I wasn't so sure I wanted to use anything that looked as lethal as that. I was envisioning my fingers being cut off or my hand or my foot. Don't they make scary movies with machines like this?
You know what? Once you got over the fear of it, it's really wonderful. You could get the hedge trimmed in half the time and more smoothly. It was like giving a crew cut with an electric trimmer!
Too bad we don't have a hedge in Hawaii. I wouldn't mind getting one for ourselves...except...
Well, yard work is my mother's domain and she really doesn't like for us to encroach on what she considers her area of expertise. Ah well... I'm certainly not complaining.
I agree, they're great!
ReplyDeleteYou are a better hedge trimmer than David. If you want to cut ours, come on over! lol.
ReplyDelete"Kay and Art's Home Repair and Landscaping" -- looks great! You could travel the world with your talents! Although hedge trimmers can cut the electric cord and get jammed in chain link fence, they are nice for sculpting hedges. You may be worried more about the evils and dangers of chain saws. DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteNice job! I haven't heard of any slasher movies made with a hedge trimmer, so I think you are safe. :-)
ReplyDeleteKay, I've used one of those "monster" tools before and it does cut the work time in half!! Great job on the hedges.
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job with the trimmer. Which reminds me.....
ReplyDeleteDianne
you look so happy trimming, perhaps you should have been a hair stylist? lol...
ReplyDeleteHello Kay,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work done like a professional. You have a great talent. I will not go near a dangerous too like that.
Best wishes,
Joseph
You're right about tools and the lethalness of it. I have horror stories about my dad who in his ripe old age still insists on using power tools. The yard is his domain too (I guess this becomes true as we age) and why I refuse to take a good hard look at his projects. Shiver....
ReplyDeleteL.
Yes, I'd be a little scared of that too. But finished it looks great. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteyou're inspiring with the hedge trimmer, maybe I could do that too! It looks so dangerous.
ReplyDeleteNice work! You know how trim things up, that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh as I pictured "The Texas Hedge-Trimmer Massacre"!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
Lookin' good!
ReplyDeletemorning Kay!
ReplyDeleteyes yes! looking at the picture, it reminds me a scary movie right away actually!!!
by the way we don't celebrate Halloween here. we just enjoy the atomosphere? like that.
when I went to Hawaii, I saw the parade for Halloween. it was very fun!
That looks like a tool I would tend to avoid also, but from the pics of the results it looks like you are a pro.
ReplyDeleteDon't mess with mom!
