    That's sounds like forethought and planning! Are you allowed to use those?

    The removal is easy with that tool. I did a flat nail remover/ pry bar. Dumb idea. I don't like ripping out the wood. Then I take my Kia and put sheets of osb or particle board on the roof. The kia part I dislike and hours involved. Strap it down and go. The worst is lifting bundles of shingles on the roof.

    Just invoke the 20/20 rule. If it looks alright at 20 feet and 20 mile an hour it's fine.

    Well crap looks like I should grab a can of diesel.

    Snow may come in tomorrow and may need to use the Kubota to clean the driveway and road. Road has one of lowest snow plow priorities in the county.

    Keri is going to jump on you but it's good you didn't get hurt worse.
    I took a couple falls a while back. First one only hurt my pride. Second one I was ok but it really scared me. Told my wife and should have kept my mouth shut. But now I'm very careful all of the time to be aware of any tripping hazards around. I'm 73 and us old farts don't heal as fast as we used to.
