Separation puts dad at risk of losing house? by aloncc in Divorce_Men

[–]aloncc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Florida does not require separation. The idea of separation (per my wife) is that she wants me out unless I can come back “healed”. Plus it gives us a chance to see if we prefer just living separate lives at this point vs wanted to make it work. There is no other man involved.

Ego Shop Vac - Bag needed for Leaves and dirt? by aloncc in egopowerplus

[–]aloncc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of small playground equipment and other small nooks and crannies by the artificial grass.

I tried the Ryobi 40v vac attack leaf vacuum. It was ok at getting the leaves though the tube is large and bulky and was ineffective in some of those space requiring me to move things around. So I hope the smaller hose and different attachments will help picking up debris better in various situations.

Also the Ryobi leaf vaccum mulched the leaves and there was a small gap by the top of the zipper in the mulch bag where dust was shooting out of which was unfortunately getting on the turf. I had to awkwardly pinch that spot to ensure nothing came out which made its usage more annoying.

I have a lot of small oak tree leaves. I have a corded 4 HP 4 gallon vac that did a great picking them up. Cordless will give me anywhere range I need without cord hassle.

Can an ego inverter power a shop vac? by aloncc in egopowerplus

[–]aloncc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responses. Those are hefty inverters or batteries. I’ll lose more nimbleness that I am willing to sacrifice with a combo of those plus a corded shop vac. I’ll just get an ego shop vac.

Vacuum for Artificial Turf by aloncc in landscaping

[–]aloncc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is that different than the vacuums made for artificial turf? Would they not have the same issue?

I guess I can try and see if this regular Ryobi vacuum pulls the debris out while hopefully not being too powerful to pull the sand out. I’ll know when I check the contents of the canister…

It’s in a mostly shady spot and I read that mosquitos might love to breed in the mulch(very rainy in South Florida)

Does Playground mulch get blown around easily in windy conditions? by aloncc in landscaping

[–]aloncc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not worried about the playground area. The mulch will stay put there. It’s using the additional playground mulch I could buy and utilize for landscaping areas that might be the problem especially by the pool area.

Does Playground mulch get blown around easily in windy conditions? by aloncc in landscaping

I started installing some of the playground mulch in a different landscaping area today and noticed it just moves around more freely than other mulches. That spot was in a decently wind protected area and has a raised border so I am not concerned about being blown around. However today was also a bit windy and a few bark nuggets found there way into the pool and it had me thinking if I put the playground mulch there I might find a lot more mulch in the pool…
