Comments (7)I was toying with the idea of getting one of the electric snow shovels that was light enough to lift--unlike our big gas-powered machine--to use on sidewalk and deck, so I was reading reviews on Amazon. The question came up about snowblowers on gravel driveways and the need to keep them up a bit to avoid throwing the gravel around. Someone said if they kept the handles pushed down, pushing up the front edge of the blower, it was enough to keep the gravel from being thrown. I thought I read that someone else nailed a wooden strip or something to the bottom of the scoop to accomplish the same thing, though now I can't find that. In any case, I'd think the same thing would work for rubber roofs--you just need to make sure you're not digging into the membrane. The model I'm considering, the Toro 38381, weighs 26 pounds: not light, but you could heave it around. It wouldn't handle two feet of snow in one pass since it's only 10" deep, but of course the bigger the machine the heavier it is. You might also call roofing companies, I know a lot of them are keeping busy now dealing with ice dams and they might have people who could help you out. Good luck, it sure sounds like an exhausting and scary task....See MoreMounting satellite dish
Comments (11)We have mounted ours onto the fascia at the gable peak. Its high enough to receive over the trees without roof holes. Our previous one was mounted low with landscaping. It became a pain because anytime there was high winds it would blow the landscaping into the dish and disrupt the signal...also mush more noticeable and they are not pretty to look at....See MoreSatellite dish garden
Comments (6)Here is the dish on top of a metal table stand I found at a yard sale for a couple bucks. I thought I would be able to get the bolts out of the dish to have drainage, but they won't come out. So I'll need someone to drill some holes for me, then I'll cover them with window screen, add some cactus soil, then plant with hens 'n chicks and other sedums. I will update with new pics once it's planted....See Moreharry_wild
