Yard Work

So remember I got this tiny little electric tiller? I took it out in the backyard to tear up some Dog Holes on Tuesday. It sprinkled a little bit, so maybe the ground will be a little bit softened up. It was a little test to see how it would work.
See those dog holes? Kinda hard to see in the picture, but you could break a leg on one of those holes. 
Here, I highlighted the worst holes. See they look blue in the same picture above. Now, I'm going to plug in this tiller and  WOW!!!!!!
Look at this! That little tiller chewed up the ground with ease! I just held on tight and it did a great job! It's also lightweight so I could move it around to level out the Dog Holes. I spent about 15 minutes and got these holes done! I would have spent at least an hour doing it with a shovel-especially since the ground is still pretty hard.  I think this is an excellent purchase. 
I also took some time to rotate equipment-snow blower to the back and lawn mower to the front of the garage. And I put the battery back in the lawn mower. And plugged in the chargers for the push mower and weed whacker. 
And I also tested out an idea I've had for awhile. 
I've had this hole reel sitting around out in the garage for a few YEARS now, and I wanted to see if the little Dewalt air compressor would be strong enough to use it. 
I got it all connected, and it does blow pretty well-not a lot of pressure, but Ringo wanted to eat it!
He was eager to bite the air!

And it was enough pressure, and hose length that I could blow all the tree debris off the front ramp. The wind has been crazy lately and we have lots of tree buds everywhere. 
And on Friday I mowed the lawn for the first time of the season.
