    I hope it heals fast. You will have to watch you dont slip on the ice. Glad your wife is helping you out. That should make things move along faster.

    My son and I got up there last year having about 3 feet of snow all around with deeper sections from the wind. I raked some this year already because we had a foot, then sleet changing to rain that was simply soaked up in the existing snow, than another 18" fell, which being November snows, the chit was heavy. It's a pain in the azz, but better safe than sorry.

    I hope your ankle feels better. Your better half will likely do a nice job. Say hi to her for me. Rest up! :)

    bear 1998 heal quickly,
    let me give an explanation as to why i I don't shovel roofs..
    so everybody understands.
    First most of my houses are older and a lot of the snow melts and becomes ice quickly. And I will throw some salt up there to help melt the ice if it becomes excessive.
    But understand how insurance companies work. Most of the time it's the insurance company paying thousands of dollars in advertising to tell people to shovel their roofs. Why?
    Because if the roof collapses the insurance companies liable. And have to pay for the repairs including a new roof. If you get up there with a steel shovel or whatever and put a hole in your roof and it causes a leak. The insurance company has zero liability to replace your roof and most insurance companies won't even pay for the water damage on the inside. This was explained to me by a very recently retired insurance salesman.
    Obviously safety comes first.

    Put my lowcut boots on to take some mail to the box and slipped and fell on a snow covered patch of ice. Hit my head on the concrete driveway but no blood and nothing broken. When I got back to the house I figured it was a good time to put my stretch cleats on those boots. Much gooder now.

    21F here clear & no wind, beautiful night. Finally busted out a little Oak to load the boiler just to see how it does. Smallish splits made for the old furnace, dry as popcorn. 4 yrs I think. We'll see what's left in the morning.

    Back from the Caribbean. Went from balmy 80’s and sleeping in shorts to getting home just at midnight. 29 degrees and back in flannel.

    I let the boiler burn down and will do an ash clean-out in the morning. It is at 129 degrees, so the new fire won’t take long.

    I ordered some FHC super cedars and thought they would have arrived while I was gone. Will have to fire it up the usual way.
