Tongue oil is a very handy thing to use. You can mix stain with it and achieve the exact degree of stain you want. Works really well. Cy, the Ancient Okie... -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Eden Sent: Thursday, August

Thanks, sounds like I will try to find someone to do it for me. My yard is about 9000 sq ft. So hopefully I don't get hit in the wallet to bad. Thanks, Mike -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of clifford Sent: Thursday, August

The aeration only goes about 1/2 inch into the ground, unless there is a sprinkler head there that they hit, you shouldn't have any problems. Jeff and Max in South Dakota! -Original Message- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Friday,

Hi Rae, Have you used it with masonry bits? and how did it do with them? Masonry bits are very differently shaped, no under-cut, and the carbide tipped ones are very hard. Just curious, big masonry bits are very expensive and they do grind badly when drilling. Thanks. Dale Leavens, Cochrane
