Deb`s driveway: the video
« on: 19 December 2010, 15:03:10 »
Ok, you`ve all read about my driveway and the snow.....yada-yada! ::)

So, I thought I`d show you on video what it`s really like......after several hours of shoveling it`s passable again.
I`ve found that it`s better/easier to shovel the snow before it gets compacted by sheep-feet or vehicles.
I cleared two snow-shovel width channels for the wheels for the full length of the driveway (450 metres long & rising 56 metres from end-to-end), mainly so I could see where the firm/safe track is, for it`s amazingly easy to get blinded by the uniform-whiteness of deep snow under grey skies and the ground each side the the rock surfaced track is soft and boggy.
Anyway....were in the Disco; there`s Pat Metheny on the radio and the heater`s on, so enjoy the trip..... ;)

In some ways I'm deepy envious of the tranquility and picturesque location...  ...but don't envy the work involved!


I'm knackered after clearing drive, and moving snow away from house (it was above damp course, which concerned me)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I grew up in a similar situation, cows and sheep were my only neighbours and every minute of daylight was spent outside doing stuff that kids do.

I also would like to say thank you to the kind OOF`ers whom PM`d me with words of encouragement, when my spirits 'flagged' after the heaviest of the recent snowfalls......thanks guys; it really helped. :y
