Home Repair and Remodelling or Landscape Project Equipment, when a chore becomes a project.
Small jobs and chores around the home or garden can be accomplished with hand tools or retail power tools. When your chore becomes a project, you should reach for the mechanical advantages of powered equipment. Increased power and tool cost increases risk concerns in smart people like you. With your safety and project completion in mind, let us see how, when, and where we could apply powered equipment to your plan. Read these hypothetical situations and solutions.
- You discover water leaking through your ceiling. When you climb the ladder to inspect the roof, you realize you will need to replace the roof. It is old and worn. Using ladders is difficult when carrying shingles, decking, and tools to the top of your house. It is time to find a scissor lift hire. With a scissor lift multiple people and materials can be elevated together, with little physical effort. This saves your energy for the work that matters.
- That old tree near your fence needs to be removed. It has been a wonderful shade and environment provider, but the time has come to remove it cautiously. The number of videos online showing people trimming trees on ladders only to be whipped out or have the ladder knocked from under them prompts me to hire a boom lift. You can safely cut each piece from the top to the bottom, letting it fall to the ground. If you hire someone to run your chainsaw they will appreciate the safety, speed, and ease of a lift.
- Once the tree is down there is a stump and roots to address. Would you rather use a shovel, a truck, six friends, and a week to remove it? One possible solution is to hire a stump grinder to turn a one-week job into a one-hour task.
- A telehandler with a work platform is ideal for siding or framing. Telehandlers allow open access to an elevated worksite. Other attachments such as hoists, cranes, or booms can offer more access for heavy lifting. Some properties don’t have soil that is backed enough to support heavier-powered equipment. The boom on the telehandler will help reach over those areas to the work site.
- When pouring concrete for your new shed or a patio, consistency is important. If you think mixing concrete by hand is a simple task you are right in one respect. The science of aggregates and fluid is simple. The physical effort of folding and rotating a heavy liquid rock substance into a smooth consistency is a job entirely for a machine. Prevent cracking, odd wear, and weathering. Get a mixer. Prevent injury and quality shortcuts. Hire a mixer.
Did you check under your property before breaking ground on even the smallest project? Be certain where all power, water, or gas lines are located. Call your municipality utility companies and request they mark lines as well. Don’t knock out power, flood your yard, or start your house on fire by being complacent. Don’t guess. Know.
