As for me, think I'll go out in the morning and knock a few coconuts
off the palm trees.



That's a clever contraption. I had seen it before and was thinking of
trying to make on. There were no snow rakes to be found anywhere around
here. Everyone was sold out.


Anybody have any idea where we get the yellow plastic thing attached to it?

I think any slippery piece of plastic would get the job done. Maybe
an old carpet runner or something like that?



I was cutting blocks using a telescoping pruning saw with the saw
removed. Once I undercut the snow and then cut each side making
a "block" it just slid down the roof on the inch or so of remaining
snow. Really didn't need a plastic runner.
