We got a boatload of snow last night. Thankfully, I got a snow-blower, which was a tough decision. My Dad grew up on a farm with a farmer's worth ethic. His motto was, "Why would I need snow blower when I have three boys and a daughter who doesn't help much around the house?" Until now, I've lived the same motto, shoveling my driveway, even though I only have one son.
My wife explained that it seemed that everytime I traveled in the winter, it would snow and she would be stuck shoveling the driveway. My wife also tends to have a bad memory. This fall, I broke down and bought a snow-blower. Used. From Jeff's neighbor for $75. With today's snowfall, I was pretty happy with my decision.
I use a Yooper Scooper (http://www.silverbear.biz/index.html) and 3 sons to do my shoveling faster than my neighbor with the snowblower.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the Yooper Scooper is about the same price as your used snowblower.
I saw a neighbor using one of those things and figured that it's either genius or the equivalent of an electric lawn mower.
ReplyDeleteI vote "genius." Come on over and I'll let you use it on my driveway.
