The daughter owns the condo and is in her 20's. Her mom lives with her and has 2 other daughters that come over almost everyday. None of them have any disabilities. That's who usually clears the snow. I'm not clearing snow just for kicks. It's a business and it costs money. There are 35 condo's in this complex. I put a bid in to clear everyones stalls but the condo board decided that people can clear their own parking stalls. If I clear it free for one neighbor, what happens when the next neighbor wants it for free, and the next? There is no excuse for pushing the snow in our stall and piling it behind my truck. I spent $500 getting the charging system on the skid steer fixed, $500 for liability insurance, $200 for a new tire, $2600 for a new wheel motor, etc. in addition to buying the machine in the first place. How am I supposed to pay for all of this if I don't charge anyone? We were acting like neighbors. No former contractor even offered to clear peoples stalls. The condo board wanted me back this year because I did such a good job last year and could do it right away. In the past they've had to wait 3 or 4 days for a busy contractor to show up. Is it so hard to believe that I have lousy neighbors? They don't even park in their parking stall. The daughter parks in the garage. The whole reason these people are acting like they are is because they don't like that I park there. It is a tight fit for 2 vehicles and when the other daughters come over, they like to park in the middle of the 2 stalls. If I'm parked in my spot, it's a bit of a tight fit. I even started backing in so I could get closer to our garage to give them more room. I was about a foot away from the center line and my mirror was almost hitting our garage. When these people park there when I'm not, they are usually parked right on the line a foot and half away from their garage so I can't park there. They even told the people on the other side of them park in their spot on weekends and they park 6" into my stall. There is a dedicated visitor parking area but it's 300 ft. away and the other daughters never park there. They pull up and park in the laneway, which they aren't supposed to. Quite often right behind my truck so I can't get out if I need to. We've knocked on their door several times but they won't answer it. The neighbors on the other side went away last winter but gave me money to keep theirs and their elderly neighbors parking stall cleared. They thought $15 per stall was more than reasonable. They said if a kid came by trying to make some extra money, they'd pay at least $15 and probably $20, just so they wouldn't have to do it. Dave

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
