I should have know last night when I couldn't sleep that today would be shitty. And that thud wasn't ice falling off the roof, cuse the cat never flew off my bed at the sound of ice falling before. Well, life is never boring around here, that's for sure. Let's see... last time I posted here, I was worried we'd lose power. Thank goodness that never happened, but we did get an inch of sleet and 7 inch of snow. And it been COLD. No melting all week. and no getting of the Mountain either. At least, not with the vehicles we have. Yesterday dad and bro attempted to meet the FedEX man to drop off some pagajest...And promptly went in to the ditch half way down the Mountain which then took all day and the bulldozer to get out of. Yeah, that sucked. But today was even better!
That is the chimney. Chimney aren't suppose to go like. That is bad. VERY bad.
And there was 5 inchs of frozen ice on the roof (It use to be snow, but due to some rain we got yesterday it all froze into one big sheet of ice)
All that ice had to come off for us to get up there and fix it. That took most of the morning. It was slow, it was dangerous, and nerves were shot by the time it was over.
Thankfully, there was a quite fix at hand, or we'd be VERY cold in the house tonight.
Yay, quick chimney! The chimney also dented the roof coming down. That's a problem we haven't dealt with yet. >.>
So, the is liek a ton of ice and rubble sitting on the front door that has to be dealt with at some point, a dent in the roof and a temprory chimney rigged up out of the discarded corpses of other chimneys.
