“Tire Chain” Walkway
 ✖  |
“With winter coming on I thought I’d share this idea with your readers,” says Chuck Hampe of Berkeley Springs, W. Va. “It seems like everything in West Virginia is on a hill, so in winter it gets slippery. To help keep my wife and myself upright when walking to the shed, I made a ‘chain path’.
“After shoveling out snow to make a path, I hooked up some old tire chains end-to-end and then placed them in the path. The chain sinks into the snow a little, and the sun heats the chain and melts the snow around it just enough to keep it in place. The next time it snows I just clean the chain off. Whenever there are long periods without sunshine I use a small torch to heat the chain.”
