For the last 2 days, I've spent the better part of the day trying to clear out my driveway. We finally got a MAJOR snow fall. I measured anywhere from 16 to 24 inches depending on where in the driveway I measured.
So, setting free my inner geek.....
My driveway is 30'x50'= 1500ft/sqr plus I cleared a horseshoe shaped path that averages 11 feet wide and 145 paces long.
18 paces = 50'(I measured) so,
145 paces = 402.75' Ill say 403'
403'x11'=4433 ft/sqr
plus
1500 ft/sqr of driveway = 5933ft/sqr
5933 times an average depth of 1.75'= 10,382.75 cubic feet of snow moved.
10,382.75 divided by 27 = 384.5 cubic yards of snow
When I was younger I worked for a excavation and demolition company. Our large dump trucks had a 30 cubic yard box on them.
So, did I really move 12.8 dump trucks full of snow with an 8 horsepower snow blower? No wonder I'm sore.
The new house has a wood burning fireplace, so I made a rack to store some wood.
The sunsets up here in the north land are fantastic!
I did do something motorcycle related...
I ordered some Kawasaki body panels in Candy Lime Green.
I'm going to replace the stock black side grills with matching green.
New Grills:
Before Grills...
The "after" shot will have to wait until I can get to the bike!
Man I am so glad I live here and not where you live. Motorcycle riding is a year round event here with winter being 2-20 deg C. Looks like -15 Deg C where you are in winter.
ReplyDeleteLets see the ZX with the new panels.
Looking at the math, and thinking my drive is about 30' by 200' makes me really glad I have a son with an ATV and plow and a perpetual love of being out in the cold! Thanks for the calculations.
