If you do -------- you've got to be very good, very careful or very lucky!

WOW :confused2: no way would I try that trick. And I'm pretty good at the controls of mine. One slip and you have a new skylight.

humm.... better not show the wife that trick, she might get to many ideas. :laughing:

That roof is only 2 or 3 years old too.

Replace the bucket teeth with some brushes and . . . . . .

I know some people that are good enough with a back hoe to do this. And I am far from being one of them.

It has teeth but most of it was done with the bucket curled and the sideswing.

No disrespect intended smiley, but I'd be inclined to agree with your wife:laughing:

I don't care how good I am or any of us are. This is way dangerous and not worth the time it saves. I would be more open if there was something on the end other then that bucket. I think am 8' 2x10 or something that could distribute the load of that arm better.
Now I've seen it all

It was definitely worth it and a lot less dangerous than 4 ft of heavy wet snow over the door, just waiting to drop!!!!!!!!!!!!
