Got my Ass Kicked

ADubM3 · 02-07-2010, 11:45 PM

Am I the only one or did this recent snow storm kick your ass shoveling the crap off of the drive way, side walk etc? Man, what a PITA.

Please no more snow!!!

Buy the snow plow machine

H2 · 02-08-2010, 12:08 AM

Oh yea, had lots of fun today. Shoveled about 50 feet of driveway. Next year I'll definately get a snow blower!

my friend talked me into helping him out with his driveway, about 3 hrs of shoveling, I'm taking a nap now

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
Here we go again tho, I already have a couple of inches on my driveway.

Its terrible - 2 storms in a week. I have an old chevy blazer for weeks like these, but I keep going into the garage and staring at my car...waiting for 50 degree sunny days in nova.

dhoggm3 · 02-11-2010, 04:23 PM

Here's the right way to do it. Teenaged son and 8-HP commercial blower.

ADubM3 · 02-12-2010, 08:53 AM

Nice machine! The only thing that was different at my house was no snow blower and no teenage son to help. How much for a blower like that?

M3ltdown · 02-12-2010, 09:24 AM

Agreed... that snow blower is hardcore. I dont know if we'll ever need it again after these two blizzards though, at least in the near future in the DC area.

Singletrack · 02-12-2010, 02:09 PM

My back is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE this week : P

Seriously though - will probably be getting a snow blower next winter.

dhoggm3 · 02-13-2010, 07:05 AM

I got it 15 years ago for $200 from an apartment complex that was going condo and liquidating its maintenance stuff. Still runs like a champ and have never even looked at the v-belts (probably would be a good idea). It DOES run on Mobil 1 though.

ADubM3 · 02-13-2010, 08:02 PM

Nice! Can't beat that! I need one too. Still sooooo much snow on the ground!

saeedg48 · 02-13-2010, 08:04 PM

ahhahaa sucks.

haze gray · 02-13-2010, 09:14 PM

Agree, I'm looking at the M in garage, haven't driven it in forever. After I got the driveway cleared, I backed it out to warm it up and sit in it for awhile. Lots of snow here in Great Falls. Gotta' love my snowblower though, it made the whole thing easier and earned a thanks from my neighbors.

Well, you can get a used exhaust system from a board member and then buy a snow blower at the same time

. Unless you need to have a brand new exhaust system...

turbologist · 02-14-2010, 11:41 PM

You can get one from Costco for around $600... Works like a champ... It plowed through everything we threw at it...
