Time to go and buy a snow blower... my back is killing me today from shovelling last night! Our old driveway was almost 300-feet long. We use to shovel it by hand with no problem. The new driveway is only 30-feet long but it has 6-foot high retaining walls on both sides. Trying to throw the snow up over the wall was brutal! And it was so heavy!!

Everyone keeps saying..wait until after xmas to buy anything as it will be drastically reduced. I don't think my back can wait that long  . Plus B&C had back surgery last winter and being the stubborn Scot that she is, insists on helping out with the shovelling! Can't have 2 of us ending up in wheelchairs  |

Yes, I used to tease my husband and ask when he was going to paint lines
Was a real pain when they all still lived at home & had cars as you can not park on the street from November to April
I will be adding another car...well big azz pick up as my daughter in laws sister is getting out of the coast guard next week after 8 years..why she's leaving now when there aren't any jobs out there is beyond me...
Son & DIL live down the street and their driveway only accomodates their two cars...so sister will have to park in my driveway and walk back& forth..very short walk
She's staying with them until she figures out what she's doing..I have a feeling she'll be at my house as well...lol |
