Since all this snow has been wetter than we normally get I decided to relieve some of the strain on my lower pitched roof. There was 16" at the gutter & 12" at the peak. But it's all gone now. :biggrin:

The lower left corner of the left side. There is a pine tree there & it was laying on the roof adding extra weight. That corner was 6' x 4' with 3' of snow laying on it. That is right over my whirl pool tub!! :shock2:

These are the icicles that were hanging from the gutter on the left side of the 1st pic. I knocked them down.

Jim
I shoveled out 30 yards of drive way and a 20 yard path to the barn. The drive had about 18 inches of snow and the path was through a couple 3 foot drifts. Went for a walk down to my camp site and woods, the snow was waist deep in a lot of places.
The hell it don't WWW!! :sad3: I'm feeling it already. I also shoveled 18" of wet snow off the neighbors 20'x30' flat roof while he & his Wife were at a Dr's appointment. :laf: :laf: I've taken a couple Motrins already. Just trying to beat the pain rush. :laf: :laf:
Y'all be Careful out there shoveling this stuff!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
I built a "Curling" run up on my roof. Hoping the wife will take the initiative and get in some practice? :innocentwhistle:
HOLY SMOKES HaMer! I see you have 7000 Posts!!!! You ought to get some kind of award?
That looks like a lot of work HaMeR. Luckily the wind blew most of the snow off my roof, but the gutters are frozen full of ice. Just waiting for them to tear loose.........AGAIN. :argh: :argh:
My legs are a screemming at me. And we have more snow falling now. :east the wind has laid a little.
Nice job with the snow HaMeR, I agree that you should get some kind of award for breaking 7000 posts. :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
:laf: :laf: @ Dave!! Curling run on the roof!! I've read two of your "curling" posts now & all I gotta say is you better be very leery if the Wife fixes breakfast tomorrow. :eyebrownod:
bb-- It was a lot of work. Plus the 3-4" from the sidewalks. Plus the 3" from the sidewalks again a 1/2hr ago. :laf:
You take it easy up there slag!! I didn't get to talk to you @ the LBL & if I make it next year I would like to set with you for a few. :yoyo:
dd-- Thank You. My reward for hitting 7000 posts is that I got to meet some fine folks last weekend. And I gotta say I especially enjoyed shaking hands with one goofy Canadian!! :biggrin:

I am sure it needed done,and I know you have been laid off longer then normal and you miss being on those roofs.
Safety is the key word here.I have to shovel off the deck tonight when I get home.Ya wanna help :laf:
QuoteGlen I am guessing you done this shoveling while you were home ALONE
Yip, cause if'n the wife was home we would be seeing action pictures. Either of Glenn on the roof shoveling or standing on the ground watching the neighbor kid shoveling the roof. :innocentwhistle:
I wasn't home alone. :nono: My Daughter was upstairs sleeping. :eyebrownod: I know she was sleeping cause I could see it in her eyes when I came back in. :laf: :laf:

Chet-- I had 18" of fluffly padding to fall on. :biggrin:
Bill-- I have to go shovel snow off the bank roof & get the ice off the bay windows there. Apparently they don't like the looks of the towels laying in the window catching the water. I told em to get brown towels to match the trim work. :roflmao: :roflmao: :doh2: SORRY!!
Todd-- I am the neighbor kid!! :biggrin:
Quotecause I could see it in her eyes when I came back in.
Did you come through the roof or was ya kinda enough to use the door? :biggrin:
I'm sorry uh, Mr. Global Moderator. Please don't ban or boot me. :innocentwhistle: And by the way Sir, you shoveling stud, you look ravishing in Green. :biggrin:
HA HA HA..........That better? :biggrin:
I used the door Todd. :laf: :laf: I will ask you to keep your,, :wo: less than desirable advances to yourself. :roflmao: :roflmao:
I aint sure but I think the scraping of the shovel on the ice by her window was what woke her up. I really didn't want to ask. :nono: :nono:
That snow I took the pic of in the light left another 1 1/2". :laf: We're up to right around 24" now. Aint had a winter like this in 35 years or so.
HaMeR I'm really glad you got the job done without killing yourself :yoyo:. What I haven't figured out yet is why you didn't just talk it down :confused:. The hot air would have been like a big hair dryer and even the icicles would have shrunk. :biggrin:
OK Barry!! Here's your sign!!
