So getting my son his own car might be one way out of having to pay him to shovel the driveway.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-59381313910638804902012-01-07T16:49:17.731-05:002012-01-07T16:49:17.731-05:00My husband does some morning shoveling when it sno...My husband does some morning shoveling when it snows overnight - I shovel if the snow falls during the day. My kids only shovel if they want to get their car out of the driveway and no one else has done it. We pretty much go by the rule that if the snow is too deep for 'you' to back out, then 'you' have to shovel!michiganmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382981338459247426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-26129926954767517752012-01-05T14:40:29.612-05:002012-01-05T14:40:29.612-05:00I'm glad I'm not alone!!

We haven't had snow yet, so I have tested this out for this year.<br /><br />However, we have an incredibly long gravel driveway, so we pay ~$50 (per time) to have it plowed. We only get it plowed if we have more than 4 inches of snow, because it will pack down, and gravel doesn't get slippery from ice. In an average winter, we can usually get away with 3 or 4 plowings.Cassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04058787761575567910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-72713979417866737512012-01-05T11:24:57.413-05:002012-01-05T11:24:57.413-05:00C then A.

After Bob and I moved into this plan, all of the neighbors pitch in to pay a professional. But when it absolutely, positively, must get done, my man is the one with the shovel and the arms to do it. I am just way too out of shape!joanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1805554874942481868.post-84033914656268829752012-01-04T22:07:04.635-05:002012-01-04T22:07:04.635-05:00Well, now it's g but it used to be a and somet...Well, now it's g but it used to be a and sometimes c.
