Watching Daddy Clear Ice Dams


Photo-A-Day #3608

I was out on the roof smashing up ice dams while Andrew and Mimi watched. We had some water damage during the last little thaw and it was well past the time to do something about it. I came home from work and slept for a pretty long time. Mimi took care of Andrew for the day and it wiped her out. When I woke up it was not too cold so I climbed out on the roof with a shovel and started to shovel off the snow. Eventually I cleared most of the snow and then started placing the panty hose filled with ice melt. I also took a hammer to the ice and smashed up some channels that I hope take care of the leakage that we had on Sunday night. We have a little bubbling happening in the living room and I hope that doesn’t get any worse.
