Fandabisdozie now I know what to do with that old mower. Does it work?

I spent 10 minutes sucking/blowing snow around with my petrol leaf blower/vacuum. Once it had a mouthful of snow, it just kept sucking and turning it into a very fine, sticky powder that blew everywhere and wouldn't shovel up. Bugger..

the worst bit about this designis when the neighbours look out the window at you and see you trying to mow the snow pmsl

Hard work on compacted snow, looks like it would be spot on if the stuff
was fresh.

Top effort.

So long as your neighbour isn't trying to look through his window to find that he hasn't got one because your "Monster Garage" snowblower just sucked up and lobbed a brick/cat/small child through it

We used one of these once, and the boss at the time OK'd it.

Seeing as they are binning the harriers, have you not considered buying one for clearing the drive ??


scutter - 3/12/10 at 12:18 AM

Or space heater for the workshop.
