ah, you want to know a quicker/easier way? I'm assuming you get SOME snow and that SOME City agency plows, if not, this idea won't fly. But if they do, whatcha do is move the road markers a foot inside. When that blade comes a plowin', it'll cut and throw all that overgrowth back to the side(s). I run into this often; if the homeowner doesn't 'mark' their driveway, the winter plow peeps miss and take 6" off either side. That's why they mostly mark the way now. Not all municipalities do this but YOU could take it on yourself to get some orange sticks and put them a food inside the road line; I bet any City driver would just use your guidelines and not even think about it.

Then again, wouldn't want you to lose your reason for eating chocolate, I guess...

You've done a magnificent job. Don't suppose there's a gas powered edger for rent anywhere near you? My back is aching in sympathy.

A lot of 25 year olds don't do much of anything anymore except stare at different boxes so not hard to compete w/that at all.

Yesterday, made a day run to the boat, checked the lines, check the tarp we put on top, our fly deck canvas needs some love, added some more cams to watch over it, love wifi cams. Great night vision.

The tarp had sagged in one place, loaded with ice and water. So I loosened a rope and let the edge down, not realizing I was standing where all the water would run out of the lower deck. Did my feet get a ice bath! Was already freezing due to winds and temps. Luckily had dry shoes in the boat. Had to retie the tarp and put it over the radar to make more of a pitched tent type tarp. One cold cold run, howling winds, freezing temps. Kept the seat heater on all the way home in the car, warmed the bones back up.

The fly deck covering is high on the fix list. We knew it was bad when we bought and discounted due to it. Going to install a solid top get rid of the canvas.

Now when we get alerts about high water, howling winds we can check that our boat is still happy. Gives you some ease of mind. Have some inside cams that watch for anybody entering our boat, those give me a instant alert. And I can yell at them to get off the boat. It is pretty safe there, we don't even lock the door, they say best not to, if someone wants to break in they won't break the door that way.

Not many would want our towels and small tv!

The alert comes right to the phone with a snap shot of the intruder, which at the time was us.

Great job JW! It does look a lot better. Me I would have taken my tractor and drug it off. But then again I have a tractor. Except recently I have had to hand shovel our 200 foot drive, my baby is at the shop with a hydraulic leak and of course it snowed.

pretty nice!

I love tech! The more the better, we are installing back up cams for the boat, so you know when you are about ready to hit the dock backing in. And our mechanic said he can set up auto parking, that I would love to see!
