Once again, Klondike proved useful during a small home project.  The project was to use an air compressor and a special attachment to blow lint out of the dryer vent (you insert a hose with an air nozzle on the end that blows back towards you).  The tractor was a great help in serving as a working platform to hold the compressor.

I loaded the compressor into the bucket, so that I could raise the compressor, to have it nearby while blowing out the vent IMG_5493.JPG (391502 bytes) Everything in place, ready to blow out the vent IMG_5495.JPG (356703 bytes)

I've been working at clearing an area where I'll build a swing set for Lucy.  The spot is at the edge of the mowed area of the back yard, and was mainly sticker bushes and some Hawthorn trees.  So I figured it would make a good spot for a swing set once I removed the trees and bushes, and leveled the site.  Klondike has proven to be invaluable in this project.

I've been using the tractor and a log chain to pull out brush and stumps. Two good-sized Hawthorn stumps that I just pulled, ready for the brush pile by the fire circle
These were monsters, but came out without too much trouble after I broke through a few of the roots on the side (also with the chain) The site, which used to be a heavy thicket of Hawthorn
