I shoveled part of my roof the other day and had a neighbor shovel another section for me. I tried to melt the ice and remove it. The ice dams are crazy, i have two leaks now. One over the tub, not too bad. The other is dripping on my breaker box. SO i removed the gutter yesterday. Im not sure if i should put up new gutters this weekend or wait till spring. Any body care to chime in on it.
Had a similar problem while away on business. I came home to find a "faucet" running down the backside of my bow window.
Well I borrowed a snow rake because you can't buy one for any money right now. Got some of the snow off and used a 3# rubber hammer and broke up the ice dam over the window. Problem solved....for now.
I spend the better part of yesterday afternoon moving snow with the bucket loader. Thank God I have it. i don't know what you guys without one are doing. I have piles 12 to 15 feet high.
