Mr Plow ( a human powered snow removal machine)

For the past week and a half, (watch out for those side walks!?!?!? Today I slipped and fell on an ice patch I did not see. And no, I am not going to sue some one because of it. So shooing away those ambulance chasers..) there has been some where in my neighborhood of Vancouver near 39th and Main street about an average of 1.5 foot with some small drifts.

Roads were ice at times, slush at times and other times, ice prone.

So when I can across this little idea from Mr. Plow who recycled an old garden tractor-mower, added a bicycle chain and gear system, he was able to use his own power with a nice, small scraper to clear out the snow.
