I bought a Worx leaf mulcher to help clean leaves off my yard
It's that time of the season again. I purchased this Worx leaf mulcher to cut down on how many bags I was having to use when clearing yard debris. This was a great investment and helped save me time and effort in leaning up my yard.
Links to the Worx mulcher as well as the other tools that I used in this video.

Replace an old downspout | Protect your foundation and mulch beds
Переглядів 1,5 тис.5 місяців тому
First time for me attempting to do work on my downspouts, if yours need repairing save some money and do this yourself.

It was annoying to have to rake it and it always worried me having that much water pool so close to the foundation. I found a solution...
