Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Just wondering if kids still go around offering to shovel snow on sidewalks? Use to hope it would snow during Christmas break or on weekends so I could make extra $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) We got a couple kids around here that appear to be pretty busy when it snows! I hired a snowplow guy though, just because he's here early in the morning when it snows more than 2". I can't always depend on the kids.

Pat Riot Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 None in my area. When I was a kid I was a snow shoveling maniac so I could make some extra money on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Last year two boys offered to shovel my drive and I took them up on their kind offer. It was a wet and heavy snow and it was worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 My next door neighbor's grandson has offered to do it several winter's in row. He's actually following his grand-pa's lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I doubt you will find a kid nowadays who will shovel most walks and driveways for $5.00. Neighbor kid used to get $20-25, depending on the depth of the snow, how wet, etc. He did a good job, but...now he's off to college. Have to find another high school student in the neighborhood.

Yul Lose Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 When I first got married to the practice wife back in 1973 we were renting an apartment from general Crooks granddaughter in Sheridan, Wy. I was working for $1.25 an hour and my rent was $75.00 a month. Mrs. Crook stopped me one snowy morning and asked me if I'd be interested in trading out part of my rent for shoveling snow. I said sure and started shoveling snow. I got $25.00 taken off my rent each month during the four months that we lived there and only had to shovel snow a half a dozen times. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashknife Cowboy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I know kids who ride around on their quads offering to plow you out for a few $$$$$, I have seen some with shovels too. Our last storm dumped 37 inches on us....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeBagodonuts Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I think I've been asked once in the last 20 years if someone could shovel my snow, and that was by an adult. The kids look at the size of my driveway and just keep walking. There's a neighbor whose teenage grandson plows the driveway and shovels the walk. I hired him last year and again this year. He does a pretty good job and isn't expensive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 You're supposed to shovel snow? We just buy a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk and wait for it to melt. (By the way, did I mention it was 75 today?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(By the way, did I mention it was 75 today?) We have about 5 feet on the North side where the snow slides off the roof. Currently at 210% of normal and 3 months to go. Could be interesting when it does melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I shovel my snow, got a 30' x 30" concrete pad in front of the garage in addition to a short 15' walk to the front door. Oh yes ....I'm still a kid at 75! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
