    Nobody drugged my wine last night.


    So last weekend I swept the leaves off the driveway. The California scrub oaks are evergreen. Which means they drop leaves year round. I filled up a 50 gallon bin.

    This is repeated every single week.

    Just did it again and the driveway already is covered with leaves.

    Chuck, I have steel or metal shovels. They are not good on the deck and can even scrape up sidewalks. I prefer this heavy plastic one myself. If yours doesn't perform as expected, try one like this.

    that should do the trick. i keep both plastic and steel shovels around. if the snow gets too heavy the plastic comes out to clear out the bulk of it and throw it on the lawn. then the steel to really scrape down to the bare concrete

    Plastic shovel for deck, metal/plastic for front of house, old metal/plastic for back of garage, aluminum scoop shovel for when shit gets deep, steel square spade for truck. Winter can be a pain in the ass.

    Edit: snow blower does the majority of the work.:thumbsup:

    Fix? No.

    Stop the leak? Maybe.

    Realize I'm going to have to spend lots of money? Yes.


    My wife wants a gabled roof. Not sure if the shed can handle the weight.
