Hey guys. Just got some pics from my neighbor in Tahoe and the house is bout buried in snow. Looks to be bout 4 feet of snow on the roof.
That means I gotta get up there NOW and get it off before I leave for Texas. That means leavin in a few min for Tahoe.
Of all days or times to travel up there. Freakin New Years Eve.
OH well, it is what it is. It'll take me a minimum of 2 days to get all of it off.
Guess I'll talk to y'all after I get back.
Happy New Year guys.

I've never heard of them helpin out like that in Tahoe.
I've decided to get up and get on the road bout 4am tomorrow and hopefully get up there and start workin by 9am.
That way I don't have to spend 250+ dollars for a room in MOTEL 6 ! Course, it is New Years Eve.
Just never heard of a 250+ dollar room at Motel 6 in Lake Tahoe before.
I'll keep y'all informed of the progress today.

It costs money to leave the light on for you! Especially in Ca. Not to mention gas. Be careful! Balance isn’t what it used to be when you get older!

Can you use a small blower Saw


No, I have a vinyl roof and can only use plastic shovels or risk cutting the vinyl.

Thanks Smitty. I have one with the handle extensions but my roof is flat and it's hard to use it on my roof unless it's later in the season when the snow on the ground elevates me enough so I can reach deeper onto my flat roof.
Plus, you have to keep up with it so it doesn't pack down. It's only good on soft snow.. As soon as the snow gets packed the rake won't go down through the hard crust of snow and ice.
