Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

John, what about a tiger torch/roofing torch/pear burner/weed burner? Could work well. Or find an army surplus flame thrower.

I guess if you were tired of mowing, you could find a farmer with a crop sprayer. Just round up the whole lawn.

Like John said, just isn't as permanent as you'd like. My old neighbor burned his driveway weeds almost every other week. I spray 3-4 times a year and that's it...

This sprayer I got is a chapin. Looks well made ?

Good point on the torch, I had forgot he results I had burning around the garden. It killed the broad leaf weeds for a while, but the grass was back within a week. Not sure how I forgot that?


You could probably build a spray boom without too much trouble. Find some cheap sprayer nozzles and some iron pipe. Make it a hitch mount for mower or truck. Add a 12 volt pump, and that could work real well. You mighr be able to find a used spray boom cheap somewhere? I know when my uncle got his place, he found about 10 sections in the machine shed

Going to go get a hot water tank today,I think ? LOL Sold plenty of saws ! LOL

Talked the OL out of redoing the other bathroom till Mom goes back to Fla. We need 2 bathrooms to bad till then !

Chapin and Solo are the two brands that seem to last the longest around here at the office. We go through ~3-4 / week spraying fuel oil on asphalt tools to keep the asphalt from sticking to everything from tires to truck beds to shovels.

I have most of the stuff to build one. But I don't need to spray that much. LOL Water tank and pump out of this camper would work.

Least put it off till I have less to do outside ! LOL

They are very spendy but I got tired of the cheap sprayers I had before. I also can get the rebuild kits local for the Solo so when I replaced the cheap first one.. I went for what I knew was serviceable.

When I get done with this kitchen I'm not doing another thing in the house until I get the 55EV gone and build my 288 and 372. That will round out my work fleet of saws and get them out of boxes all over the place. Then I can focus on Gravely stuff and keep the MiniMacs for the winter when I need a reason to drink and keep warm!:msp_w00t:

[tbone75]

Brunch and cotton candy time ! May get moving after that ? My days don't start till after noon ! LOL

 

[tbone75]

Down right hot out there ! And I like it just fine ! LOL

Forgot I have my truck window to fix ! Need to look that up,not sure how it goes together ? The Vette was the easiest window motor I ever put in ! Really amazed me ! Nothing else on one is easy to get to !
