Let it grow long with trims only twice a year. It was a cost issue mainly. I figure my husband of 25 years never notices what I do with it anyway so I'll just focus on keeping it clean. Saved so much money over the years and even able to give up my blow dryer and curling iron.

I haven't heard that it is but that really isn't surprising since I live a long ways away. If it is just normal and slightly above average, then I have to wonder about the initial construction process. Without waiting for an answer, I'm guessing your answer is going to be just a lot more snow in a short time period than you are used to getting. Hopefully the fix will work through a similar snow amount in the future.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-57861489743536869752018-03-19T18:32:30.495-04:002018-03-19T18:32:30.495-04:00there is a thing which will easily slide snow off ...there is a thing which will easily slide snow off your roof. i think i saw it on the deliberate agrarian web site. it is a plastic sheet on a stick apparatus and the snow slides right down it. don't stand in front of it.<br />please look it up.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-39443967693834188152018-03-19T18:02:57.830-04:002018-03-19T18:02:57.830-04:00Maybe the next house should be an A frame chalet? ...Maybe the next house should be an A frame chalet?
