amarshall Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 What happened to shovelers? Build the banks I've seen your driveway Kevin. Mine is a lot longer. Plus I have to be in Boston no matter what at 6am. Got screamed at by boss last year because I hadn't driven through a blizzard to open the office.

Damage In Tolland Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Meh.. You just need a job that allows you to work from home. Very few jobs in private sector that don't allow that these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewbeer Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Meh.. You just need a job that allows you to work from home. Very few jobs in private sector that don't allow that these days Try clearing a 200 foot long diveway of 14 inches of wet snow. You'll get one after that.

Very few jobs in private sector that don't allow that these days Fatal mistake by employers last year. Pushed me over the edge in terms of entering the job market. Should have a new job by next month. They will be shocked. Thats what they get for living in the 1980s with employees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What happened to shovelers? Build the banks I have a complex driveway with junctions that I share with a neighbor...shoveling takes way too much time and I have to be too careful where I put the snow. The blower (mounted on my tractor) makes short order of that. You'd like what I do with snow though. Instead of a concentrated pile, I blow it over one part of my yard and build up a 2-4' snowpack over a 20x40' area and it's usually the last snow to melt in neighborhood, even longer than others banks.

amarshall Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I thought you worked as a captain on deep sea fishing tours? I do that on weekends and vacation days. Weekdays I sell expensive dead fish in Boston. here's a small fish I got 2 weeks ago. 105" 900 lbs. Straight to Japanese auction. Hence why I'm in the market for a new snowblower.

tamarack Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Looks like a $15K fish. Sans snowblower, I much prefer a snow scoop to a shovel in most places - obviously not for the stairs. Much faster plus easier on the back. Of course, when using a scoop, one always has to plan for the next storm(s) when clearing the current one, and in overnight bombs like Feb. 22-23, 2009 (24.5") I had to shovel out a place in which to begin dumping scooploads.

amarshall Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Looks like a $15K fish. About a 1/3 of that. TV vs Reality are two different things. Yen is extremely weak. Better than a sharp stick in the eye. In previous years yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarshall Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Lesco is now selling 10 lb bags of grass seed which is huge. I did 2 areas in my lawn. I ran out of Lesco double eagle and had to buy Pennington. The double eagle came in 50% thicker than the Lowe's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your comparing the type of seed (Rye,Tall Fescue, Creeping Fescue,Blue) vs just the brand. Eacn type has a different growth rate.
