why am i having a hard time believing that a guy who has been on reddit for over an hour with an 8 month old baby doesn't actually work 16 hour days...

Seconding FPF, I'm disabled and found some folks to come help shovel me out on there.

Yeah, I knew/know about the coolant factor. Do a lot of my own mechanicals.
It was definitely a problem with the blower doors, it's been coming on for a while. I just needed that exact tip from someone who knew exactly what I was talking about.
Already got it adjusted, and heat flowing.
Thanks again.

Or the ones that the Democrats propose to legalize cannabis every time they don't have a majority.

Man, 80+ hour weeks? Surely if you're putting in those hours they're compensating you well enough to be able to save and purchase a used snow blower.
It'll suck, but get a couple less hours of sleep tonight than usual and shovel out. I have many fond memories of shoveling out with my dad in the dark with some terrible headlamps after he finished up with work (too bad your 8-month-old can't yet help out lol)

Also, it took 2 hours this morning to shovel our deck, front walkway, and path to the propane tank. The driveway would take at least 4x that.

Wonder how much of your driveway would be clear if you just spent that time shoveling…

Doing it yourself should come before begging strangers to do it for you

flip a coin for dodge or chevy, then post "some guy came with a INSERT BRAND NAME HERE, and the truck couldn't do it"
​
you'll have 14 guys there in 20 minutes trying to prove their brand truck is better. LOL

Glad to hear you no longer want to move to our state, why you here then?

Grew up in Vermont and have never heard of a shovel?

THIS. most people do not get their driveways plowed for them. unless you're disabled you'd better start shoveling.

Youre welcome!
If you cant get to the cable where it connects under the radio, those panels come off pretty easily.
Also, side note. If you are low on coolant, you'll have little or no heat...so if you havent checked that,check that first.

Your job requires you work 18 hours a day every day?
I'm not trying to be heartless, but I'm sure you can find the time to take a couple hours in the morning or evening.

I did. A family member has a personal plow truck but they are in FL at the moment and they live 1 hour away so I can’t walk or find a ride. Now I’m on Plan C, which involves calling as many people as possible and posting for leads.

It's VT in 2023 so of course "I need to get to work" isn't on the list.

Call up your neighbors and shovel out.
You don't know anybody with a plow or snowblower? You haven't stockpiled any extra propane?
230 feet of shoveling isn't exactly fun, but a grown man should be able to pretty easily do it. Get to work!

Maybe it's time to make a backup plan. Adults need to be resourceul.

Strap it on your back as a counterweight to the shovel.
