Had to prune the bushes but did not remember till after it was dark, so I tidied up the shed instead (wayyyy overdue). As I was finishing I spotted my laser level and thought :hmm:
I set it up and off I went with the secateurs, talk about easy! Just cut off the red bits, no heat, no flies - no worries! :thumbup1:
First time I have ever enjoyed the job and it looks like it was sliced with a big knife, poifect. :D

Hmm, sounds like something I should consider when pruning my two grevilleas, Groggy.
maybe I went a bit too far with this one?? :?

Groggy,
That sounds like something I'd do! (If I'd thought of it.) Absolutely the wrong way to prune bushes, of course, but gets the job done and good enough for me. Onya. :2tsup:

Sorry, wasn't having a shot at your spelling, just your choice of tools....
Secateurs are a dark side tool... :D

Secateurs are a dark side tool... :DSecateurs are held in one hand whereas hedge shears are two handed. I used to have one of those electric swordfish things but it was a POS and got returned :rolleyes: .

Has the neighbour over the road contacted you about the aliens shining a red light in their window the other night???

Nope, in fact, haven't seen the neighbour since the crosshair of the laser hit his window :wink:

pull the batteries out of the laser, wire it up so you can plug it into the wall, and throw the secateurs away as your turbo powered laser does its own cutting ;)
