Tackling the Barn with a Leaf Blower
Alternative Uses for a Leaf Blower
It’s Tackle it Tuesday.I tackled both of our barns with an electric leaf blower. We have an old wooden barn for our horses and large metal barn half enclosed for storage and half open for hay, tractor, etc.

No one has been in the barn for a month so it was gull of cob webs. I was using the broom to clean then had a light bulb moment and grabbed the leaf blower. It worked great and saved a lot of time and energy.
- “Dust” and “sweep” our storage barn. I have a lot of shelves full of boxes. The leaf blower “dusted” all the shelves, the top pf my freezer, and swept the floor much faster than a broom.
- “Beat” throw rugs. I took all the throw rugs outside and placed them over the fence to leaf blow the dust out of them.
- “Sweep” the patio. Blow away all the dirt our two giant dogs drag in daily. It worked so well I’m keeping the leaf blower inside my laundry room to “sweep” the patio daily.
- Drying off the car.
Blowing snow off the car.- Gutters.
- Too bad I can’t use it in my boys room
