What type of equipment are you using for snow removal?

I need to get another Snow Shovel/Pusher...Do I get ergonomic, steel, aluminum, Plastic, Snow Wovel...what's your opinion.

 

The kid down the Street has his Dads big Ariens Snow blower. He wants $15 to clear my driveway and walk. I always give him $25 & and 1 or 2 hot chocolates. What a great kid, I literally have to force him to take the $$.

 

Do what I did, pack up and move south, sick and tired of the snow. If that's not an option, by a snow blower, more money, less time, aches and pains.

 

I am from the south, I married someone from New Jersey when I was stationed in Fort Dix for three years.

 

Grew up and lived in the NY/NJ area forever. After a serious knee injury and surgery and a few BAD!! winters I knew it was time for a CHANGE. So we relocated to the Research Triangle area In North Carolina. How long have you been in Jersey?

 

I was at Fort Dix from 95-98...married my second wife...then I got stationed at NROTC, SUNY Maritime College, Bronx, NY from 98 until I retired in 03. I moved to Jersey City ever since.

I'm from Columbia, South Carolina.

 

wit the monthly maintaincen fee i paid in my condo..i dun have ot shovel...

i used ot do it n dun mis it at alll...

 

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Didn't your dad tell you?

 

I married a Jersey girl when I was in the service. Of course, I was stationed in Idaho, and met her in Alexandria Va. Long story, short courtship. No, we had our first child after almost 4 years of marriage.

And I've lived here for 26 years, and grew up in Ct.

So I am used to snow, although I could REALLY do with less next year.

 

I attended the Univ. of South Carolina in Columbia, and have family there.

 

I will never retire in Columbia...My mother is there, My EX, 22 YR Old Son, 21 YR Old Daughter and the rest of my Dad's family...My Mom is from Okinawa.

I went to USC for a year.

 

Columbia isn't my ideal place to settle. I like to visit now and again, but no plans to live there. The triangle area in NC is good for me.

 

Spent 4 years in Charleson SC while in the service.

If I could afford it, I would retire down there (not sure my wife would though ) She was not a real fan of the summer heat.

 

My son owns a snowplow company.

So I use a phone.

 

I've got a husband with a snowblower...however this last storm he spent most of in the garage trying to fix the dam* thing and I spent it out front with a shovel Did I mention my back is killing me and he managed to fix it when I was almost done.

 

My sympathies to you. Tell your husband he is on the hook for a big present for your anniversay/birthday/Christmas.

 

Thank you... he'll probably get me a gold shovel pendant!

 

or a Trophy with a Golden Shovel...It's called a "JOHNY"...Oscar was taken.

The Nominees for Best Snow Shoveling or the Act of Snow Shoveling:

1. Ed, making a path for his Smart Car.

2. Peggy, showing the MINI mounds...and shoveling.

3. Vic, "Honey, I got to meet the guys at Starbucks, tonight!"...it just snowed 6" inches.

4. John, "Honey, I finished fixing the Snowblower...Oh Wow! You did a great job Honey!"

 

There he goes with the Smart Car cracks again! Just remember that we're all going to be on a boat on March 20th...and that water is still cold in March

 

So, the smart car will look like a bobber on the end of a bamboo fishing pole in the water.

 

Depends on how old you are.
At my age the risk is greater than the reward, therefore... no shoveling.
That's why God created all wheel drive and MINIs with snow tires.
