Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you have the weather to get outside and look at your dirt? Think about your planting plans?
I had my roofer come by to look at the 10’ icicles and the ice and snow buildup below the skylights. I know we help create the problem, but he knows we’re not giving them up so he needs to work around them. He went on the roof with BIG spikies on his boots. He shoveled off a bunch of snow, and used a GIANT ice pick to chip back the ice. When he came down he said they need to shovel off the whole roof, that it was a lot deeper than he thought....like as deep as his legs. So, later this week he will be back with his crew. He put ice melt on the worst ice edge and I’ve been hearing the crackling ever since. Sure glad I recognized the sound. LOL!
I’m glad to get it done now as we have had the ice dams back up under the shingles and into the house before. Proactive is key for me. Then in spring we will think about proactive before winter gets here again.
