No, that $100 was the price to do it 40 times per winter. I just left that number in there as I think the cost of doing it once or twice wouldn't be 1/40 or 2/40.

A few of us on the street talked about doing that. The guy who works construction and often brings home equipment for use in his yard said we couldn't use his stuff because if he starts plowing without a permit he could get a huge fine.
