Sprayer...

Sprayer...  Well, I just received the “tow-behind” lawn & garden sprayer I'd ordered – and it was basically a big box of parts (see photo at right).  I almost decided to refuse delivery, as the box was completely beat up, held together with about 20 rolls of tape, and all the (heavy steel) parts were just banging around loose inside.  But the UPS guy patiently waited while I opened the box, inventoried the contents, and decided that everything was there and unbroken – so I accepted it.  Right after he pulled out of the driveway, I discovered that there was something missing – the assembly directions!

What followed was something Debbie would have gotten a kick out of: it took me several trial assemblies and disassemblies before I finally figured out how the thing was supposed to go together.  At least I think I figured it out!  :)  At left is the finished sprayer.  I haven't had a chance to try it yet, as my mower has a flat tire that I'll be fixing later this afternoon, if the air compressor I ordered actually shows up...
