Excellent.

Oh by the way, I was 'forced' to watch four christmases on the weekend. My thanks for your role as the younger brother, as the movie was otherwise unwatchable at best.

Agreed, but compared to the rest of the movie...

you have no OBLIGATION, but if you a re good neighbor you'll do their yards too. So you waste 50 cents in gas

If you have elderly neighbors you do it no questions asked



my neighbor just bought a new one and I woke up this morning with my sidewalk and driveway done! It may suck in theory but the joy you'll bring your friends is immense!

Thanks but I don't need one when I have this place :twisted:

Now don't you have some shit movies to make dear?

My entire family, except me, is from Portland, Maine.
I'm in Michigan. My one neighbor decides to snowblow his mom's driveway at 3 a.m. Its right next to my bedroom window. Because his parents are old, I have always been polite and when my kids were young, I would make them go play at the park as to not bother these old people, then their son pulls this shit!!!
Pissed me off to no end!!!

Well where I live, we don't get snow. The only time I have seen snow was when I was about 6, and I fell over and grazed my leg and I sat in the car for the rest, I was so upset.

But I liken your situation to me mowing lawns. When ever I mow my lawn, I always mow the neighbours nature strip (don't know if that's what it is called around the world but a bit of lawn between the footpath and the road) I also went in yesterday and mowed my neighbours front lawn. They're in Europe atm, so it makes the house look lived into the burglars.

So I guess what I am saying is, do your neighbours. But if they don't appreciate it, then they can get fucked.

WE call it the part between the sidewalk and the street, or the city part.

Where is use to live, the elderly man across the street had a snow blower. He always would snow blow the walk in front of my house, as well as about 3 other houses. I lived on a corner lot, but my ex husband would come and do the other sidewalk and the driveway. It was great. Where I live now, all everyone wants is money to help out. There were times I was very ill, and they knew it. They would come by and offer to do it, but at rates that were ridiculous. I'd wait til the kids came around and then pay them double!!

got home from vacation a few nights back. had to fire up the snow blower to clear the drive so we could get the car into the garage.

it was about 11:30pm i left the sidewalk for the next day.

My neighbor has his own landscaping company and owns his own Bobcat. All it takes is a please and a $20 and my driveway is taken care of. I don't usually take him up on this but when it is 12+ inches (which we get from time to time) it is well worth it. Although my neighbor across the street has his own snowblower that I can use for free, I usually go that route.
