Why toy with an electric shovel when you can use a hydraulic shovel? I hope that bucket can reach a little farther than 15 feet. I'm not familiar with all the nuances of removing snow off a roof, but why not simply drive this rig up a ramp and onto the porch roof? From there, it could easily reach the far areas of the upper roof with its bucket and deposit the snow onto the ground. The metal roof should be able to withstand the tire treads, don't you think?

But I'm sure it won't top the video of the guy in Chicago who uses his snowblower to bury his neighbor's car because she stole his shovel. Now, THAT is funny!

I'd bury the dog too if it took a dump on my fenced in front yard. :)
In all seriousness though, I don't agree with what he did for revenge. Since he got her on video tape, he could have confronted her about stealing the shovel. Retribution isn't what I want my 2 year old daughter to see how I deal with problems. His excuse for the revenge (2 year old daughter dissapointment) is weak. What would you rather have your daughter see, you being helpful clearing out the neighbor's drive, or burying their car?
It's funny, I agreed, but two wrongs don't make a right. Sad to say but if it was my older daughter she probably would have done a lot worse to that lady's car.
Of course she learned all that from her mother, my first wife. Tick her off and your car would likely be found on it's roof on fire. She was a scary person to be married to.
"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."
