Last week our water heater decided to die. That had to be replaced. We have a plow guy take care of the driveways, we have an L shape cause we're on a corner. One is 150 Ft and the other is 75 Ft. We've been paying over $200 a week for the past 4 weeks to this guy. But dh had shoulder surgery and could never take care of this amount of snow. When this all melts, we have water issues, with a sump pump in the basement. We always have a spare on hand. If we loose power, the generator is on the back deck and there are 6 Ft drifts around the deck. But more importantly, I have a treadle for backup......priorities.
