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

[cheez]

Annette, good ideas, but if he were to use the plastic edging, don't you 
think the snow could cover that if it were to pile up?
And also, an HOA may not allow any adaptations made to the property.

I still think he ought to start from the wall and make his way out to the 
sidewalk.

Man, I'm glad I don't have to worry about snow.
