Shovels are $8 at your local hardware store. Buy a couple and get to work.

Are you shopping in the toy section for an $8 shovel?

Yup. Young couple, 2 shovels, and an hours work they will be done. Or just wait 2 days and it will have melted to the point it doesn’t need plowing.

Did you dense motherfuckers see the part where they said they have no way of getting out of their driveway. How do you expect them to buy a shovel when they can't get to the store?

Door dash will deliver from tractor supply, or Walgreens, or dollar general all of which carry shovels. AND WHAT KIND OF DENSE MOTHERFUCKER DOESNT OWN A SHOVEL IN FUCKING VERMONT YOU FUCKING MORON!

I do completely agree they should own a shovel, or better yet a snow blower. But that's beside the point. OP asked for help finding someone to plow their driveway, and instead of offering help you chose to be deliberately obtuse

No I offered a permanent solution which is not reliant on others. It’s Vermont. If you can’t shovel your driveway you shouldn’t live here. End of story. And if your driveway is too long to shovel then you should own a tractor or big snow blower. Imagine if the thing wasn’t snow… they post on here our house cleaner left town without telling us and now our trash is piling up and the sink is filled and flowing over. We would tell them to do the dishes and take out the trash. This is no different. My lawn guy left town and now my lawn is too high we would say go mow the fucking thing. No different. A person should be able to on their own (unless elderly or disabled) maintain the inside of their house and the outside. Specialty things like carpentry or plumbing hire someone, but if it’s a task that a 9 year old neighbor kid does for $10 then it’s a task that any homeowner should be able to do without help.

Me and my finance shoveled yesterday. Because our plow guy wasn’t coming until today, part of being a responsible adult and parent is not relying on anyone for anything. I’m sure there are very charitable people in Vermont that will help you out…. Posting this on your towns community Facebook page would get you results I bet. More importantly when you get out of your stuck situation go to the hardware store buy at least a shovel. It sucks that’s why most of us who work in this weather and then come home and move the snow themselves hate this season. Lol
