Sorry but there's no easy way to ask this. I'm a 60 yo, unemployed newbie (and yes a single female too who has to do everything herself) to power equipment. Unfortunately when I find work I have to work even if it means putting in 60 - 70+ hours week. So with the weather here in NY being very condusive to the grass growing off the charts, and to help make my life just a little easier I figured, I have a brand new leaf blower. Why not use it. So instead of having to rake the grass cuttings, I can blow the grass cuttings into a pile and then take them away and dump in my back yard. So after mowing my lawn for 3 hours, being exhausted, and without thinking, I did the big no no, I picked up the wrong gas container totally fogetting the leaf blower needed to have the mix the same as the new chain saw I have. I've been told there's nothing to be done it can not be fixed.
If this is true, I'm wondering if there's anyway I can find someone who would be nice enough to sell me another new blower at the wholesale price instead of having to pay full retail again. As mentioned above, I am unemployed, any money earned pays bills and mortgage. I even collect refundable bottles and cans on a weekly basis for grocery money. I've been surviving for over 3 years now, working what ever jobs I can find. Weeding, working for the 2010 Census, a server for catering companies, working as security for the local county fairs, and yes, even collecting bottles and cans where ever I can find them. So if there's anyone in this community reading this that can help in any way to find someone with a good heart to help me in this situation, I would truly appreciate it.
