Got my new pump. Went with this one...
»www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=p···age=none
A little more power than my 1/3 hp Rigid and I like that I can adjust where the switch goes and it's very easy to replace if needed with the pump on place. Hopefulle this one will last a while.
Just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have a basement full of water when I get home.  |

I have that same leaf blower...I mostly use it for cleaning out the gutters. I have discovered it's teh perfect size for clearing birds nests out of bathroom fan vents. Just put it up to the hose in the bathroom and *poof* insta bird nest cannon outside.

Finally looks like it's moving out. According to the map it should be gone by about 4pm. Finally! |

my power came back on and our sump pump shot out a jet of water as it emptied it. |

Something funny about taking a leaf blower into a bathroom then seeing a birds nest go shooting out of the vent outside.

said by Dennis :I only burnt for "recreational purposes" in a pit smaller than 3 feet...so the answer is yes. To be honest I didn't burn that much only enough so I could mulch the rest without leaving behind mud pits. Nothing better than the smell of burning leaves... Brings back memories of long time gone... I look at your jpeg and I can smell em' ...  ... |

I spent a couple hours raking leaves today. It sucked, but now I can see my lawn again.
