171: My Favorite Rake
Home Repair Tutor
11/08/15 • 5 min
It has saved me hours.
Here’s an Amazon link for you to check it out
I don’t care if you use the Amazon link or not, just wanted to give you some way to see the rake.
Plus, one of my fans is planting tulips and gave me this great idea:
...use a plant auger.
You can attach it to your drill and drill holes in the ground without bending over.
Cool.
Here’s the link to that nifty tool
Again, just wanted to you to have the reference, don’t care if you use the link to buy
Hope you have a great day, I’ll talk with you tomorrow...remember the podcast is pretty much every day at this point.
And if I go on vacation you can always listen to the other 169 shows.
