Helped A Neighbor Today

This week has been snow daily with 5-8 inches everyday nearly. Most of the roofs around here need shoveling due to the excessive weight.

Luckily I got mine done before our current blizzard today. But it still got snowed right back again…

My neighbor Leslie however, her roof needs replacing and the under boards are bad so the snow load is dangerously close to collapsing it (in my opinion). Didn’t get a picture of her roof with the snow but it had about 3 feet on the south side and 2 feet on the north side.

Sooo James and I went over this morning and he used the bobcat to push snow away from the front of her home while I got on roof and shoveled. Afterwards James joined me up top and we finished together.

I dared James to jump off into the snow and demonstrate what we call swimming up here in Michigan…

So that’s winter life in the U.P. of Michigan eh!

What a huge amount of snow. You definitely need that bobcat to move that much snow around. The only place to put it is the center of your yards and keep going up. Wow and you have 2 more months of this!

um more like 3 more months then a long slow thaw...

What a great neighbor you are to Leslie, to clear her roof just in time before a blizzard which surely would have caused her roof to fail and cave in.

im fairly certain it might have...

That's insane.. I'll quit bitching about the snow here

hahahaha!
