I’m sick and it is still snowing so I didn’t do the whole patio, but did scoop two paths for the dogs to reach some grass. Can’t do one because they will assume the other side would have been better and just hold it in.
Will need to redo them in a few hours when the dogs are ready to go again.
I’ve had luck with that on cars before having a garage made it not necessary, but the distance to the grass is long enough that it ends up being just as much work as shoveling.
