Househole Disasters Round #1

How about that ice, huh? I know everyone's got it this year: those magical icicles dribbling yellowish brown ooze down the sides of clapboards signifying ice dams and leaks. But we were fortunate enough to discover that not only was our north wall leaking into the utility room, but it was running down the wall right onto the electrical panel! All kinds of excitement ensued, with Bob heroically scaling ladders in the freezing rain to chisel channels to allow the ice to run off. A new neighbor even came over to help hold the ladder and offer moral support. Bob had to re-climb the ladder later to staple a tarp over the leaking section. I'm sure Martha Stewart would approve of our new decorating ideas.


Here's a tiny snow man instead of miserable ice damage. Enough is enough.
