Winter Prep Roof

 Well, Today is Sunny and bright, not too cold, 27 degrees an NO wind !!   SO,  I called my new Handy Man Wade to see if he could clear off the Roof,  There is quite a bit of snow up there, (over 2 feet) so down he came with his ladder and shovel,

Wade up on the Roof,  This side of the house had T Lock Shingles on the upper side and on lower side where he is standing is rolled Half Lap and the pitch is slightly under what I would like !  He pushs his shovel into the snow in 3 places and grabs a 2+ square foot of Snow and chunks it off the roof.

All the Snow shoveled off as we are supposed to get hammered again starting tomorrow with a lot of Snow. This picture shows the Ice accumulation on the edge of the Roof and in the Eves trough,  Wade hammered several exit paths for melting water to run off the rood so it does not "Back Up" and leak into the house.    Next year this edge will be "Pop Up"       Metal panels,  2 foot X  2 Foot square so when Ice builds up it pops off.

Front sidewalks in our area are cleared out but here in Deferiet most people walk in the Street,  they do not have or do not want to enforce a Sidewalk Law on having to shovel your walk !!!

Inside to eat, Nice Fresh Air, Sunshine and Cold,   so we had  Shrimp cooked in Bacon Fat then Onions and Garlic added,  Grits with white American cheese melted an cooked into it and fresh cooked Bacon crumbled on it all topped with Orange slices !!    Delicious !  I Love Grits with Butter an dash of Salt !

Break Time SO:  Down to the Basement, Fire up the Fire Place and sit back and relax, can't take a nap in this chair because it would be  rough on the neck !!!
