Smart!I had to sleep at work last night to make sure vaccination clinic and employee registration continued with the weather.
jumped on task rabbit and hired someone to do snow removal. Getting home and having everything cleared, best money I’ve ever spent.
I just called to check on my grandparents with the snow (they got 15 in) and they are out shoveling their driveway! My 23 year old cousin lives in the guesthouse at the end of said driveway but my grandparents are shoveling???? Are you kidding me??? My grandpa broke his hip last winter. I'm ready to call someone and raise hell!
I just found out one of these stores will be opening near me soon.

either that or don't build/live near a lake, as you've seen from shots from Erie and around BuffaloSo if you live in New England (or Canada) chances are that you will get snow and an occasional blizzard.
If you are THAT upset it snowed move.
When we have an ice storm it worries me more .
There are things going on that are far more concerning to me than a little snow. (we got a foot).
Help me settle a debate please
Large city supplied trash barrels. Wheels and a lid. The hinge is on the same side as the handle, which has a single axle on the bottom to move it around. Big honkin barrels.
When you bring the barrels back in, if you had to place them against the side of a porch/house, do you push them in so the wheels/handle/hinge face out, or do you pull them in so the wheels/handle/hinge are against the house?
I have VERY strong feelings on this but won't provide just yet
Also, I know the "correct" answer is, "Whichever way SHE wants the barrels put back." That's not what I'm looking for here
Handle out, that way you don't have to turn the barrel around before pulling it to the curb.
Disclaimer: I have no dog in this fight as I have a dumpster.

HA! You definitely put it so the wheels are facing out to make it easier. My wife puts it back however, and it's a pain in the ass.
I definitely don't say anything to her though because it's a battle that's just not worth it to me.
Oh I say something, and last night I guess I said it one too many times. Almost found my ass sleeping on the couch lol.

...why would anyone put it back facing the house? I can't wrap my head around how inefficient that is.
Two schools of though I guess. If you put the handle/wheels in first, it opens easier to toss bags in. If you push it in so the handle is out, it pulls away easily but might be a little more troublesome to open the lid to toss a bag in.
I am 100% in the wheels/handle out camp. Once those suckers fill up, if you dont have a handle to grab and wheels to lean on, it can be a bitch to drag it away. Add some snow and forget it. My back just torqued typing it out.
lol amen Bets, I also keep a dumpster back at home. It's emptied the first Friday each month. My father lives on the first floor and I'm on unit 2. He's got a physical hcap and I'm rarely home when the barrels would have to go out, not to mention our town forces 1 set of barrels per unit, aka double the cost. The dumpster is super easy, nobody has to put the trash out, and we save a few bucks.
Wheels/hinge towards house but on an angle for easy access. If you have the ability to rig it so you can walk down one step and open at least the recycling barrel to throw something away it is a game changer. Mom even has a bungee cord so you can just lift the top without the risk of getting wet when it is raining or snowing.Help me settle a debate please

I have to use a dumpster so I do not recycle. I don't have the space for 2 barrels in my apartment.
