So I live opposite of a thin car tunnel that goes through a building behind which there's parking lots. It's the only way in and out.
And guess how many people ignore the no parking sign and park... RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TUNNEL... I mean I have a fart for a brain, but these guys operate vehicles and have bloody zilch for brains. It's happened so many times and I have my window facing it so I always see when some schmuck parks in that tunnel blocking everyone from passing.
What if someone has an emergency and needs to go to the hospital? Bloody morons...
Ice damn in the corner of my roof where it juts over my kitchen and meets the siding. I found the leak in the downstairs bathroom and thought it must be the upstairs tub, but that's offset by about six feet. A little investigation, and I found the ice dam "perfectly" sloped into the corner on the northeast side where sun can't reach in the winter. They're usually not an issue around here because we don't get prolonged snow cover or consecutive weeks below freezing, but this year is the exception. And most roofs are sloped enough to mitigate it, but this short, lower roof is more on the flat side.
The good news is that my showerhead hose was long enough to extend out the upstairs bathroom window, onto the roof in question, perfectly angled toward the problem corner. It made an ungodly mess but that bitch is melted! The leak downstairs dried up immediately, so I'm hoping no more than a piece of flange is needed in that corner come springtime. I need a new roof right now like I need a hole in head.
