sarameg, you're crazy brave for even getting up there. Glad you got rescued quickly!
Quizno's has really good broccoli cheese soup. I could go get some, but I'd have to put on outside clothes. So, probably won't.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It isn't bravery, it is necessity. And knowing I have neighbors to watch out for me.
But when I get a ladder (I borrowed this one) I'm fucking installing lock-down-able brackets on the roof lip.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
You concern me, sara.

And maybe I'm going to make another batch this weekend
Ooh maybe I will too! And, yes, what jesse said, it savory and filling enough not to need cheese although it's possible I t threw a cheese rind in when I was cooking it because I often do that.
Oh, sara, jeez!! Glad your neighbors are right there to rescue you!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The heat tape I installed on the furnace drain pipes in the attic works great. I haven't had to crawl up there once this winter, even though we've mostly been using the woodstove (which is when the furnace freezes, because, not hot). So I think it would be worthwhile for you to take preventative action if it's been a recurring problem.

How big a stack of amps do you need to be able to split wood with your axe?

It's only happened twice now in 5 yrs, but I'd prefer to avoid climbing on the roof as much as is possible.

I think it's safe to say that none of us want you climbing on your roof!

It's cool that you do it, though.

My desire to stay off the roof has more to do with preserving the surface and not having a NEED to go up there than anything else.
I spent a lot of time on the sloped roof of my childhood home (climbing trees to get there!)
