shipped to me. Yeah, So now I'm waiting for that
first good little snow so I can get my battery
operated eighteen inch Okay, it's got a headlights on it.
It's got the little thrower where you can turn it sideways,
blow it to this, you know whatever.

So is this a two stage Well, yes it is. Ooh,
you're playing on big snow.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Not really. What if you're gonna I mean, if you
if you compare the cost to that compared to some
of the hand that the smaller handheld ones.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, I'm not a big fan of this one. I mean,
the handheld ones are great if you're going to do
your stoop right right, but if you're gonna do your drive.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
With their costs and you know, I'm doing a driveway
and a sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
And it's my mom's and I can use it in
other places now as well. And they're not it's not
that heavy. It's easy to put in the truck and
take it around. So, I mean, I can't wait to
fire that bad boy out.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
You'll love it. I told you mine was twenty six
years old, yeah, or is twenty six years old. And
last week we had about five inches on Saturday. Yeah,
and we you know, did the show Saturday, watched the
snow Sunday morning and it quit. But I was doing
the show. At twelve fifteen, I went out.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
And no removal crew showed up.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, they didn't make it this time. But you know,
and there's that turnaround up there and the long side
walking front of the house, and then up to the
thirty minutes, wow, thirty minutes, and I went, this is
you know, some years we never get to use it. Yeah,
but man, when you need one, there's nothing better.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You don't you know what's gonna happen now, don't Oh,
don't say that. What You're gonna look out the window
and I'll be out there through Oh okay, I thought
you'll be trying to mine out work anymore, waving, waving
using my new blower.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It is kind of like I'm gonna warn you, it's
kind of like a pressure washer. If it's warm enough
out there and you're comfortable and dressed properly, you don't
want to stop.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Give me another driveway, give me another one, give me
another sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh, they're out of town. I'll go do theirs. Well.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I prepped and everything this for this last one. I
did the didn't you saw by used the the icer
had it all down and everything, and it was amazing
how that really did help out?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, but I was. I was amazing five
five and a half inches and shoot it it was
a you know, it wasn't a real wet, heavy snow,
but that thing knocked it out with its proper guidance
by me of course.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Of course, and like halfas you were professional handling that.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
But then I got you know what I got when
I got inside? What are you ready, Kerry?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Are you sure you're done?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Are you done? Or ready? Yeah? So that was fast.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I was old for another forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Of She sounds a little sad that all.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, quietness that you would be outside?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yes, sir, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I do have a question for you. You do if
if you're looking at decking or what outside right now
that's already has some awe starting to grow on it, Uh,
wet and forget doesn't work in the colder temperatures. Correct, incorrect,
They do work at colder temperatures. Would you still spray
(04:21):
on a wet and forget this late in the season,
or would you use a just a quick clean?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, it's up to you. Either want to work. The
one thing I'd be a little bit concerned about on
decking right now is spraying that on and yet moss
gets slippery, right, Yes, so it's still going to sit
there for six six weeks, right, So that's almost like February, right,
so or past February, I mean, and so I don't know.
(04:51):
I'd probably throw some oxygen they bleach on there, and yeah,
scrub it and rinse it. You know, we're going to
be about fifty today. Day after Christmas is going to
be sixty.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
One on day of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I think it's gonna be let's take a big long hike.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Okay, why don't you walk over to my house, isn't.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I we'll scrub that deck down.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah, a couple of spots it has that, and it
stays slick all winter. Yeah, and I do use wed
and forget, but that just seems a bigger area.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Ron that's a different story. But you know, I mean,
you know where you got that landing and going out
the door, right man? You know thirty second clean or
something along those lines.
