IT HAD TO BE DONE EVENTUALLY......
BEFORE AND AFTER
CLEARING THE SNOW OFF THE ROOF OF THE ASUNTOLA.

We have had so much snow and it was beginning to pile up dangerously on the roof of the asuntola. President Haikkola told us last night in our weekly temple missionary meeting that today was the day!
Wayne walks around with Matti to 'inspect' his sidewalks. He has invested a huge amount of time in shoveling those walks and he knows them well.....he wanted to make sure the guys did the job right! :-)
Two guys up on the roof.......no worries, they were harnessed up there good and safe.
A little closer look as they shovel away.......
Here is where the CHALLENGE comes in......all that snow is piled high on Wayne's sidewalks!
Blocked off at one end so no one will get hurt......that is a LOT OF SNOW!
Then.....how to remove it from the sidewalks.....you bring in a front-end loader! That is a slick way to get it hauled away......hauled at least to another part of the parking lot!
And it cleaned up pretty nicely don't you think.
I think we are on 'overload' as to what to do with more of the fluffy white stuff. And it is still snowing now......... :-)......still!!

  1. Vickie--thanks for the birthday wishes yesterday. Turning 60 was better than the alternative. I just had a ghastly thought. What am I going to follow when you and Wayne return home in May and "Our Finnish Mission" BLOG is officially done with??? Will you develop a new BLOG and let me add myself as a follower? Do tell! John--your cousin from afar!
