We get the same issue out front but that just fills the sidewalk entrance. I doubt I could move enough snow to prevent the big graders from filling my sidewalk. The real answer from my point of view is to move it quickly. If one is home when the grader goes by, then it is not much of a problem. If one tries to move the snow hours later, then one has to chop bricks of snow out of the pile. Good for making an igloo of one is into that sort of thing I suppose.

Re: [MBZ] Snowpocalypse 2014
I had to clean the driveway which included moving the Jetta which Angie hadn't done in last week's storm. It started right up and moved good but the coolant leak appears to be worse than I'd hoped. Going to dolly it to the mechanic on Monday. Got in a real good snowmobile ride, headed over to the local snowmobile shop, he's got a good trail in but had packed snow against the trail into a huge pile. I'm not usually the trailbreaker and didn't judge how the pile was built, ended up on a pile with one ski hanging out into space. If the pile hand't been built so strong I'd have rolled right over. http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz353/curtludwig/22D998E9-754E-4552-B343-85FEE3BDC211-619-00385488DF03_zps3238b3f3.jpg Its hard to tell in the pic but the top of the seat is 6' off the ground... Managed to get the sled off the pile by tugging on the ski and turning the machine down hill instead of rolling it. Then it wouldn't start until I realized I'd hit the kill switch when I thought it was rolling over. Heading back out I did an X-Games style jump back over the pile and fell ass over teakettle as the sled landed funny. Fortunately it didn't take off without me. The rest of the ride was pretty uneventful until on the return trip I lost the trail on a frozen pond where the wind had drifted the snow. Out in the 20 unpacked snow the sled tried to bog. I got way back on the seat and piled on the power. The sled has a 670cc liquid cooled 2 stroke which makes something like 90HP which is plenty for a 700# machine. With the weight shifted back and the power piled on the skis lifted and we made it across the pond no problem. So anyway, my 4th good ride in 3 years, planning on another ride tomorrow. -Curt Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 13:45:51 -0600 From: Randy Bennell rbenn...@bennell.ca To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Snowpocalypse 2014 Message-ID: 52fe726f.7060...@bennell.ca Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed So where is everyone?

Re: [MBZ] Snowpocalypse 2014
You burn coal? My parents have a very old coal stove from a railroad caboose, I remember Dad pulling it out of the remains of the caboose in the woods behind some guy's house. We've got a Jotul woodstove but wood is kinda spendy and a lot of work compared to coal. I saw a video on Vimeo about the Chubby stove http://chubbystove.com/ which looked real good. Unlike my parent's stove its got an ash pan and can be shaken with the door closed keeping the ash under control. I found a place nearby that has bagged coal for $310/ton. I've read that 1 ton of coal equals 3 cords of wood. I'm thinking that 2 tons of coal would easily heat our house with less work than wood and cheaper than wood or oil. The nice thing is that it can still burn wood, lots of people give me wood so thats free heat.

Re: [MBZ] Snowpocalypse 2014
Hi Curt, Yes we burn coal. I have had an Alaska stoker upstairs for years and an old Fisher Papa Bear wood stove downstairs. I love wood heat but recently stumbled on a deal on a Hitzer hopper stove. I took out the wood stove in favor of the Hitzer. I like it so much I sold my Alaska and bought another just like it for upstairs. Hitzer model 30-95, requires no electric to burn, crank out heat like no tomorrow if you want or will burn 24 hours on a 30 pound hopper on low. Shaker grates and a nice ash pan keep it neat. 2 of them are keeping a drafty 1800+ square foot farmhouse with almost no insulation and an open12 foot balloon frame tin roof at 70 when it was 0F out and burning about $12-15 worth of coal a day to do it. Not cheap, but the house is drafty, the windows suck and we were burning a crapload of wood and not staying as warm. We tend these twice a day and leave them be. I thought the Alaska was great until I got a real coal stove. The stoker is noisy and requires electricity. I only need that for the fan to circulate now so less on that bill by a little. The Hitzer is Amish made and I have spoken with the owner of the company who will get on the phone and answer any questions. They will also sell parts direct at a very good price. Check them out at hitzer.com Mike On Feb 14, 2014 9:23 PM, Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com wrote: You burn coal? My parents have a very old coal stove from a railroad caboose, I remember Dad pulling it out of the remains of the caboose in the woods behind some guy's house. We've got a Jotul woodstove but wood is kinda spendy and a lot of work compared to coal. I saw a video on Vimeo about the Chubby stove http://chubbystove.com/ which looked real good. Unlike my parent's stove its got an ash pan and can be shaken with the door closed keeping the ash under control. I found a place nearby that has bagged coal for $310/ton. I've read that 1 ton of coal equals 3 cords of wood. I'm thinking that 2 tons of coal would easily heat our house with less work than wood and cheaper than wood or oil. The nice thing is that it can still burn wood, lots of people give me wood so thats free heat.

Re: [MBZ] Snowpocalypse 2014
Thanks to Jon's recommendations, I bought an Ariens this winter. I used the crap out of it so far! Best $1000 I've ever spent. Before that, Jon was kind enough to do my driveway, and before that, I would sweat my butt off for two hours and only clear 1/4 of the driveway, park my car at the beginning and walk.
