      Just a suggestion. It can be hard but worth it. Ignore the nasty and just pay attention to the nice and helpful ones. Those nasties live to be nasty and now they know it really gets to you, they will keep it up. Like I say, it's just a suggestion. Don't fuel the fire. Good luck. I know it is very old.

      You’re exactly right…people just need to be kind and encouraging…sadly though there will always be those who only know how to bark and spew negativity. Don’t let those folks live rent free in your mind, they aren’t worth it. Keep building your dream.

    I was raised by the old adage “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all”. Advice is one thing but the world is so full of bitterness these days. Just keep going and be happy with your BIG framily 👋🥰🇨🇦😉

      I don't think anyone should criticize without offering an alternative, criticism then walking away is like bullying. I don't think some people understand that these clips are edited and don't contain every "fact of the matter". Let's assume that most of what your noticing in the moment may have already dawned on them.
      If I can offer constructive comments I'll try to explain why and offer a better solution...like some have already done.
      These aren't the neighbor next door. Their doing "on the job" training. Real time schooling.
      It's like I tell unsolicited critics, "I don't need another parent"

    Mike please try the head I sent you. 3 strings double up like the plastic piece you have. Plus. 105 string you can use. You won't regret it. Just cut the string, put them in your pocket and go. ❤

  • @MelissaMalzahn
    @MelissaMalzahn Před měsícem +11

    Michael work smarter not harder. The blades are for little trees, the strings are for grass. Took you to much wasted time trimming. Its nice you have the equipment but use it correctly and take care of it. I dont understand why tools just get dropped and not put away.

  • @tamarasmith3624
    @tamarasmith3624 Před měsícem +2

    I have found that the string trimmer works faster in grass and the blade is better with vines and woody weeds. Cleaning and organizing makes the rest of the work easier once everything is in its place.

    We use the green string for electric weed eaters for my craftsman. I think it braided or twisted? It cuts a lot better than smooth string. That blade looks like it's taking double the time. All that wood. Too bad you don't have a wood stove for heat. It just seems like such a waste. :( My daughter has to buy it because she doesn't have it on the 3 acres she is on and my place is 6 acres but it's all cedars. Yes, we do cut them for fence posts and for burning in her wood stove but cedar has to sit for at least 2 years.
