  1. My Japanese maple dumped today, driveways covered, have to get the blower out tomorrow.
  2. Hasn't happened in 26 years yet so I assume it won't. I had a new roof installed last year and unbeknown to me they ripped up the gutter guards with the old roof and threw them into the dumpster. Back a few months when we got the heavy rains what your describing is exactly what happened. Even got water into my basement for the first time. I cleaned the gutters and installed the guards and everything's been hunky dory since.
  3. Yeah, I don't get that, even if you pay to have them installed by one of the big companies it's a one time fee and never have to worry about it again.
  4. I installed gutter guards this summer and they work great, cost about $120 for the guards and a few hours to install.
  5. I remember doing that as a kid and misjudged and ended up with a big headache.
  6. Doesn't look crazy 1.5-2 inches, we've had worse.
  7. Looking 10 days out you should have a some decent snow cover for Thanksgiving.
  8. You're all set, you'll never lose power again
  9. The funny thing is 80% of the leaves are from my neighbors trees.
  10. Same here, tons of acorns, not many hickory nuts though.
  11. Could be, I live on a small dead end street with 5 houses, we all help each other and lend tools, I've borrowed my neighbors snow blower when mine was down and I've lent mine out now that I have a good one among other tools.
  12. A good neighbor would lend his assistance and let him borrower the good blower.
  13. My guys do it all at once for $250 and I have just under an acre. Then they do one last mow, its usually around first week of December.
  14. I was going to pull the trigger and get one but lately I've just been hiring some kids looking for work to do it.
  15. One of my aunts had boxes full of dividend checks, they were only a few dollars each but she thought they were statements and not checks and never cashed them. Not sure how much it ended up but it was gone.
  16. me too, cost $250, money well spent.
  17. I was only 16 but I swear all the mets on the major networks before the blizzard of 78 said it was a huge storm but was just going to graze us, the next morning was different but I remember going to bed disappointed.
  18. My brother used to get over a hundred bags a year until he had some trees cut down, he's got 30 so far this year with just a little cleanup left.
  19. I write three a year for the dinosaur of an oil company I get my oil from.
  20. I don't see any point in clearing any when for $250 some kids will do it for you and leave it spotless.
  21. Used to like the day when the mets at 11 would predict light snows 1-3 inches and we'd end up with 18 inches. Those days are over I think but when I was a kid I always went to bed hoping they were wrong.
  22. I used to be like that but it's so much easier to put them on autopay. You're never late for one thing.
  23. I have to look more into this, seems convenient in addition to getting benefits.
