So, how about strapping a tank of OxyAcetylene to my back, with a hose
going over my shoulder and attaching to my cane. Spark the business end
of my cane, and I can sweep a nice clean path through the snow ahead of
me. Do you think it would work?

OK Guys (and Gals),
I'm planning to build a brick planter in front of my home this spring and have
a few questions. First, let me explain that my home has a 10 square foot
addition in front that comprises the dining room. This addition sits on a
concrete foundation that comes up about 1 foot
there is a solution to that, get a guide dog. hahah I like the idea though.
I'll tie something to the end of Dewey's harness that will plow the snow so
that when I go back home there is a snowbank and then the rest of the walk
is clean. hahah that would be great.

if your wanting to build a brick planter with bricks underneath then putting
rocks in the soil will help as it does in a pot to collect the water. if
you're just going to put the planter down with brick edging then you don't
need to worry about any drainage as the water will seap into the

Just a gut feeling here, but if you are talking about essentially burying
one foot of the wall of your house, and it was not designed to be
subterranian, you might be asking for some trouble.
Possibly if you build the brick wall close to the house, but not up
against it, so that there

Only problem I see with this idea is the amount of water you'd generate,
thereby flooding the path of least resistance.
In other words, you'd go from walking in 10 feet of snow, to swimming in 10
feet of freezing water.
Hmm, not much of a trade off.
Better stick with your original plan, that
Hmm, good point Victor. Although, two feet of snow does equate to a lot
less than two feet of water. However, this gives me a pretty good idea,

I wasn't clear if you'd planned on the planter actually having its back edge
being the wall of the house.
If so, it's a really bad idea as soil against a wall not designed for it is
a highway for water, mold, bugs etc.
You'll need a brick back wall with some seperation between the brick and the
chears

Let me assure you that I didn't intend to make the house wall part of the

the idea of having a narrow stone path between the house and planter.
