July 15, 2008 · Filed Under Exterior maintenance, Gutters, Home improvement · Comment 

Gutter cleaning is one of those things that needs to be done at least once a year and quite likely even more than that depending on the are that you live in.  If you have trees with leaves or needles on then you can expect to clean them a number of times throughout the year to keep the water flowing through the gutters and down the downspouts.

Let’s be frank about this.  It is not a fun or glorious job but it is one of those things that has to get down.  There are many methods to get them clean but I have found that the only way to really get them cleaned out not cause more mess on the outside of your home on the ground below is to just get up to the eaves either on the ladder or walking along the roof (if it is not too steep) and clean out the debris by hand and or with a scoop as you see below.  You’ll be amazed at what you’ll find in there.


I’ve found everything from leaves, twigs, rocks, candy wrappers and nails in there.  So, wear gloves and be very careful on the ladder.  Safety is your first and most important concern.

Enjoy the video.
