It's a clear day, a little warm of course, but at least no rain (that comes tomorrow apparently). So 2nd Man is staying in town and I'm heading out to the farm.
First, need to see what has been done, though with third party inspections and stuff, it was a relatively quiet week out there. Secondly, I need to edge the fruit tree area. Haven't done that in a. few weeks since the trimmer died so we had to break down and buy...
...a new string trimmer! Got a good one too AND it's electric. While researching, we decided to get the E-Go brand. But we didn't just buy a trimmer, which they make, we went with their powerhead plus series, this one packaged with the string trimmer. The system is awesome because of this:
One powerhead has all sorts of tools and attachments. We upgraded to the bigger battery, with a runtime of 60 minutes on a full charge and takes about 45 minutes to fully recharge. Eventually we'll get a second (and third or even fourth) battery so we're always ready to go. Anyway, lots more about all this in a future post. For now, I can clean that area up and make it look good once again.
That's the only thing I want to do out there, shouldn't need to mow so it's a quick trip with a lot of work and then back to recover the rest of the weekend.
Hope your weekend is off to a good start!
Wow, that looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteMultiple batteries is an excellent idea.

DeleteHaving one battery gives a darn good excuse to take a water/snack/cool-down/potty break while it charges. Some of those attachments look rather painful if careful attention isn't maintained while using them. New toys...I mean tools - always a good time!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a super multi-use trimmer. It will be very convenient to have one powerhead for a multitude of jobs.
