I have to use the shovel so I can get the snow blower to where I need to use it.

Even after using the blower I scrape the walks down to bare concrete and get some of the areas the blower leaves behind..broom is the best thing for the deck..

Speaking of decks, ours is covered. House insurance comes up and they want pictures of the outside of the house. Then believe it or not they want me to clean off my deck.

The problem with the deck is it has a lot of flat surfaces. Table saw, table, bbq, chairs. Those are great places to put things. That's all that area seems to be. A spot to put stuff with no home. The insurance lady did say why not just move everything, take a picture then put it all back.

Did they think there was too much weight on it, what was their reasoning. Maybe knit picking..

Naw, I think it was just the clutter. It needed it to be honest. It just seems to be the spot where everything ends up.

That is an after shot. Seems once they found out the house was over 100 years old they started to get picky about stuff.
