We are all set. A friend of a friend of a friend pulled through and we were able to give him quite a bit of business for his unrelated day job.

For all of you that legitimately tried to help, thank you. To everyone else, I hope that the next time you are in a difficult position that you are able to receive help or at least empathy.

You sure it’s not a sugar maple?

The last part had me audibly laughing out loud😭😭😭

This reply has so much Vermont energy to it there is like a pine tree coming through my computer right now

A BIG “Have cash NEED PLOWING” sign at the end of your driveway. Someone ought to pop up.

What a VT winter will do to a person

A little over 200ft is for sure not nothing. But over the course of a few days you should be able to make it passable with a car.

So what good is a snow plow if it is going to get stuck?

70 meters is pretty significant.

OP I feel you. As a new parent at one point 8 months is a crazy hard part of being a new parent. Exhaustion fully sets in. Your coming to terms with doing everything you did before plus everything it takes to keep that little human alive and happy. (Which is typically every single unspoken minute you have that the rest of the world doesn't demand from you)

My advice would be to post of Front Porch Forum for this kind of stuff. This subreddit seems to lavish in lecturing people who are struggling by calling them incompetent or outsiders or dumb to bolster their ego about how tough they are because they live in VT. FFP will be much more helpful. I've lived in VT full time for the majority of my life and I promise you most Vermonters outside of this subreddit dont respond to request for help with lectures and "pull your self up by your fucking bootstraps attitudes"

In the mean time (not to be contrary to my point) I would do everything you can to clear out your plow pile at the end of driveway so emergency vehicles can get to you easier. But I promise you any EMT will climb that snow pile and walk to your front door if you have a 911 call.

And risk his jazz hands?

It’s just that we all have to do shitty things some times we don’t want to do. There’s a long list of driveways needed to be plowed and it would just be smarter and more efficient to do it yourself at this point. It’s a tax of living here.

This is the Vermont version of Twitter. It's where people come to bitch and be NIMBYs about their subreddit while they complain about them.

Most of Vermont is not on r/Vermont and will go way out of their way to help people in need.

When my kids were that age I'd put them in one of those packs. Do firewood, cut grass, gardening. Ahhh shoots! Now I sound like my parents. Lol. Hey good luck with your snow removal.

They're not very scoop shaped, a bit heavier than a normal shovel and you'll hafta bend over pretty far, but I'm sure you can make it work

I’m always bewildered when North easterners of all people don’t pick up on sarcasm lol

So OP, what made you move to Vermont?

Should the behavior of an individual player decide the eligibility of a team or a school? I think not. However, the decision of a coach or a school to forfeit a game would be a deciding factor in the elimination of an entire team.

Try CL and FB Marketplace as well. Good luck!

Nah. They made a fully custom block back exhaust for my old bronco, including parts and stuck header bolts, for $2100.

Either your plow guy screwed up and didn’t come hit your driveway once or twice while it was still snowing, or you didn’t want to pay him enough…

Either way, post up as suggested. You may need a tractor or a loader, depending on how much you got. This shit is heavy!

Ain't nobody saying guy can't take a vacation. But not telling your clients that you're leaving is a major dick move. I have no doubt OP would be better prepared if they'd had even a few days notice.

John Deere Tractors are 0% interest for 60 months. My 2032R with rear blade can plow 200 ft of driveway in maybe 15-20 minutes.

awesome looking forward to just get out of the cities, no im not bringing my city politics with me because i feel its important to own land and detach from the system

Strap them to you and get shoveling. Or have your partner watch them. Or if they sleep well carry the monitor with you while you shovel. I know my $50 monitor works over 200ft from the camera.
