Essentially, you’re standing on an icy surface while trying to shovel snow from a sloped roof. I would caution anyone about getting into this business unless you’ve had experience using fall arrest systems and/or you have experience in the roofing industry. You can be injured or killed if you fall off the edge of a roof – and it can all happened in a split second. Once you lose your footing on a snowy/icy roof, you have no chance at all to stop yourself from sliding over the edge. I’ll even go a step further and suggest that you not attempt to walk on any roof at all. There are alternate methods for getting rid of that snow and I’ll talk about some of them in this article.

Yes, it seems that more and more homeowners have taken the plunge (so to speak) and have decided to install a swimming pool, but are completely caught off guard by the amount of maintenance they require. Not only do they require a great deal of work in the spring (opening), and in the fall (closing), they also need to be maintained throughout the summer season. While a typical homeowner may do the work themselves, eventually they start asking if it’s the best use of their time. That’s where you come in: The pool cleaning entrepreneur. Continue reading »
