The rake is amazing. Very light-weight so it is easy to lift.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-45756745952445439172007-02-16T07:59:00.000-05:002007-02-16T07:59:00.000-05:00Oh, ok.

I have a strange worry about roofs (leaking, collapsing, etc.).Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-77504048838206160142007-02-15T18:32:00.000-05:002007-02-15T18:32:00.000-05:00You'll see in one of yesterday's photos, ol' Tom w...You'll see in one of yesterday's photos, ol' Tom with his roof rake. He rakes off only the back roof after each snowfall, because it isn't steep. The other roofs are steep enough so the snow melts and drips off. If he didn't rake the back roof, melting snow would back up and cause leaks. The handle of the roof rake is very long, about 25 feet.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-47461104171309207582007-02-15T18:02:00.000-05:002007-02-15T18:02:00.000-05:00Wow!

We'd probably have to hire someone to do ours since it's so high up (even if we were standing on a lot of snow to get to it!).Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.com
