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.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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!

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

Ha, Tom, maybe mythbusters needs to tackle this one.

Also, now? Falling ladders.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I would like to both change into pajamas and get under the electric blanket, but I'm waiting on a delivery. He called at 12:30 and said it would be half an hour.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I need to bundle up and go to Walgreens, but then I'm staying in pajamas at home the rest of the day.
