I have medical problems limiting just how much I can exert myself. This wasn't true when i initially bought the home.
Raking leaves, is a 3-5 times event that could take me about 16 hours (an entire weekend) each time.
Blowing the leaves takes about 5-6 hours.
I had an electric blower for a long time and honestly, it only shaved off maybe a 10th of my time b/c it simply wasn't strong enough.
I recycle, i drive a hybrid, i compost and garden, i have an electric mower.
But for some people who spout endlessly about "externalizes", it's like there's no end to minimizing my foot print until i just up and commit suicide. You all sit back with your high and mighty judgements and half of you are just kids who've never been responsible for anything but yourselves, or dorky urbanites who have half a putting green for a yard in high crime areas. Or hell..both things at once.
i have one. It works about a 1/4 as well as a gas one.
Using a rake takes me 2 days to rake my yard. (about 16 hours)
An electric blower, 1.5 days (roughly 10-12 hours)
A gas blower takes me about 4 hours.
I have 2 medical conditions going on right now and can't pay someone $200 every single time i need my yard picked up. I spend enough in medical bills right now.
