i had just chopped up ice on my backyard walkway.....every stinking time we get snow, then it melts, it overflows the downspouts, then ices over...one time years ago, there must have been 4 inches of ice my boys and me had to chop thru....
its a small area, about maybe 4 feet long, by 2.5 feet wide, but the delivery people do not bring us our packages, and i cannot blame them......it is hard for me to keep up with this nonsense, which is why i was thinking a long handled flame thrower, in another thread.
so again this time (as in the past) i laid down a good amount of rock salt....today too, the temps hit 40 degree's after we had 2-3 inches of snow last night.
