Another story from this past winter.
It was the biggest snowstorm this winter. We didn’t go out to shovel that night knowing that we would only have to shovel multiple times anyway. Our snowblower would take care of it in less time anyway.
The next day there was a break in the weather so hubby and I went out to use the snowblower. It started out fine and hubby ended up getting a couple passes done then the belt went. And it stopped throwing snow.
The thought of shoveling 30cm of snow wasn’t a pleasant one. I was about to call my father for help when Barry, the guy across the street came over and asked if we needed help.
We told Barry what happened and he looked at our blower with hubby. He agreed that it was out of commission and offered to bring his blower over.
Barry was a nice guy. He and his wife moved into the house about a year ago. He was around 55 years old, 5’8, stalky and works as guard. Beth, his wife is a nurse.
