[quote=Austruck]Also, I ordered one of those two-handled shovels, which arrives Wednesday from Amazon. I'll let you know if it's easier on the back![/quote]

Gentle hugs for you from here!

I got out and shoveled the front sidewalks (about 150-200 feet) and then shoveled a path from the side door to each of our vehicles. That's it for now. We have a huge driveway (not just straight, but it has a huge square area in front of the two garage doors in addition to the 200 feet from the house to the street) but I'm not going to hand-shovel that just because hubby dawdled getting the snowblower fixed. My back was already a little achy after doing the front sidewalks and that path. (I took some ibuprofen.) 

I broomed off my car in case I want to go anywhere. I'll just deal with the snow on the driveway by gunning it to get out. :D 

And yes, our driveway is full of cracks and uneven seams, so shoveling is awful. Even snowblowing can be tricky if you keep hitting those seams wrong. 

The good news is that the city had to dig for some new gas lines in the front AND back of our house in the past two years... and they gave everyone brand new sidewalks! So no more bad cracks and seams to shovel, at least![/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I don’t count that as lazy but to each their own. I used to park our cars on the driveway in a strategic way to minimize shoveling before we got it repaved. It used to be a nightmare to shovel because of all the cracks and divots .[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=John McClane]You’re unhinged! :p :lol:[/quote]

Nah, just lazy! :D[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]And I would rather just do it once![/quote]
