Not sure if we can afford it, but just ordered this ■■■■■ off of Amazon:
It’s that or drop dead of a heart attack on the front sidewalk. At least six inches of heavy snow overnight and it’s still snowing like a ■■■■■■■. Why oh WHY did we pick a place on a corner lot?
Jesus wept. And Mr. Squirrel, too.
Lol it looks like fun haha
Can your wife help? That does seem like a lot.
She is doing next shift, but the doctor told me to be as active as I can be, so I’m out there too. I think that the snowblower and cord management will be just right so I can cope with it on my own while she’s at work. We live next to a school and there is a LOT of foot traffic on our front walk. Can’t not maintain it and have a kid go down and get hurt.
Where we live, the city maintains the sidewalks. Seems kind of barbaric that they don’t do it for you as well. The flip side, of course, is that we don’t technically own the bottom fifteen feet of our yards.
Not disagreeing.
Heh. Neighbours came out to talk to wife, I missed them. Talk about a bonus.
I got a old green snowblower I fixed up, sadly it has a flat tire and the tire won’t come off
Tire won’t come off the rim or the rim is frozen onto the unit?
rim won’t come off the snowblower
You’ve tried a torch, a hammer, and a bad attitude?
Tried it all, got a puller thing now, going to try that
My man. This is why we love you. You don’t quit.
Come live in the UK, all we get here is rain.
Just passed 2.5 hours of snow shovelling so far today. MyFitnessPal says that’s 1800 calories.
It would help if the town plough would stop pushing snow back on the front sidewalk.
ASSHATS!
No snow here yet 
Most unkind, sir.
I will be eating my words by morning, snowfall warning here
I think a snow blower is a great idea. We’d need one if we still owned a house. In our community, though, the HOA fee is about $300 a month, but they plow and shovel sidewalks, rake leaves in the fall, keep everything mowed and landscaped nicely, maintain the pool/tennis courts/walking trails/basketball courts/ playground, repair siding and outdoor features (including painting doors and such), and even replace the roof or fix leaky roofs. It’s worth it, if you ask me. We live in a very nice little community. Every now and then, someone steals something like a bike from the community shed, but otherwise, it’s quite safe. We’ve only heard of one robbery the entire time we’ve been here (9 years).
Well, I finally had the misfortune of talking to our neighbour and he tells me the town does the front walk, but probably not until Tuesday. In the meantime there is a lot of foot traffic up and down the street and people are struggling with the non-cleared portions. I think we’re close to a foot of snow now. I don’t mind clearing the chunk by our place, but I do mind having to do 3x the work because of careless/ignorant plough drivers.
