i lived in downtown chicago highrise condos for roughly a decade and didn't touch a shovel once.
we now live in a condo 3-flat in a city neighborhood. we could hire a snow service to shovel our sidewalks for us (and some small condo buildings actually do that), but i'm a bit too able-bodied and thriftiness-minded to pay someone else to do what i can easily do myself (and i actually kind of enjoy snow shoveling in a weird way, if you can believe it).
so me and my neighbor upstairs made a little deal. because he hates cold weather and shoveling, i told him that i would take care of shoveling the sidewalks all winter if he would take care of all of the yard work in the other 3 seasons (feeding, mowing, raking, etc.). he agreed to it, so i feel like i made out like a bandit!
