I’m a mechanical product designer and I was starting to sketch out what you’d need to do this. Great insight!
This has really already been solved already though, I think it’s a question of price. 5 seconds of amazon research shows that most leaf blowers are under $200 (ex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FZ2JL2K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lErVDbNC0ZM4S )while one with a well tuned engine and a catalytic converter is about $500 (ex: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005C7GQKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OCrVDb2D5W679 ). Not sure if the pricey one is harder on the environment than the electric one, probably a tossup and will depend on the supply chain.
I think what we need is an environmental score for stuff that people can trust and understand. This stuff gets complex and there isn’t a lot of transparency.
Okay, this guy on Youtube puts Apple prices on the things he makes, more power to other people's wallet. You can make your own. Some items you will have to order, some items like the adapter can be found at your local hardware stores.
$15 wand Throw away type, it breaks toss it, still better than the stock wand.
$35 Wand These are serviceable, internal parts can be replaced. The stainless versions can get into $$$.
$65 Stainless Wand
$35 swivel I have two of these, one at the pressure washer outlet and the hose end, the one at the pressure washer started leaking, pricey doesn't mean better all the time.
$15 swivel I'll put these on the wand itself.
Better quick connecters Really a must buy for swaping out accessories even with cold or wet hands.
Adapters
Pipe thread tape This is thicker and better than the white tape.

Or you could just buy a brush torch off Amazon for $28...
TRENTON Portable Propane Weed Ice Torch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KBQYFFS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NwYLBbW37B5Z5
I would imagine if its cheap, it's probably electric (normally less than 2000 PSI). Basically all power washers uses a 1/4" connector at the end, but most electric ones come with the revolver-style nozzles. Those work ok, but I've found that the individual ones work better. Here are some I found on Amazon for $6.99 (Prime). I don't own these, but the reviews/questions say that they should work for most standard power washers. They have the same 5 tips that the image has above. You may want to give these a try.
Oh, yeah I can see how the image is confusing, but the tall grass is behind the charging station for the mower and doesn't get cut. Although it is the same type of grass as where the mower has cut.
The range is limited, although I imagine as battery technology improves so will the range. This one can do 0.8 acres, which is decent. I've seen larger models as well which might be able to do more acreage. This one claims to do 4.9 acres, although I found a price of $12800 which is pretty steep.

Micro fiber rags/towel can be had at AutoZone or O'Reilly's. I suggest getting a pack with multiple colors and dedicate a color to windows, front of the car, above the belt line and below the belt line. Then a big microfiber drying towel or two. Somewhere around $20 for all that depending on where you go.
Also check out r/harborfreight for a coupon. 20% are pretty common.
That's what I used, it was a little rough trying to control my drill while I was running it over the blade. I feel like it did pretty good, but then I did a second pass with one of these to get it razor sharp: Smith's 50603 Mower Blade Sharpener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VTO5N2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Jj6-Ab31GKD3A
You're gonna splash the drywall a little (which should have cove base on it and be painted to protect against water to a degree). It'll dry. Not gonna hurt it.
Or use a floor scrubber attachment. They're $45 at Walmart. Damn things are AMAZING.
Let me add some opinion as well. I've been using an Ace 350 and an AT Pro for a year, but under 400 I would definitely recommend the Ace 400 which is the AT Pro minus the waterproof aspect. Get something with a digital readout, it makes everything a lot easier. That's just the Garrett side of things, a colleague uses a Fisher F22 and it's a hell of a machine, especially for the price. The only reason I went with an AT Pro over something else was that I love detecting in water and the AT Pro is the only waterproof detector that is reasonably priced for beginners.

