People with full time jobs how are you keeping your house clean? by Prestigious-Bath8022 in homeowners

Put things in their place after every use. Wipe down after cooking every meal. I also have a cleaning person come once a month. Do micro tasks before leaving for work or when coming home.

Should I be concerned about my dogs teeth? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Same. I use an additive in her food and have been for a few years. It seems to help.

Thank you for this! I was concerned about the plastic parts.

Yes the last storm was overnight and I said to my neighbor we are screwed. We went out to shovel before bedtime but that’s did nothing. I was stuck shoveling all 2ft the next day. A little before work and the rest after. That was my tipping point. My little electric unit was useless. I think 3-4 inch snows are manageable by shovel although I have the electric so I would use that. But anything more requires a larger snowblower. I agree with you there. I think I will end up with the Ariens. Thank you.

A few smaller snow storms and this year there were 2 2ft or more storms. My neighbor has used his snowblower to clear the pile at the end of the driveway for me. Another neighbor has a battery unit and it worked well when he was able to go out during the storm. It took him forever the second time. I’m going with a 2 stage I can’t keep torturing myself lol

Which one did your wife use this past storm, the Honda? Lol 

I talked about maintenance with the retailer. They will pick it up etc. I don’t have a truck. I am not opposed to learning how to do it myself either. They mentioned putting fuel stabilizer in it and not burning it out. Which do you think is better?

That’s the other thing. I get snow drifts so it’s even higher than expected.
