How's The Weather Out There...

... so was I Sergio. My relatives were living in a cave near Borgiallo back then (Vercellino, Temporino, Configliacco - Canova the famous marble sculpture).

After spending hours on my stomach crawling around my attic yesterday, today I went up on the ladder to shovel some of the 18 inches of snow off my back porch roof. The snow & ice was so heavy that I couldn't get the back door to open more than 8 - 10 inches - just enough for me & dog to get out.

It was too slippery to stand on the roof itself, I had to stand on the ladder and poke away with my shovel. It wasn't long enough to get to the last three feet, so I had to modify it...

Yes, I don't only make long barrels for Lugers, Lahtis, and Nambus; I also make eight foot show shovels...

It's not perfect; the PVC is too springy. I couldn't find any farm implement that used a long hardwood handle.

Couldn't find ANY steel snow shovel, they're all plastic. Ace had a couple of thin steel 'snow pushers', but I needed a shovel big enough to move a cubic foot of snow at a time. I may have to make one.
