| Questions:
|
| Would some other kind of insulation a)be possible and b)improve the
| situation for the future of this room? Heating wise, we use/heat this
| room for approximately 12 hours a day and close it off after dinner
with
| lovely plastic accordion doors and close the heat vent.
|
| Would the heating cables along the edge of the roof be a good solution
| for this small expanse, maybe 14 feet? There is an outdoor light,
which
| I despise, mounted at a corner and would happily see it turned into
an
| outlet for wires with a switch just inside on the wall.
|
| Read in the paper today about a metal roof snow slide? Anyone have a
| ballpark on what that might cost for this small area, and does it seem
a
| reasonable idea in this situation?
|
| For the immediate moment, meaning tomorrow being the one day
| accountant/it's-tax-season mister will be home, we want to make some
| serious headway with the ice dam itself. I read about making the
| pantyhose filled with melt chemicals, and wonder can we just spread
the
| chemicals out all along the ice dam and clear the whole thing off over
| the course of the afternoon, instead of just creating the drainage
| channels? The height is very low, so we'd be able to reach it all from
| the edge with the stepladder. Is there any reason not to spread the
melt
| stuff around on the dam?
|
| Any other suggestions, besides the very helpful ideas of moving or
| demolishing the room, would be appreciated.
