I think we did it Dale. I was out there for about 3 hours and I have already noticed a difference. GREAT IDEA. THe leaf blower burnt up so I went to fanning with the rake. Think maybe next time I will use the plastic one though. That steel rake gets heavy after about an hour. Hope those people up in Canada don't catch on and blow it back south. I hear we messed up the weather so bad they had an earthquake in Chile that is going to cause a Sunomi in Hawaii. Bet there will be some Waikiki surfers hangin' 10 on those monster waves. WE DID GOOD!!!
