How I'm spending my vacation.....

Here is how I am spending my 2 week vacation.







The swing set is for my daughter's birthday and the landscaping is for me. I still have about 4 yards of mulch to put out and 10 more lengths of steel edging and then I'll be done.

Heck of a way to spend your vacation huh?

Well... This is what I was going to be doing: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=149058

But as you can tell, It is about to burst into flames.

Oh yeah, my daughters birthday is tomorrow. I knew there was something else.

un hook all the wires from that 360 unit and blow out the dust man, they are borderline at keeping themselves cool, but toss in over a year of dust and pet hair, things get real hot, real fast. if you use a air line to do it, , be gentle, youare not trying to sandblast it, just dust it ! good job at getting rid of the pesky corners for mowing, nice sweeps with that edging., easy to cut lawn.

Thanks, I've got about a 20' X 20' area that I still have to do. It will be in the middle of the back yard with an entrance from the steps coming off of the back porch. I plan on having a fire pit and some nice lawn furniture under the large oak tree in the back yard. More pictures soon to follow.

As far as the XBOX goes, it is well ventilated, I even have a fan blowing on it all the time. But you are probably right with needing to blow it out to remove some dust. I’m not sure that is the problem though. I think it has just run its course. It’s almost 2 years old and has been played countless hours almost every day.

Man, I hate that you're having to work 40 hr weeks right now. I don't know how I could go back to that after working 24/48.

Okay...so I take back the comment in the other thread about you needing to get out more.

The play set looks nice (as does the landscaping). Oddly enough, I just recently finished re-landscaping our house and I am about to build a play set for my son (for his birthday).
