If you have light to moderate leaves then a mower is more than adequate to mulch them up and out of the way. If you have a lot of leaves then buy a billy goat leaf vac and make your life 1000% better

Or if you live in the Pacific Northwest where leaf season corresponds with rain season ... That just sucks.

My friend used to work in a biodynamic apple orchard where the owner refused to use tools to cut grass. So my friend had to lie on the ground and log roll himself over the grass to gently bend it down. In an orchard where they fertilized using jugs of their own urine and encouraged wasp hives for pollination. So maybe try raking your fingers through the grass to gently sort the leaves out. After all our bodies are really the ultimate tool right?

My local lowes has a bunch of drain snakes and augers on clearance. It kinda looked like they are switching suppliers to more kobalt branded stuff.

Presumably this will be a step up from their current M12 pruning saw. The timing is perfect, because I've been wanting to mount a small chainsaw on the front bumper of my van (not full time, just for special occasions). When I go camping early in the season, there are often many, many small trees fallen across the road from winter storms. On those roads, my forward progress, in miles per hour, is dominated by the time to unpack, use, and repack my full-size M18 chainsaw. But with this pruning saw mounted in a scabbard on my bumper, I can just jump out of the van and start severing limbs immediately.

Just mount it pointed forward and keep it running with a DC charger plugged into your car battery terminals. Bing bong don't even have to get out

 Either I'm missing something or this use is  I mean, I suppose you can use it that way if you know the negative offset and want to do math, but...

korora posted:See those marks near the thumb? Sure, but that's a vernier scale adjustment. It still doesn't explain why you'd not flip the whole thing over and use it with an offset at zero instead of what looks like -1" to place your mark.

Mark is being placed at 3" (assuming I am reading the grainy vernier correctly). It seems pretty clear. E: it's offset so the head can be thicc and you can measure without parallax (while keeping it cheaper by using a thinner blade overall).

The second floor of our house has a 240-volt socket for plugging in a heater. It also came with a heater that dates, by the look of it, no later than the 1950s. There is no central heating. I did a quick google and found out that 240-volt plug-in heaters are still made, but marketed as for garages. Is there anything I should watch out for? Are there known reliable brands?

There is no central heating. You can get an adapter that branches 240v into a couple of 120v if finding one is too big a pita. I shouldn't think there'd be a problem, though. 240v is going to provide twice as much current, typically, so I'd probably recommend trying to find one that works with that first.

deimos posted:Wut? Mark is being placed at 3" (assuming I am reading the grainy vernier correctly). It seems pretty clear. Reading the vernier is not what I'm wondering about. My point is that the mark being made by the pencil is -- and I'm admittedly assuming here -- some desired distance from the left edge of the board. If that's the case, then the unmarked or "less than zero" end of the ruler is being used... why? Or, put another way, what is the distance between the red arrows pointing at the edge of the board and the pencil mark being made? And if you can't tell, why use it this way instead of flipping the whole ruler on the X axis?

3". The vernier scale is offset from the face of the tool by the same distance the 0 is from the pencil mark.

Easy enough to check: move the first tick on the vernier to zero and see where the crossbar is relative to the end.
