Four questions

Is that power or water that's coming through the cracked window of the house?

What do you use to push that pile around?

What do you figure the total cost for electricity and water to produce that much snow?

How do you use the slope? Set up a jump, just for sledding?

Probably just does it for the chicks that it rakes in. The lonely mom's who bring their children over during the daytime to entertain their kids. It's a genius idea.

PS- Thanks for the package, got it today. much appreciated

I'd hate to be your neighbor..

Are they cool with it? Or do they complain about the noise?

One more question(s)...

Where does all that snow go when it melts? Do you have to move it so it doesn't flood the basement?

Yeah, but it's not a snide answer if you look at it logically. Where's the fun in that?

ok... - i guess i didn't get the memo... well then... umm...
HA HA - HAHA -HA...
That better???

Back to my question... Do all that snow end up as water in the basement or do you have to move it...?

I don't move the snow and basically just let it melt. So far I've never had a problem with water from the melting snow getting into the basement.

No complaints so far although they do think I'm a little nutty! The operation as a whole is actually pretty quiet All the compressors and pumps are inside and the guns themselves are not loud at all, think HKD's. You can actually carry on a conversation standing right next to the gun.
