This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Homesteading.

For this BB, you will be removing snow from a roof safely!

Here are a couple of related videos:




To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - the roof with snow on it
 - part way through safely removing snow from your roof
 - the roof after you've removed snow from it

I took snow off the roof of the greenhouse. Hopefully, the sun will shine again someday.

I used a long handled scoop to get the snow off so I wasn't climbing up anywhere. Feet safely on the ground the whole time.
