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?


Cut a strip off a poly tarp or get a vinyl carpet runner.

I would worry about snagging the shingles unless this had some kind of
standoffs on the bottom. Maybe some D shaped runners.


Yeah, it didn't look like it stripped it clean. I will leave at least an

Rollers to keep the shingles safe:
