    I know I'm late but I just wanted to say that I have dealt with manic depression since I was thirteen and nothing has ever motivated me to get things done like your videos do. I am able to watch you and think to myself "let's just try to get one thing done like Hannah!" and it ends up letting me get way more done too. Anyways you're just such a lovely person and I so appreciate your videos. 🤍

    Your roof needs to be insulated more than walls to keep the warm side warm and cold side cold. Also a vapour barrier to keep the heat from escaping. I live in Yukon. We get lots of snow lately. Winter always a struggle.

    My father used to build us a skating rink every year. He found that building the ice in thin mist like layers made the ice solid with no air pockets and holes in it.

    If snow is melting on your roof, there are two possibilities: the external temperature is rising, or your roof is not enough insulated from inside.

    • @heartattackjack9349
      @heartattackjack9349 2 года назад +17

      Insulation. Lack of, and lack of ventilation along the underside of the roof. If the roof angle has been incorporated into the build, there will need to be better care of the shingles due to heat transfer through the roof. Snow can be an insulating blanket, but if there is a heat transfer to that snow, it will melt.

    As a Minnesotan who lived way too many years battling ice dams, they are crazy hard to deal with. One particular winter, we went away for a week and came back to ice dam hell. I filled panty hose with salt melt and laid them over the dams to create a channel to let the water drain off. And it worked but not before the water did go up under the shingles and we got water in the house. They are a frigging nightmare. Good luck and keep up with the raking. And definitely get some insulation. ❤️

    The only reason I know about ice dams is that I’ve watched a ton of This Old House. Lots of attic insulation and modern roofing materials greatly decrease the chances of it occurring. As for the ice rink, the ground warming up underneath is melting it from the underside. Ice rinks are poured on top of sand. If you put down pond liner and sand next year it might do better.

    Little helpful advice for warming up your truck faster in winter and cooling it faster in summer. Open your driver window a half inch and turn heat/AC on full blast.

    Hannah the fastest way of getting the snow off the roof is to get a moderately strong rope and a plastic 50ml bottle. Fill the bottle with water and leave it overnight to freeze. Tie rope to bottle. Throw bottle over roof. One person either side of rope and hacksaw underneath snow across roof and snow will slough off the roof. Do that with all the roof. Should take no time or energy at all.

    The roof heats up and water works it way down . But once the water gets over the eaves the roof in longer heated so the water freezes causing a dam. The water backs up and finds its way into anything that isnt sealed. Thats why on some houses they put heated elements on the eaves. Anyway have fun

    Girl get yourself some cast iron pans and start cooking on the wood stove! It will save you a ton on propane when you're already heating the house with the stove. Cast iron is the best (healthiest) to cook with. Plus, it will last your whole life with proper care. I have all cast iron now and love it for everything from making sourdough bread, to stir fry, pies, you name it!

    Last winter 🥶 during Texas Arctic blast I had ice damming on two parts of my roof. My roof is still not fixed. I had my roof leak in two places, 2 pipes burst, and my ceiling cave in, in two places. It’s been a year and a month still going through construction. Love your videos. I have a migraine today. It made me smile. Y’all are too cute 🥰. Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

    Lol! Love that you guys are enjoying the roof rake! They became so popular here in Connecticut in 2011 because we had these huge series of snow storms that caused a lot of people with flat roofs to cave in. Then everyone ran out to get one. At that point, we couldn't find one in stores anymore, so I got my Dad one off of Amazon and he was out using it every storm even though our roof isn't flat.

    Winter is hard but spring is SO close now. Currently we are tapping trees for sap and syrup making. It's the best way to round out the end of a long winter, keeps you busy and before you know it. BOOM. Spring.

    I live in Wisconsin and know about roof water damning. I used a roof rake to clear the snow off of the eaves but that just moved the problem further up the roof. I ended up shoveling off the whole roof. Then in the summer I put Ice and water guard under the shingles five feet up from the eaves .

    Hannah, for next year:
    Create an embankment around the area with the snow you shovel, leaving a gap to walk through. Use a light spray nozzle on your hose and mist over the embankment on a really cold night to "set" it. DO NOT USE A TARP. For one thing it creates air gaps which crack your ice; for another it doesn't really protect your yard. Several thinner layers will create denser ice because water expands, and it's also self-leveling. This will also use less water and won't damage your yard as much in the spring. When you use your Zamboni stick-thingy, splash small amounts of warm (not hot) water from a bucket and work in smaller sections. This can be done just as easily with either an industrial-sized scrubbing broom (think Carol Burnett) or some sort of deadman (T-shaped broom handle thingy) with a towel wrapped around it. Girl, you work too hard! It's one of the things I admire about you though. When you're done skating you can use the tarp to cover your ice. So you don't have to shovel it twenty times a day. And make everybody help you pull it over FFS! Sometimes I watch Hannah doing all the work with everyone else just staring at her. 😆
    I grew up in the Great Lakes region and this video made me so homesick! We'd have an igloo at one end for warming up, snow people at the other and hockey nets. I wish we would have had lights but the rink was always at least 100+ feet from the house and there were no battery packs for the lights back then. Honestly I think my grandmother hid all the outdoor extension cords so that the neighbor kids would have to go home at dark. Your lights just make it so magical. My brothers and I would stay out skating in the dark until one of us were crying...usually me. 😂 Seriously, thanks for bringing back such fun memories! I hope my instructions were more helpful than annoying. Thanks again for the warm fuzzies!

    You get icicles if you don't have enough insulation in your roof. Or if the temperature keeps going up and down quickly and the melting snow freezes when dripping out of the roof.

  • @bellavita3097
    @bellavita3097 2 года назад

    There are heat tapes that you can put on your roof to melt the snow and ice and you may need more insulation in the walls and ceiling.
