Do you have anything bigger?

Dead leaves are the disease and I’ve got the cure!
Yardman blower, vacuum, and mulcher

I bought this Yardman several years ago at Costco. It’s a blower, vacuum, mulcher, and missile launcher. It’s huge. The nozzle is so big, I could easily use the Yardman to suck up the kids’ toys off the living room carpet. Unfortunately, the mulcher blades would probably grind the toys into itty bitty pieces (is this really a bad thing?). For yard work, I’m not liking the Yardman. It jams when you vacuum too many leaves. I can use it as a blower, but the kids hate it when I blow the leaves at them.

    I totally need something like that right now. My yard is full of leaves, poop and toys.

  2. I would totally use that to pick up toys! Great picture of the little girl. Hehehe on blowing leaves at the kids. Secretly I’ll bet they love it :)

    That’s a great shot!! But yeah I would keep it away from the poop. Sort of like hitting the fan, you know. heh.

    Happy WW!

    Wow! That’s got to be the biggest leaf blower I’ve ever seen. Even the pros don’t have them that big! you can use it to suction up the dog!

    Goodness! That is a big leaf blower! I bet the kiddos do get a kick out of having leaves blown at them.

    Now that is just awesomeness.

    It’s wonderful that they like to help out. Of course, by the time they’re old enough to do it effectively, you won’t be able to get them near it. LOL

    I was completely expecting you to add an impression of Tim Taylor’s “Home Improvement” “ARH, ARH, ARH” after all that! :-)

    what a cute hoot!!! in oklahoma, we have tremendous need for a leaf blower that big.

  11. Hee hee, my hubby won’t use our blower. He said it was too hard to control. I learned that if I blow everything to the lawn then I can just mow over instead of pick it up. :) On tree trimming day I get to thinking how much I’d like a chipper.

    Hugs,

    My grandkids made big messes until I made this toy cabinet that gets them to put a toy back before they can get the next one.

    Check out this video.

    The kids learn to keep their rooms neat really quickly. I like the creative things we can do once we start to look at things from the kids point of view.

    I bought one of those for our last property, as we had a huge Walnut tree that dropped leaves EVERYWHERE… now we have no trees. You can have mine too if ya want it!

    I don’t have a tree in my yard but I totally need to get one of those. That thing looks like the best toy ever.
