PaulC 341 #26 Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks again for all the support and concern guys!! Just got done shoveling waist deep snow off of my roof was wishing I could get my horse up there haha. Such a weird snow too it was coming off in 10 sq ft chunks. My home is definitely built well I couldn't imagine how much weight in snow was up there. Here is a pic of right out my back door. The driveway was nearly bare yesterday!! Here is a cool video I didn't even come close to the ground when I landed lolhttps://vimeo.com/112394631 Heading out with the horse now very soon. I'll see if I can get my wife to take a few more videos. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest Road 594 #30 Posted November 20, 2014 We're in Indian Lake. It's just far enough west to avoid most of the lake effect snow. Haven't been on a sled up there in years. Way too much sled traffic for my likings. Looks like you're having a good time w the white s***. Keep it up! Like you have a choice [emoji12] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulC 341 #32 Posted November 20, 2014 The horse was on a mission today guys. The snow was just right and it made clean up a breeze. Only thing I had to do was get off and knock down the huge pile by the house from the roof. Here's the pic from out the back door after clean up I added a piece to block the front on the lower section and it worked much better I thought here's a video. https://vimeo.com/112430515 Here's a real cool one where my bro does some on the fly editing https://vimeo.com/112430672 Definitely keeping this monster chute after today I was impressed! I just sprayed the inside with graphite spray and bolted on the lower section and put some color on that too. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest Road 594 #34 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Every storm i do my driveway plus 3 neighbors. Ok so one is the in laws. go ahead say it.... "Everybody loves Raymond" So how many of your neighbors have come begging for help? It's a tough spot to be in.

PaulC 341 #35 Posted November 21, 2014 Forest aka Raymond I live right on the city rural line and my road has a very rural feel so there are only about 10 houses right around me. A lot of the folks have been there a long time and are well acquainted. My neighbor directly across has an F-250 with a plow that does quick clean up passes for almost everyone most of the time and right next to him is a small farmer that has lots of equipment with one being a diesel bobcat with a huge bucket, they both helped everyone out this storm. When I got done cleaning up my driveway yesterday I helped my next door neighbor clear his driveway at the road and cleared the whole driveway of elderly neighbors across the street. I would have and should have kept going because I was really enjoying the seat time yesterday. The weather was actually calm and the horse and blower were working fantastic. I am one that likes to have good relationships with my neighbors and help out when I can but with how busy life is it can be a tough spot....do I go help neighbors out? or go take care of 1 of the million other things I have waiting for me with my own house/property. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #36 Posted November 21, 2014 Wide open spaces and heavy equipment... .Sounds like a great place to live. Probably a lot nicer when it's not snowing. I'm in the burbs. Surrounded by senior citizens. At least the one 2 doors over, third grandma to my kids, bakes for me. Typically by the time I finish up w the Ariens I'm tired and outta beer. So the senior citizen on the opposite side replenishes the brews. It sort of balances out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
