OT: Sort of, Mother of all Leaf Blowers

[Mark & Juanita]

Prior threads have dealt with using leaf blowers to clean out the shop or how noisy leaf blowers cause irritation. This should do more than a passable job of getting anything, up to and including small children out of the shop:

That is probably an 80 char limit on linelength, which I have seen on many feeds. I only recall seeing it applied to the headers, however, but that's memory for ya.

Google Groups seems to have anticipated the problem and rejoined the link. No problem - click > view.

I like the blower for cleaning out the garage, but where exactly am I supposed to blow the stuff in the shop? Plus, I doubt I could back that thing down the stairs - I know the truck wouldn't make it.

I'm afraid I can't solve *all* of the problems for you. You're probably going to have a problem backing the tractor down the steps too. ;-)
