I am astounded how much these companies want for this service.

Responses:

If it's between $30 and $40, that's common, at least around here. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 10:44
How much do they charge? -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 10:41 24
- 75 bucks per trip. - groiny Jan 6, 10:44 23
  - For that much you should get a snowblow as well -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 10:53 1

  - Wow. I have seen $25-30 around here. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 10:52
  - That's steep. Find a local kid lookin' to make a 20 -- nm - decline Jan 6, 10:47 12
    - Until he falls and busts his head open. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 10:52 10
      - I can just bury him under the snow, and worry about it in the spring. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 10:53 9

        shoveling the driveway was something i never minded doing. i would rather shovel for an hour than do 5 minutes of washing dishes. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 11:03 3
        
        Cray cray. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 11:18

        It would be a sound strategy, if not for that. -- nm - Ultron Jan 6, 10:55
    - *finger to nose* -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 10:48
  - To just shovel the drive and fling it in the garden? Completely cray cray. - Loyola Jan 6, 10:47
  - Shit, that's a lot. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 10:46
  - *pets his snowblower* -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 10:45 4
    - I've got an almost new one sitting in a storage locker. I think I used it a total of 10 times in 3 years - decline Jan 6, 10:53
    - that is what I am thinking as well. - groiny Jan 6, 10:46 1
      - I have the 28" version of this beast and she's glorious. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 6, 10:48
