How about I don't clear the snow from the deck awning.
What? Oh no, people can get hurt  there. You are joking with me I hope. Why not?
It's hard to do that by myself.
I can see how that would be hard. It's okay to get help from someone else so that the snow can be removed.
I'm going to hire that landscaper that just came by to help me remove the snow.
Well, that sounds better. I admire your ways of asking for help when you need it. That tells me you care about things even if you can't do it yourself.
