Anyone buy one of those electric blowers? I moved in with my grandmother temporarily after the breakup and man..i forgotten how bad it is to shovel. Its a back killer...been so used to apartments.
We had 30cm of snow the last two days I believe..and another 30cm expected in the weekend.
Manual shovelling is a . What are some good electric snow blowers? Prefedebly under 400 dollars.
I dunno about under 400...
I don't live in an area where I've had to shovel snow but it seems like it's be easier to just melt it.
cm? da fuq m8, this is murica!
Here's what you do. Dig a couple of small trenches and lay some heating coils down the trenches and hook them up to your electricity. Flick the switch...go grab a beer...and relax.
If he melted it would re freeze into ice and he would fall on his head next time owt.
In Canada they say out, owt.
how is going to refreeze with the heating coils?
It not all gonna just lay by the heating coils. Ya gotta get the side walk, the driveway...
Ya melt one part the other part freezes.
Its not going to melt. December-March temp average is around -18c to -22c..You can apply salt so you dont get icy pathway, but you still have to shovel the snow.
And pgardn is right now. Unless you apply salt, melting it in other way is Super Dangerous because it freezes really quick. Like 1 minute quick..specially in January and December when you're getting ridiculous -30c to -45c temperature.
Once it's melted, then you have some kind of evaporating tubes also run.
can you build a temporary walkway on top of the snow?
Yeah..thats usually a good alternative but the problem with that is..as you allow the snow to ac ulate, the ice beneth it gets thicker and thicker. And over time, you snow route will get really high.
I always say, if you're not salting your walkway..you better not remomve all the snow because the ice can really cause injuries. Every year, i slip at once..if you slip once and the wrong way..it can get dangerous.
Word. I new a guy that slipped on some ice and fell back on his head and they thought he was going to die. It's a pretty common injury I hear. Not the death part but falling back on the head.
So...when you build your temporary walkway, run the heating coils on the bottom.
When the snowplow comes down the street knock the driver out.
You know the rest.
Shove everything in the neighbor's yard, replace the driver to his original position.
have you tried manually blowing it yourself? seems to be a skill of yours
why not let the snow build up and then tunnel? then it can snow as much as it wants. live like eskimo.
I dont haelve the skills or time to do that..I dont even know anyone that does that.
The tunnel will have to be reinforced to code.
If not, it might collapse and then who will explain the frozen snow plow driver to the police?
yeah, just call starving students snow tunnelers. they work for food.I dont haelve the skills or time to do that..I dont even know anyone that does that.
the police. they won't find that driver until it thaws in the spring.
Yup. Its usually a combination of multiple factors though. Like a slippery pathway plus non-winter boots.
If you're wearing non-winter shoes and you slip, the fall is much harder because the shoes dont hold up and tend to give a more natural slip by banana fall.
If you're wearing good boots though..You might fall, but chances are you're slipping forward and you probably end up injuring your arms or ankles. Much better than the former...but its all conditional really...
You're walking with zero care..evens.good bots wont save you.
i'd move
Just buy some snowshoes for you and your granny
