How long do you leave a choke on a snowblower?

• <div><p>When starting the engine, you typically leave the choke on a snowblower in the "choke" or "closed" position. After starting, let the engine run for a few minutes to warm up. Then, gradually open the choke, moving it to the "open" or "run" position, allowing more air into the engine and transitioning to a normal fuel-air mixture. The exact duration varies based on the snowblower model and ambient temperature, but as a general rule, you should open the choke once the engine has stabilized and runs smoothly, typically within a few minutes.</p></div>

Q: How long does snow removal take?

• <div><p>Time varies based on the property size and snow depth, but most jobs take 1-3 hours.</p></div>

Q: Does rubbing alcohol get rid of ice?

• <div><p>Rubbing alcohol may also remove ice from your driveway in a pinch. It has a lower freezing point than water, which expedites the unfreezing process. Pour 70 percent isopropyl alcohol into a quart or half-gallon spray bottle and spray it on your driveway. You do not have to dilute it with water.</p></div>

Q: How do you winterize your landscaping?

• <div><p>The process to winterize your landscaping depends on the plants you have, but generally speaking, you should rake your lawn to avoid leaves from smothering your grass and leading to mold and fungi growth, wrap young trees to protect from fluctuating temperatures, and fertilize your lawn to provide some nutrients for the grass through the colder temperatures. You can also consider marking off small trees and shrubs to avoid accidentally damaging them with snow removal tools.</p></div>

Q: What is the easiest way to remove snow from a roof?

• <div><p>The easiest way to remove snow from a roof involves using a roof rake that allows you to clear snow from the ground. Roof rakes are lightweight and feature adjustable handles, making them user-friendly for most people. This method also helps prevent ice dams and excess snow buildup, reducing the risk of roof damage during winter months.</p><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-remove-snow-my-roof.htm">When should you remove snow from your roof</a>? A good rule of thumb is once six inches of snow accumulates. </p></div>

Bill and his son, Ethan, were courteous in their language and mannerisms, clean-cut, prompt, and prepared to do the job. They hauled large items out of the garage, were willing to climb up and remove items from the rafters, check out a crawl space, and sweep up. We would highly recommend them.
