irv Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Going to put a coat of wax on my son's summer wheels then put them away. I changed out his summer's for winters yesterday and got them all cleaned up. Saturday I will be doing the same with my wife's car. Over the past few weeks, I've done a brake job on my Ram's fronts, a brake job on my son's rears, washed, waxed, and detailed 3 vehicles, put the boat in storage, pulled the sleds out of storage, raked, blew, mulched numerous bags of leaves, did an oil change/service of my generator, and put things away for the upcoming winter. Things left to do: Clean out the gutters, pull out the snow blower and fire up, get furnace cleaned (today at 11) then hopefully unload the sleds and give them a bit of a going over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbor has a big red maple that hangs over my fence and they are always the last to come down for whatever reason? 70-80% are down now but I know I will likely be cleaning up/mulching leaves for another week or so yet? Even my front regular/green maple still has a few leaves on it but its nothing to worry about at this point. Using my mulching mower and collection bag does a great job as long as you don't wait too long in between mowings. With the amount that it mulches up, it sure makes the bags heavy as you can get way more in them, but it works great as it is also putting leaf dust/small bits back into the lawn which is good for it.

I do the same thing, chop/mulch 2 times then bag 'em, then I use the small mulched leaves to cover under ground drain tiles where they come out of my rain gutters and sump pump to prevent freezing, these tiles eventually go to more than 8 feet deep and 350 feet long, I also cover the 2 lids on my Septic tanks with mulched leaves.

I use a push mower. he'll run it with the mulcher blade then with the bag on. i'm to cheap to buy a tractor when i don;t have to do the mowing. 9 minutes ago, Cold War said: I got to get my kid up on the roof to clean out the valleys on roof.
