Trees excel at them.
Lets just say that the tree won.
On that note, I would highly recommend the Black and Decker Grass Hog for your light weed-eating needs. I wanted an electric trimmer for several reasons, but I was afraid that this thing would be too wimpy. It workes great and made short work of my…um…neglected yard. Just watch for low hanging branches when you are on your second or so hour of trimming.
I am tearing down my chimney. Saying it that way sends shudders down my spine. Thoughts of being smacked in the noggin by a stray piece of cinderblock certainly factors in my fear. Also on the list are:
This freaking thing runs through the center of my house from basement to roof.
I am going to have to tear out some walls to get to the thing.
I am going to have to learn to sheetrock.
It is going to be MESSY.
Can you say, “Hole in the roof?”
I wonder if there is GOLD in there somewhere…
I wonder if there is a dead (insert something dead and ooky here) in there somewhere…
Anyway, I am having AM (My roommates dad and the master of all things fixy come take a look at it this weekend to see if I am crazy for attempting this. He and a fellow I used to work with seem to think that this will be a hard job, but not a difficult job. Gobot seems to think otherwise. Of course, I think he is just mad he can’t stab the thing down.
