THE ICE HOUSE


We live in an old drafty house. The place is sixty plus years old. Our furnace is living on borrowed time and we know it. While it does a fair job of heating up the place, the house does a lousy job of keeping the warmth inside. I guess we're lacking in the insulation department. Therefore icicles form on the outside eaves and gutters of the place in the winter. This year has been the worst we've ever seen them. ICICLES are EVERYWHERE. And with temperatures slowly on the rise, they're starting to melt and get dangerous. I got hit in the head  with one earlier today. So my job is going to be to take a shovel and see if I can dislodge as many as I can without getting hurt again. Do you have icicles at your house. What do you do to get rid of them???
