madman_usMember since Sep 2014Mar 25, 2015 12:16 PM CT

man i did 6h of yard work yesterday and my neck and arms are so tanned already

DR99Member since Nov 2012Mar 25, 2015 12:58 PM CT

I used my Sun Joe Lawn Dethacher http://www.homedepot.com/p/Sun-Joe-14-in-11-Amp-Electric-Dethatcher-with-Collection-Bag-AJ800E/203308242good investment as it costs a guy to come out for like $75 for my small yard or a few bucks cheaper to rent a huge gas powered unit I don’t really need either. I also put down my first fertalizer of the season to get my lawn popping before everyone else on the block

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Mar 25, 2015 2:37 PM CT

the dethacher will definitely help your lawn. i like to start early with the yard before anyone else in the neighborhood.

most of the time when someone sees you that you are doing something in your yard, they gonna start too…so funny 😀

DR99Member since Nov 2012Mar 25, 2015 5:36 PM CT

I just can’t rake the lawn like I used to. My right shoulder just can’t handle it. Plus the the dethacher just does such a better job than I could ever do by hand!

chadlanthierMember since Mar 2013Mar 26, 2015 1:35 PM CT

Never heard of that before, the sunjoe raker before. I might have to check it out

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Mar 26, 2015 1:49 PM CT

Awwww I love doing the yard just did it this morn as U took the day off today feels good to get a tan back but my dang dog keeps digging holes every where in my grass so irritating when she does that and on the plus side I bought a carb and fuel tank off ebay for my blower changed the spark plug and she’s back to blowing…lol

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Mar 26, 2015 2:02 PM CT

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Mar 30, 2015 12:42 AM CT

Dewalt DWE575SB Circular Saw (or at least I aim to use it if it ever gets here on time!) Latest purchase from amazon and I’m excited like a kid. haha

I am so ready to cut some wood with an awesome power tool.
