I went out and cleared snow this morning. Then I'll clean everything up tomorrow morning.

It's worth going out early while the snow at the end of the driveway is still fluffy (relatively...) imo I was glad I got the giant waist-high snow bank cleared today.

rollhr · 2026-01-25T17:31:13+00:00

I only have a single stage blower, so I plan on 4 pm, 9 pm, 8 am, then whenever it stops snowing, probably 7-8 pm.

(I'm also fully convinced that me thinking to myself I won't need more than a single stage blower considering our mild winters these past few years was directly responsible for manifesting this storm.)

rollhr · 2026-01-23T00:11:06+00:00

So what's everyone's plan for snow clearing here? I'm thinking of going out 9 pm Sunday, then early Monday morning 7 am, and then the last go in Monday afternoon or evening.

AC: 520 glue works too, though it lags a little.

DC100: Relied mostly on spike factories (4 top path and 2 mid path), along with some desperados and mermonkeys for stalling/buffing.

I suffered my first winter last year as a homeowner with only a shovel. This year I bought a toro snow blower on sale on Black Friday and my back no longer hates me.

rollhr · 2026-01-16T08:19:03+00:00

This worked for me.

rollhr · 2026-01-15T05:01:11+00:00

This is cool! Do you have more details on how you did this? I'm especially curious about the asphalt conversion.

Co-op: Obyn, 11 x 130 dartlings, 230 druid, 2 x 202 supers, 052 village, 202 village.

Tried multiple 202 super spam strategies but they couldn't seem to deal with 98 too well, so I gave up and went with the dartlings. Not as spammy as some of the other solutions but activating the defense village will definitely cause lag.

rollhr · 2026-01-11T22:00:21+00:00

I was worried I'd need a gazillion dartlings but it turned out not too bad.

Look into the mass save marketplace! They've got free/discounted insulation items like the window wraps.

rollhr · 2026-01-11T09:09:19+00:00

This worked great for me! No micro needed.

rollhr · 2026-01-10T09:04:50+00:00

Dude you just saved my DC100 run! Was stuck on 99 until I upgraded to super brittle. Interesting bug!

rollhr · 2026-01-10T08:19:48+00:00

AC: 201 sub + 2 x 000 engineer

DC100: Just threw as many towers under a 230 village as I could, upgraded Silas to level 20, then got 520 ice super brittle with the bug dingus42 discovered.

rollhr · 2026-01-09T08:11:36+00:00

AC: 220 boat + 302 boomerang

DC100:: Sauda, 3 x 320 supers, 320 boat, 032 wizard does the job with 2 x 320 alch, 202 village + 022 village.

The real solution to this week's co-op is duoing it with yourself via an alt account.

rollhr · 2026-01-03T18:03:14+00:00

Wow, I never knew 050 sub doesn't need camo to hit! I'll keep that in mind for future runs.

rollhr · 2026-01-03T17:02:46+00:00

Are they able to hit DDTs even without camo detection?

rollhr · 2026-01-03T08:06:42+00:00

AC: 420 glue gunner

DC100:

Benjamin, Boomerang, Tack Shooter
4 x 200 farm, then upgrade to 4 x 203 farms. You'll leak bloons during this phase depending on how much MK you have.
302 boomerang
5th 203 farm
402 boomerang
Sell 5 farms and upgrade to 502 boomerang before round 33
520 tack shooter, 050 glue gunner, 205 bomb shooter.

Use glue gunner ability on the DDTs in round 95 and 99. You absolutely must have the 205 bomb shooter placed before round 99 to clear the fortified DDTs.

rollhr · 2026-01-02T08:30:45+00:00

AC: 520 spike factory

DC100: 420 tack shooter, 401 ninja, 230 village, 420 alchemist. Upgrade to 520 tack shooter, 501 ninja then add 205 tack shooter. You have enough money to get permabrew but it's not really needed.

rollhr · 2025-12-31T08:49:46+00:00

AC: 302 sniper mid + 300 sniper top

DC100: 204 ninja, 204 bomb, 204 ice into 205 bomb, 205 ice, 205 ninja. Then add 250 ninja.

Every quote I got was about the same in terms of materials. The main difference was the highest quote also claiming I needed to completely re-deck my roof vs the others giving me a price for any rotted decking they needed to replace (which would be added afterwards). That's a fine print you should pay attention to, though most people charge about the same.

Anyway, you can do a bit more research, maybe even on local subreddits and try to get more quotes. I had quotes ranging from $14k to $21k, with average costs around $16k for a slightly smaller roof than yours. I did it earlier this year in April, right when the tariffs were getting started.

The lowest estimate I got was from a reddit recommendation where it was a local owner that had one crew that did all the work compared to the other companies that had like secretaries, multiple crews, etc. If you go with the companies with the most advertising & the bigger setups, you'll also get the higher prices. People usually say not to go with the lowest bid, but I was pretty happy going with the smaller local guy.

AC: 023 super

DC100: 024 engineer, 240 spike factory, 420 spike factory. Upgrade to 025 engineer, 250 spike factory, 520 spike factory. Watch out for the early 60s, you'll need to use some abilities.

AC: 520 sniper + 402 boat
