Anyone have a room to rent cheap?! Just temporary, mind you.

I can't take much more of this. Another 6" from the latest storm, with a nice crunchy coating of ice on top. My unheated garage now has about 3' of snow on the roof, the house has close to that. Even when it's not snowing, it's too cold for it to melt. Except... I have ice dams at the gutters and the heat escaping from the house is melting the ice. The water is dripping down inside my walls - and coming out in my kitchen!!

My 8HP snowblower will barely throw the snow high enough to get it over the pile that's already there. The mail truck didn't even slow down when it went by my house today. That's either because she had nothing for me - but more likely because she couldn't see my mailbox which is literally buried under a 4' snowbank.

I don't mind the cold (much). Don't mind snow either, usually. But this is Just. Too. MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And about the room rent... I can cook a little and I can also bring Pearls and split-tops if that helps. :laugh: Oh, and I promise to be gone as soon as the snow here melts - or it gets above 80° at your place. :)

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    The rent is cheap, but you just might be called upon to paddle when the boat runs out of gas! HaHaHa......................

    Morning Mike:

    No room at the moment...my mother is down from Illinois and refuses to go back until the snow there clears...I guess that means she'll be here for a while :(

    Have a GREAT day!