Edit 2: OP you are getting way more of a hard time here than I think is justified. You can do this for <$250 per costume, with a battery and charger for each. Read on:
From your comments it sounds like you need a ~480 Watt-hour pack. That's not going to be small or cheap any way you slice it. What's your budget here?
Forget about common cells like 18650s or AAs of any variety. I think your best bet is to buy some monster LiPo packs from HobbyKing. About the best and easiest source for most common hobby lipo needs.
Here is a battery that just about gets you there - 444 Watt-hr. At 5 pounds it's a bit of a brick, but it will certainly last you a day. Hopefully you don't need it ASAP because lithium battery shipping regulations are a clusterfuck right now in China. You can certainly find one locally if you look, it may just cost you more.
1-4 packs depending on size, plus a good buck/boost converter and you'll be sitting pretty. Charging those packs overnight is doable but you'll need a pretty beefy charger. Wall-warts won't work here. Charging it overnight (call it 8 hours) at a 0.125C rate will require a 60 Watt charger. These ubiquitous chargers top out at 50 Watts so you'll need an extra hour or 2. 10 hours should do it. That's for one pack, if you have multiple you'll either need to get up in the middle of the night to swap them, or get additional chargers.
Be extra, extra careful using a pack like this. There is no internal protection and it is rated for a 20C discharge - that's 400 Amps at ~22.2V. That's a bona fide welder, no shit. I had a stupid moment and forgot to cut the leads on a 1 cell 600mAh pack independently (shorted them during cutting) and that was a nice spark show. This battery provides about 200x more pants-shitting. If you've never experienced 10 kiloWatts of electricity turning the leads you're holding into incandescent sprays of molten slag, you haven't lived. It would be very dramatic.
And do protect with something rigid if you're wearing it, lest you fall on something hard and do an inadvertent impression of those flame troopers exploding in Saving Private Ryan. Protection or no, don't put it in something you can't take off in less than a few seconds. Seriously.
EDIT: Just wanted to voice my disagreement with some of the other comments you're getting. What you're asking is entirely do-able for a reasonable cost ($200-$300 total). It's just that the solution is pretty gnarly. But no you certainly don't need to carry around 4 car batteries. If you don't mind carrying a 5 pound battery around then the one I linked will serve you well. Yes it's ridiculous but hell it's your costume, let your blindingly bright crazy-flag fly. ;)
I recommend something a bit smaller then what I am using in the video. I use this surface cleaner professional and it requires 4000 psi and 3.5gpm.
https://smile.amazon.com/Generac-6132-Pressure-Surface-Cleaner/dp/B00RHXFZIA/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?s=lawn-garden&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483583070&amp;sr=1-1-fkmr2&amp;keywords=3100+2.4+surface+cleaner
I have the Dewalt 20V chainsaw with an Oregon 14" bar for use around the house. I've taken down 10" dbh trees with no trouble. Usually takes almost a whole battery if I buck and limb it, but I have extra batteries. What sold me on it was reviews of professional arborists saying they use it for their climbing saws.
I'd say it's just as powerful as a gas saw of that size. Not sure what it would do in a bad pinch or dirty cuts, but I haven't had any trouble with it.
I'd like to try the 60V version with the big batteries but can't justify it for what I do around here.
This is what I use and I'm the most handsome guy in town

I think your top ones in that budget (depending if you get one on sale, and if you need leftover for a digging tool, finds bag, and pinpointer.) would be the F11/22, Ace 150/200/250, tesoro compadre, and I think the minelab gofind detectors are getting good reviews, but I'm not sure if those are kid sized or full size.

Does your paypal card have a mastercard logo? I think kellyco takes paypal, ebay takes paypal, bass pro and cabelas... Many stores take paypal.
Hey guys I'm about to buy my first pressure washer and I just wanted to make sure I got all the parts correct.
Extension Hose
Washer Gun
M22-14mm Male to M22-15mm Female Adapter
M22-14mm to 3/8' Quick Connect Plug
two M22-14mm male ends to 3/8' Quick Connect Couplers
3/8' Quick Connect Plug
1/4' Quick Connect Coupler
I followed a guide I saw here on this subreddit but mainly wanted to see if I still needed the M22-14mm to M22-15mm adapter since I'm using a Sun Joe extension hose and not buying a 50ft hose. Also wanted to see if that adapter is correct one.
Thank you very much
This 400W on Amazon is priced really well. I follow a skoolie on Instagram that has it and likes it.
I've considered getting one for rainy days but have other things to spend money on right now.
Looks like they're higher wattage than they used to be. Might be time for us to upgrade.
Ours is pretty compact. This one might be larger.

