It's been mighty slow here so I thought I'd bore y'all with some pics.laugh Some shots of clearing and planting the garden, setting up my daughters pool, and swapping out an engine from a pressure washer my wife picked up for free (the previous owner let the pump freeze) into a walk behind weed eater that needed a spendy carb.

Totally agree kissass

Is that a skreed board pivoting around the center point for the pool? Nice job!

Beautiful job on that garden – what are you using for the fence and is it working?

I see #1 daughter and Mrs. Tinbender are happy, and that's a very good thing. wink

The fence is chain link with 2x4 green wire fence on top. It's between 7 and 8', enough to keep the deer looking at other stuff to eat.(neighbors gardens with lower fences) At the Rashneesh compound they had deer jumping 14' fences as there was nothing else to eat for miles around! This is a tough place to grow a garden. I had to run the sprinklers all night three nights ago when it got down to thirty yell, supposed to be in the mid eighties todayhmmm  First frost of fall can be anywhere from mid August 'till late October, just a crap shoot. One year it snowed on the Fourth of July.roflmao

           Now for a little research. Last night the weed eater with the Briggs

           engine started bogging down then revving back up almost like a vacuum

           leak. The air filter was plugged. Seems since this engine was on a pressure  

           washer the filter is made of foam, not expecting a dusty environment. Now

           to find or make a paper filter/housing that will fit.hmmm

The 6.5 HP B & S Chinese clone on my Harbor Freight plate compactor has a foam element and it gets a real dusting. Seems to work pretty good. FWIW.readin
