You might be a redneck if the snow melts and you find a bunch of rounded line Chevy trucks :-\!
Chevy Heaven burried up to you know what.

Pics taken after three days above 40 degrees two of which it rained, one day above 50, & one day above 60 degrees. Car was not visible for 4 plus weeks prior to the 5 day melt down!
-
Where's the snowman? Let me guess, you plowed it over.
-
I haven't had time to build a snow man! When it started raining on and off for a week plus I stopped plowing, & spent 7 days strait shoveling roofs with a few hours of sanding tossed in here and there.
-
WOW !!!!
How long will it take for that to go away ?
-
I am geussing July. ::)
-
Well ! You wont have to cut grass for a while I guess.
Makes me want to build a fire. We had some storms blow through the last few days, tornado touched down about 30 miles east of me this morning.
-
dang thats alot of snow......how far up in nh r u??
-
Lakes region. You know N.H.?
I went up through the notch last week and they haven't got any snow. Talked to a couple people and they haven't had crap this winter. They both said 30 miles north above Twin Mountain they got dumped on almost as bad as us.
-
Thats some serious snow! Over here we can't remember what it even looks like ;D although it rains a lot!
I'd love to see some photo's when its all melted- thats some ground you have!!
-
Sweet! My snow is almost all finally melted due to all the rain we got. The front of my house faces north so it takes forever to melt.
I used to go to NH for my fireworks until it got difficult to get the really good ones anymore so lately we've been trecking to PA. What happened up there Blazin? Some tree hugger get elected or something?
-
Tree hugger?
Bitzer, this would have been a typical winter when I was a kid. We are only 6 inches or so from being the most snow in a winter since 1900.
-
The big fireworks crack down up there a few years ago... I heard some tree hugger got tons of fireworks banned and posed thousands in fines for sale or possesion of anything good. That's why we stopped going up there.
-
I didn't know there was a crack down. A buddy of mine gets some good ones in Newport N.H. Atlas Fireworks. There are a few others around too but don't know what they sell.
We had a mouthbreather flat lander burn a barn down in town last fall with fire works. He has a place in town, and rents the second floor as a apartment. He told his tenant " Not to close to the house, I don't want it to catch fire. Take them down back near the neighbors barn " Geuss what one flew into the bar somehow. Barn had about 1,000 bales of hay stored in it, woooof! I had my best freinds boy with me. He is an explorer on the fire dept. I was there within three minutes of the call going out. A few of the pics below.

lol, maybe that's why they did it! That's why it gets worse every year, too many turkeys. Everything we blow off is anchored down, fire extinguishers, hoses, safety gear etc. We put on a nice show every year but the good stuff is harder and harder to get. The thing I don't understand is now they made "fireworks" legal in CT but they're only fountains. The fountains are just tons of sparks really close to the ground lol makes no sense to me but anyway, sorry for the thread hijack.
-
Its OK. This moron got scared when the barn caught fire, & the fire dept. showed up. He took two big arm loads of fireworks and tossed them into his brush pile / camp fire trying to get rid of the evidence. So for the first 5 plus minutes of them being there they were all getting shot at with all kinds of fire works! They were still going off when I got there.
-
And I thought the guy was trying to help melt the snow!!!
-
Looking at this thread there doesn't seem to be a happy medium in N.H.
-
Tell me about it. Last several years we haven't got crap for snow, this year we get dumped on!
-
Well I can finally open the doors on all my parts / future projects trucks. Mid 60s last two days, & supossed to be 70 today.
WooWhooo ;D
-
Lets see some photos, Like in the first post. :D
I'm in the shop now getting the mower ready for the first grass cutting. The pollen is THICK and I hate cutting grass. Back 15 years ago it didn't bother me, but now after 25 - 30 years of painting, welding, smoking, engine exhaust and 15 years of Fire Fighting the pollen and I don't get along. Wear those respirator's People.
-
I can't cut grass I've had asthma all my life so life has its restrictions. Not many but fresh cut grass puts me down in seconds.
Back to Blazin's house- more pics of yr huge..........yard ;D
-
I know you have got to get sick of the snow occasionally, but I would love to see it innperson one of these days. We got a couple of inches of snow last Easter, but it was gone by about 3pm. Mostly just wind, sandstorms, and mud rain here.
-
wow, that's a lot of snow! i couldn't even imagine having my baby covered in all that snow...i'd be gettin frostbite making sure she stayed snow/rust free...
-
70 degrees and raining - but at least no more snow ;D I finally turned off the heater in my garage. ;)
I love NE winters but would hate dealing with the mud in spring.
-
I spent yesterday, & today raking around snow piles.
This pile is still about 4' tall, & 30' long!

