Got the same problems as you guys, health got me couple of years back. Can't do either mow or shovel. Wife and son been taking care of it, but now the wife has a few health problems that stop her from shoveling or using the blower. Son bought a house and moved last June,
Had to find a way to get the sidewalk and drive cleared. So went and cut a deal with the neighbor 2 doors down. Last few years have watched him shovel his area, probley twice as big as mine. Sometimes the kid took the blower over and helped him out. So this year I told him he could take the blower over and keep it at his house if he would do ours to. I have a 9 horse 28 inch blower, so he did't take very long to make up his mind. So he has the blower over in his garage now and I will have everything taken care of. His hands won't get cold either, as there are hand heaters built right in on the blower handles.
Wife says she is still going to do the mowing, we'll see come spring. We have a nice John Deere lawn tractor, but you can't do it all with the tractor, so I guess I wait to spring and see what happens.
