Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I'm looking for something that would be good for doing our roof. obviously the big 2 stage Toro won't be able to do it and would be a PITA to get up a ladder or out a window.

We have a new roof so I don't want to hurt the roof but the snow is really built up out there and it tends to melt very slowly. We are heading into Feb and lots more snow so I need something light enough and easy to manuever to use up there. The roof is pretty steep and in one section windows are mounted in the roof so that area might not be possible. They want a fortune to clear it and only the lesser section so I need something. Electric would probably be ok but it has to have enough power and the roof is pretty steep and high.

Any ideas?

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.

Have you ever thought about contracting out your roof snow removal services to your daughter?  Sounds like she's got some experience.
