looking good

Very, very nice.

I was wondering what the parts came from initially. Looks like the only thing that is familar is possibly the blade and part of the frame? I like the idea of the frame extending to the rear end for strength. An impressive job!

Nice work, Rick. Where'd you find that snow ?? None here at all. Maybe you should trailor that out here and we'll try it out on my 1000' driveway !! Congrats. Craig

Nice Job Rick! I have thought about doing this, but I am young and it feels good to hop off and stretch my frame out. Where did you find snow. It has been rare as hen's teeth around here. We are supposed to get a few inches overnight, but it has been raining non-stop since noon. I hope my fire department pager stays quiet, but I am afraid as the temp drops the ice will form and out we'll go, but, I am hoping not!!

[Gary S.]

Looks great Rick, bet you had fun making it also.Feels great to get something like this up and working. Looks like you had a manageable snow to try it out on too. The only snow we had here was so deep and wet underneath, that I was too busy getting rid of it to enjoy it.

Nice Job Rick! I have thought about doing this, but I am young and it feels good to hop off and stretch my frame out.

I ain't young, and getting on and off is getting to be a pain, but for the approx. $190 to build it, I think I will keep on getting off when I need to change the angle, since it isn't very often.
