Inspection and Permit Services

 

For those of you who know me, I am not a big fan of the cold. Seems like with every passing year, my mind, not to mention my body, avoids the entire concept whenever possible. Unfortunately, the one concept I cannot avoid is keeping the driveway and sidewalks cleared soon after a snowfall.

 

Now, we may be a month or two away from the beginning of snow season, but with the cooler weather, I cannot help but think of my sidewalk and what a wide crack did to my shovel last year. Not to mention the number it did on my back trying to clear it after each snowfall. I know I need a new shovel, but the real plan is not to fight this sidewalk another season by replacing the cracked concrete while there is still some time. Along with the new shovel, I'll spend less time out in the cold. Win, win, yes?

 

Another view? This is a courtesy to your neighbors and/or valued customers in business districts, not to mention that pesky code enforcement officer. So, please make the sidewalks in and around your home or place of business a priority after every snowfall.

 

The best part is that a cleared and safe sidewalk means when on a sidewalk inspection, I can stay in my car longer – out of the cold and in the warmth.

 

Enjoy the upcoming holidays,

Michael V. Pilotti
