And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That hose will cause you more disappointment than you can imagine. To do it right you need at least 100 feet of 3/4" hose and a $300 reel. Ask me how I know. Cry once. (I have 2 and they each hold 150 feet of 3/4", one at each end of the house. We have a big yard.)
You said it! Not only is it too short, but the diameter won't deliver any kind of flow. AND, just to put a cherry on it, everything inside is made of cheap plastic and aluminum and will rot out and leak in the second season. Ask me how I know.... there are several brands of these, all from the same Chinee factory, and they are ALL crap. Do not buy.
I bought a hand cranked hose reel in a box for out front, I paid extra for kind that automatically lays the hose down in even layers as you crank. Every time I use it I remind myself that spending the extra money was worth it!

ReplyDeleteI have an idea. Let's take something really basic, overcomplicate it, give it multiple failure points, and charge several times the basic product.
