Well I just want all the damn snow to go away and how it gets done is not important. I had to get my ladder and reach the most offending gutter with a rather large ice dam on it. I had installed some covers that prevented leaves from getting into the gutter, but it seems the end result may have been a problem. THe problem seems in this case that the snow melted and turned to ice and of course covered the slots in the cover. So , next thing I know I have these rather large ice sickles hanging down and well little ice sickles back under the over-hang. Of course I got ice running down the side of the house, so I could only envision ice forming between the walls etc. I do not believe this is the case, but I got my hammer and pry bar and went to war against the ice. Well I cleared all the ice from the cover, but I can't quite get it off yet. I think there is still a bit to frozen or something preventing me from removing it. I however think maybe these covers are not such a great idea. So, maybe I need a torch instead. grin. On Feb 18, 2010, at 2:50 PM, Spiro wrote:
