the front entrance and, one lawn mower "Blue Monster" (wore plumb
out the second day, SC thinks it is a bull dozer), one 18" chain
saw "Old Reliable" (gonna need a new chain for sure), a string
cord trimmer with a saw blade attachment (on it's second blade, a
small tool in the hands of a big man performs miracles), one
grubbing hoe (nearly worn out by Richard digging out Mesquite
bushes), various prunning shears and trimmers, a shovel, hoe and
rake.