How old is your house - I love it ;D There is something special about a NE colonial home ;D
-
Dude that is one huge house!! I could fit mine 3time into it and as for the land - extremely envious
-
it must have 40 windows--well, 38 if you have front and back doors
-
my Lord! that house is HUGE! nice place man! guess we know where the "73-87ChevyTrucks.com" meet is gonna happen at...hahah
-
I rent it. I would buy it but the guy wants way to much for it, plus there is no garage! It was built in the mid 1800's Not sure exactly. At one time it had about 500 acres, with 3 barns. Danbury was a cord wood / lumber, and dairy town.
They called it renovation but all they really did was a fluff and buff about 4 years ago. Allot of hack work done to it. It looks nice when you walk in if you don't know what to look for. No kick spaces under the cabinets. sprayed all the paint, so there is over spray all over the windows from the trim, & over spray all over the trim from the floors.
Its a slab house. built like a log cabin all the way to the peak, but out of 2x6s. The man that built it worked at a saw mill, he brought home all the seconds / short pieces, etc.
32 windows, three doors, & 3 acres of land.
-
To rent something like that over here would be appx £2000-00+ yes £ not $ per month. Can I ask how much you pay roughly p/month?
-
Bitzer, just come on over.

That's a nice lookin place there, Blazin. Must be fun trying to heat that big barn of a house though! ;D
-
Nice digs brother!
-
Bitzer, how much is 2000 pounds in us dollars?
-
£2000-00 sterling is about $4200 on current exchange rate. I have no idea how much the average wage is there or how much a house would cost!
-
The average working salary in America is $34,000. The average house costs right about $200,000.
A white colar professional will make around $70k and a decent house for a two-income professional family will cost around $350k in Virginia
The average monthly rent in central virginia is $900 monthly for an apartment, or $1400 month for a house. One of the duties of my position in my county is conducting the evictions. Our eviction numbers are way up there this year so far due to all the forclosures. Many others are losing jobs and apartment evictions are up as well. And Bitzer, here on this side of the pond, we law enforcer bobbies carry guns. ;D Clubs just dont cut it against someone pointing a semi-auto at you.
-
I pay $ 1,200 a month, more than I like but! When I rented it we needed 3 bedrooms, this place is 4. But now I am living alone. I thought about moving the end of this month when my lease was up. Looked at two places with garages, but the owners said no welders or torches, or heat in the garages. So I figure why have a garage if you can't use it. So I am staying here.
Heat isn't to bad as I have a wood stove. Plus being a slab house its pretty tight.
-
A 1bed flat would be $1200-00 a month!!
whats a slab house?
-

A house without a basement or celler - house sitting on a concrete slab.
-
holy crap, $4200 a month!! I bought a 3 bed 1 bath house in a nice neighborhood (for Shreveport) and my mortgage is $590 a month (bought it for $82,500), and it's a real nice ranch style slab foundation house. I've even got a big yard for being in the City, a hole half an acre. and $590 is high, where I grew up in Springfield, MO this house would have been like $75,000. A house like Blazin's down here would run about $900-$1100 range for a mortgage.

" Its a slab house. built like a log cabin all the way to the peak, but out of 2x6s. The man that built it worked at a saw mill, he brought home all the seconds / short pieces, etc. "
It has two basments. one in the rear left corner, about a 1/4 odf the house. Plus a root cellar under the front center area. The rest is crawl space.
-
My house has been valued recently at £210k which is about $400k dollars on current exch. I guess my whole boundary area is 12m x 25m including parking area and garden! No basement. Garage/workshop is 3m x 8m so the truck just fits with not a lot of room to work but its getting there!
I guess the average salary for a general worker is £20k and white collar is £45k+ I must be about the middle lol

Sweet place Blazin. Sounds like a right tight cabin about the size of a small barn. Land and houses are getting way too expensive out here in california. I like where I live, but don't see how I can afford to retire here.
-
Land has gone throught the roof here, and the property taxes are stupid as well.
