(Kind of like a seeder without the container.) You just push it over your lawn and driveway in a systematic manner and it picks up all the nails. I tried it in the store and it worked pretty good until the clerk gave me a dirty look for scattering nails on the floor.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-1136919905032942942006-01-10T13:05:00.000-06:002006-01-10T13:05:00.000-06:00Dave - Oh, my feet!

They fly everywhere. A year later, you're still finding nails.

I would just go buy a jug now and set it out on the patio. From reading Susan In St. Paul's comment, it IS going to happen... eventually.<BR/><BR/>While a young lad, a man working in the attic fell through the ceiling and landed on the floor not three feet from where I was sitting on the couch reading a book.

I guess he didn't want to splat out on the concrete patio below me.<BR/><BR/>He just missed my glass tables by inches, landed sprawled out in between them. He also splattered one of my chairs with a spray of paint as he fell, and I too thought better than blood, or impaled on glass from the tables.<BR/><BR/>I was on the phone talking to one of my brothers who asked what the thud was, I glanced outside saw him, and said "oh nothing, just one of the painter landing on the balcony. He missed the tables" and my brother went "WHAT???" <BR/><BR/>I offered to let him in so he could walk down the stairs, but no he wanted to go down on a ladder, silly man!<BR/><BR/>pknqevba-Perhaps knowing nothing quietly evolutonary.
