Has anyone done this?

What Matthew said! Isn't that what the big doors on the <s>garage</s>, uhh shop are supposed to be used for?

Double ditto what Matthew said. I keep forgetting that thing is a leaf blower. I've never blown leaves with it, but I've also never swept the garage since I got it!

Not so useful in my basement shop, though.

Regards,
Tom

The only caveat to Matthew's method is to make sure of the wind direction before opening the cleaning hatch.
