thanks... any day I get up and it's my face staring back it's a good day.. first time some other S.O.B stares back ...I know I'm in deep trouble!

I've been sharing my sears snow blower with the neighbor for selfish reasons, as a guy that makes a living buying and flipping cars at auction; he is very good at keep that puppy lubbed, oil changed and last night I came home to test out the impeller retrofit. Being the anal guy he is of course, he doubled up on the rubber, no self tappers, bolts and nylon nuts, slotted attachments so the rubber can be moved as it wears and cut and shaped perfectly. The Utube 15 minute job was a 3 hour one for him and OMG what a difference. Came home to find the usual plow job in front of the 3 car wide frontage on drive and what I normally would throw into the middle of the road, now goes clear over both lanes so I don't have to do the street too. I think it will also mean the end of snow, because that is usually what happens after a retro to address it, but that will work too; I'm so tired.

Braces on both knees and been on the ladder for 6 hours raking snow off roofs. This DOES suck.

we passed "sucks" a long time ago... BE CAREFUL ON THAT LADDER....

Same here. :(

LOL Still can't find my damn roof rake. Things buried under 4 ft of white stuff. My luck when the metal roof clears I'm gonna be right under it LOL

I was able to get two 50 lb bags of cc today. That brings me close to 400 lbs of the stuff. Ice dams are brutal, but the chipping hammer and calcium chloride will at least allow me to release the water pressure building up behind the dams. Mt brother just called asking what the tallest ladder I had, as he has a dam on his third floor level. My 32' is exactly where it should be.... buried under 8 feet of snow. If I can't reach it with my single 16 footer, I am not going up. Told him to keep blasting one side of the dam with cc to relieve the water pressure. Other stuff that happened today is just too stoopid to type.... With the temps plummeting tomorrow, I am taking a day off from snow issues. Get to stay inside doing punchlist and smoke detectors for a client home that is being sold...

my nerhew came and raked the roof last week, not that you can tell today! so i am asking him to come do it again sat. before the rain on sun. also need a path to the oil tank! wish i had a gauge in the house to see how much oil i have.

Will do Joe. Actually rode the ladder down yesterday. It just slid off the roof sideways. Luckily I landed in 5' of snow.:wavey:

finally got roof cleaned off yesterday at dark . Now I have the problem of 6' of snow up against the house from storms and roof snow. So now I need to get the frozen down spouts off and go buy new ones so I can get the gutters to flow because if not the rain will run off roof and down the snow banks against the house and fill the window wells and then the cellar. Been there done that.

If it rains tomorrow,like they forecast, and then everything freezes back up, its going to be a real mess.