Something I didn't mention was a good GPS. I have a Garmin Montana but a couple of years ago a guy came up with Lifetime Trailmaps for tablets. He does a great job marking trails. User data can be used to update the maps as well.
I used a cheap Amazon product twice. I have destroyed both. They are not sealed motors and they suck up all the dust from the trails and will eventually kill the motor. I have the Worxs Hydroshot 40V and it does work well but I don't take it on the trail with me.
What about running a little 12V water pump?
You can use it to apply soap, then light brushing and use it to rinse.
Something like this comes as a package
Electric Car Washer,EFORCAR High Pressure Car Washer Pump,12V 80W Electric Washer Pump Car Washer Device for Auto,Pet, Window,Watering and Camping https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B077NXT1X8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ikoVCb128K7HX
They totally make using a nozzle like a joke.
This one does well... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQI37VA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_oe63BbY6N52CD
I highly suggest The ACE 200 as it has a good deal right now, but it is great for beginners and has a 4.5/5 rating. If you want a pinpointer however, they are expensive. The Garett Pro Pointer is another 4.5/5, but it is expensive, and almost more than the detector itself. Luckily it comes with a bag you can put all of your findings in, that is backed by amazon. Everything really depends on your price range.
Edit: The pinpointer is fully submergable in water and lasts on AA batteries, as does the metal detector.
I have one of these for setting my burn pile on fire
It works as well as the Musk one.
I've heard they're pretty awesome. Just another job you don't have to do. Heard they mimic a grazing animal... so it can't handle just going out and mowing a big yard full of tall grass, but instead is out often and constantly mowing.
But at $2700 that's a bit expensive for robo-mowing.
wait you are a professional groundskeeper and you are asking us advice?
First you need to get a business license .. depending on where you live it will be the city or county. where i live if i work in the county but go into town limits i need a town business license too. There are no checks except the one you write.. probably about $50-75
&#x200B;
Next you go to a third party insurance agency and tell them you are doing lawncare and they will sell you 300k of liability insurance.. about $400 a year .. you are going to eventually weed wack or run over or do something to something and you need the insurance.. don't start your business without one you are not 14 years old .. and for small things you do it out of pocket.. hit their screened in veranda with your weed wacker .. you replace the screen.. put a pebble through their sliding glass door .. or hit their AC outside unit .. could be a couple thousand or a couple hundred who knows but you are going to need insurance.
&#x200B;
Lawnmower, weedwacker, blower, chainsaw, bush trimmer .. you buy the cheapest ones you can find for your first set.. when you make enough you replace them but you keep your cheapass ones for backups.. you can't be without any of those basic tools.
&#x200B;
Look for factory reconditioned .. poulan pro people blah about them but husqvarna makes poulan pro.. the only difference is that poulan pro tools are normally heavier but they are dam good tools for the price i have a green blower and green chainsaw as my secondary tools and they don't let me down if i get the choke right when i start them.. thats the only problem i have with them the chokes kinda blow then they can flood and you got to wait a bit.
Ebay AmazonWarehouse HomeDepot all sell recon versions but i think HD you have to order online and pickup .. or maybe special order desk can order.. you still get a warranty but you pay 30% off or more and basically get a new tool.
&#x200B;
Mower you have to size for the property you are cutting and your ability to push it.. I have a small 30" rider mower and that normally lets me cut a small yard.. its a retirement community so the lots should be small .. corners i do have to do a lot of wacking i wouldn't with a push mower but in 3rd gear i can get the yard done in 20% of the time pushing would take.. i like craftsman rear engine riders they seem to be balanced right for my work. they are hard to find use but $500 on craigslist with a bagger isn't out of the ordinary vs $2500 for a zero turn generic pos that isn't really a commercial version mower... its not a big choice to make for me $500 and change the belts and you got a mower that will last a few years. Ive had mine about 7 years.
&#x200B;
advertise by word of mouth .. if you are in a hoa community understand the rules before you go knocking on doors.. magnetic sign on your truck and a pay as you go cell phone for work not your home or they will know where you live.
&#x200B;
Don't underprice yourself but give deals..

You can purchase it from Amazon. Installation for another $300 or you can install it yourself.

Mine is a little different, but that blue tip sucks. It meant to be used with the soap attachment, but I have foam cannon that I use. I’ve used the yellow one on my car from a distance since it’s a 15° tip so I bought these: [https://www.amazon.com/Obecome-Pressure-Multiple-Degrees-Washer/dp/B01B6388B2/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=obecome+pressure+multiple+degrees+washer+spray+nozzle+tips+5-pack&amp;qid=1557535994&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=obecome+p&amp;sr=8-1-fkmrnull]()
IDK, i hate having to buy even that little bit of extra plastic even tho its recyclable, but i never had much luck with any i mixed myself, but yeah i did wind up using the rest for laundry. Even the bottled terro liquid was kind of a mess.
Now if we wanna talk novel insect control, i gotta pick up some nematodes soon for fleas. We didnt have any fleas two years ago, and we had such a cold winter im not too worried, but last year we got em real bad so better safe than sorry. It was probably somewhere in the neighborhood, but i never could figure it out from inspections after different routes, but i can at least make sure ours and the neighbors yards dont get fleas.

Tune the carb and it will run better. You will probably need the [splined carb adjustment tool] (https://www.amazon.com/Carburetor-Adjusting-Craftsman-Adjustment-530035560/dp/B00YZ4ZP84)
I've been trying to figure out how to make something like this (below) but I doubt I'll be able to.

Hello fellow cheesehead!
I agree with the others here that a sprinkler is not where you should start. I made a conscious effort last year to monitor rainfall totals and used a sprinkler whenever there was less than 1" of rain per week. It helped keep my lawn a bit greener than the neighbors who didn't water, but not a huge difference.
If you're just getting started, I would recommend some other purchases first:
Other than that, my only other piece of advice is to not neglect pre-emergent and grub preventer. Pre-emergent has saved me a ton of weeding and the one year I didn't use grub preventer I lost a sizable patch of lawn near my mailbox to grubs, which now I need to seed this spring.
Good luck with the lawn this year!
I was thinking one of these

Which battery/charger would you get?
I bought and use one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/GreenWorks-20362-10-Inch-Cordless-Chainsaw/dp/B00LK2MGEA
It works great! I can easily cut 3-4 days worth of wood (not building bonfires or anything, though) before the battery runs out. I sharpen the blade before each trip.
The only problem is that the oil reservoir is kind of leaky. I transport it inside a garbage bag, and don't put oil in until I arrive at my site.
