[Electronics-Talk] Staying straight with the electric snow shovel

[Annette Carr]

Hi Tracy,

I do not have any ideas on what you can do this season, but here is an idea
you might want to consider for next year.  Keep in mind that I haven't a
clue how this shovel works, so maybe what I am about to suggest can't even
be considered.  

What about putting some type of edging along your sidewalk.  Of course one
option is a raised brick boarder, but that can get pricey.  Another option
might be the plastic edging that people place around the edge of plant beds
in their yard.  I do not know what this stuff is called.  It comes in
possibly a roll or strips.  Think of a horizontal 4 inch tall strip of
plastic that is fairly ridgid but thin.  Along the top edge is a rolled
edge, or maybe it looks like a tube attached to the top edge.  The flat edge
opposite the rolled edge gets pushed into the ground and the rolled tube
like edge sticks out above the dirt.  

HTH,
Annette

I recently bought an electric snow shovel, which is really a mini snow
blower.  It is totally accessible, quite similar to our electric lawnmower.
My only problem was keeping a straight line.  I kept ending up with ridges
between shoveled parts.  The grass line is covered with snow, so it's hard
to find.  Also, with an ordinary snow shovel, there's some feedback when it
hits the grass, but the same feeling isn't transmitted up the handle of the
electric snow shovel.

Does anyone have a solution to shoveling straight?

Tracy
