A foot of snow and a dead snow blower = one VERY cranky husband.
Apparently our snow blower has been acting up lately (news to me...but then again I'm not a snow clearing kind of gal, LOL) and it chose TODAY, amid a foot of snow, to konk out completely. It's not a giant surprise expense...we've anticipated it's death for a long time because it's a small (2 cycle) snow thrower that we had at our old house when we only had a small flat driveway and sidewalk to clear. When we moved into our new house (with a larger/sloped driveway) five years ago, we knew it was too small for our driveway but we just couldn't justify buying a "big boy" snow blower (4 cycle) when we had one that worked...until this morning that is.
I was able to order one from Sears online this morning for in store pick up AND SR credit. Getting the van out of our uncleared driveway to pick it up was another interesting scenario, but he did get it out and off he went. We were lucky they had one in stock - and the one that's rated extremely well by consumer reports...and it was on sale.
I was very excited to earn SR credit for a big ticket purchase...and my DH is excited to finally have a big boy snow blower, LOL! Win win!
