"Chris came out to the property on or about the 22nd of March.  After that I never heard back from him.  So, I sent an email through his website on  4-11-12 advising I never heard back from him and asked whether or not he was interested in the work.   (see below) 

I received an email back stating "Sent last week. Let me know if you can't find in inbox or spam folder." 

I sent an email to him again and said I had not received anything, and also said I dont get much spam because I have a Cox account. He sent another email saying "Please give me a call when you can. I'll give the information over the phone. I was wondering why you did not respond to my email. Now I know. You never received them." 

I responded with another email asking for him to send me another copy via email. I advised him I have an illness and would need to see it on paper and not by phone because I would not remember things accurately.

After that I cannot tell you what happened. I can only show the succession of emails as follows. I did not see these until the 13th when I went online to check email again to see if the estimate was sent to me per my request. This is what I found.
 
email response 1; "Here"
email response 2; "Sorry about that last email. Please give me a call at 5403148539"
email response 3; "Mr. Buesing. Please call me when you can. 540-314-8539 Thank you,
email response 4; "Give me a call when you can. Christopher 540-314-8539"

Please note, I did try to call him and his voice mailbox was full. I sent him another email and told him it was full so I could not leave any information.

I received another email the next day. "Can you send me you phone number? I'll call you".

This didn't make any sense because my email shows he received my name and information through his website. It recorded it and it says " wrote: ">[email protected]> wrote:  a form has been submitted on April 11, 2012, via: http://aaahandymanservice.com/contact-us/ [my IP addess] 
Your default form> Your Name    Moke Buesing > Email    Phone    540-xxx-xxxx > Message    Chris, I have not heard back from you regarding a quote for the Grayson Ave home. Were you interested in the work? Thank You > powered by cformsII 

(I removed my personal information so the world does not have my phone number)

He was a nice guy but I don't have a clue why business has to happen like this above. Could he not have sent the estimate via old fashion USPS? As of 4-14-12 1430 hrs I have not heard from him.

Snow Removal questions, answered by experts

Heavy amounts of snow could be a problem. In many climates, lots of snow on your rooftop can lead to freeze-thaw cycle that create ice dams, which can damage rooftops. But if you’re using shingle clips, this snow poses an additional problem: As it melts and freezes, it can easily dislodge clips you’ve placed on your roof.

You can clean snow off your roof after a fresh snowfall while it’s still lightweight, but brushing off snow can also dislodge your clips. If you get a lot of snow, then roof clips become less viable.

Using a snow blower can make removing snow easier if you have physical limitations and a large area to cover. Snow blowers can remove large amounts of snow quickly, which can also save you time. However, shoveling can be efficient for smaller areas with light snow. The method you use will depend on the specific situation and your preference. Of course, you can skip doing it yourself and stay out of the cold by hiring a snow removal company near you.

Some commercial services use sand when clearing ice, but that’s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won’t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.

The best snow removal tools include a snowblower or a plastic shovel since they're less likely to damage your driveway's surface. Metal shovels can crack asphalt and concrete. It's also a good idea to install driveway markers since they can make it much easier for you to identify where you should shovel without damaging the surrounding yard. 

Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.

You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn’t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.
