  1. My sister bought one but needs two batteries to do the whole lawn.
  2. Just got mine done, it took an hour and 45 minutes and even got a start on my tan.
  3. What he says is true but the problem I had with it one year is I had a large section of some species of grabgrass that used to clog and bog down my lawn tractor, I used to call it gorilla grass. Thankfully I planted regular grass one year and it never came back.
  4. The nice thing about that tool is you don't have to bend over and you can pull the weed and toss it into your wheelbarrow all in one motion. First year I got it I yanked about 200 dandelions out and it never bothered my back.
  5. I bought a weed puller at HD, works well for getting the whole root out, I yanked out about 100 of them in my lawn. I think I paid #30 for the tool. I just go around with my wheelbarrow, yank them out throw them in the wheelbarrow and dump the load in the woods. WaLensee 39 in.

  6. Anyone have a battery powered lawn mower? I bought one today, love it. I do most of my lawn with my lawn tractor but need a small one for edges and some other spots. More powerful than I thought and its nice and quiet.
  7. I'm hoping to do mine tomorrow if it finally dries out.
  8. It's great when that happens, keeps the wife on her toes.
  9. Last weekend was a good time to put down your fertilizer and seed, easy week to take care of it.
  10. My cousin lives in Southern New Jersey near a swampy area of the ocean. Every year the turtles come up to her neighborhood and bury their eggs in her yard.
  11. I did the same, have a ton of weeds already so I put the kibosh on them.
  12. They must, Chicopee does, and their electric rate is similar to Templeton. There are lots of homes in Chicopee with electric heat because it's cheaper than oil. Most of the time, electric heat hurts the sale of a house but not in Chicopee. I have National Grid but signed on with a different provider with a rate much cheaper than National Grid, I knocked over $100 off my monthly bill.
  13. Don't think I could drive in that, I get anxiety driving through the tunnel to get to Logan.
  14. I just checked weather for our opening of our golf league next Weds, high in the low 40's, hopefully sunny, drizzle and 40's sucks to golf in.
  15. That is funny. There's a DD in Webster, we drove by it one Saturday and the line was blocking a road, my wife said it's worse during the work week. There's a simple way around the blocked road but I had to laugh at your description of your experience.
  16. Minnesota parts of the Dakotas, they had a blizzard and winter storm warning just the other day. Some places had a foot+.
  17. Ill have to put my seed down soon and fertilize.
  18. Probably because you were in so much pain, I could walk better the day after I had my hip replaced, it felt great to walk without pain. Knees take a little longer to heal, the joint is more complicated than the hip.
  19. You're way ahead of me, I just got buds on my fruit trees this week. No forsythia yet
  20. My doctor keeps encouraging me to get the shingles shot but I've heard stories like yours, so I've been hesitant to get it.
  21. That's exactly like the one I did with the sisters whose parents had passed. House could have been really nice, it was newer and had an inground pool.
  22. Another warm Friday, maybe that's this years theme.
  23. I've been in some nasty homes over the years, two hoarding sisters where I had to walk through a path throughout the house, but the worst was one in Springfield. An elderly couple hoarded cats, they had over 50 of them and the wife was hospitalized, soon thereafter the husband was too. They were both in for a couple months while the cats were alone in the house. Eventually the authorities took the cats away. When I was there the wife had passed but the husband was alive and living in the house. You have no idea what over 50 cats will do in a house for weeks without being fed. The smell almost knocked me out and the cat piss curled the Formica countertops. They also pissed along the baseboards which were bubbled up. The old man was living in those conditions. A year later I got an order to appraise the house again, by this time the old man had passed, and a contractor purchased the house and gutted it and renovated it, it was in good shape this time.
