I'm way behind on answering email.
I got the following email message
from someone in January:
I have a tall 2-story house. In order
to use a roof rake, I would need a 30
ft pole.
I could very feasibly take a hose to my
attic and spray hot water on the gutters
and lower portion of the roof and melt
the snow. However, at one online site, it
said not to use water. Why not? Any ideas?
I don't have an expert answer for this
person. However, the obvious answer might
be ice dams. You don't want to create
more ice than you already have if the outside
temperature is below 32 degrees.
