Haven’t had much use of it this month. Put it up when it hit 40°F in December. All melted in our rain lately.

      My house unfortunately has a few hysterical (historical) society rules. It’s pretty old for the US.

        Simple. Just run enough wires and at sufficiently high temperature to instantly vaporize all the rain that falls on your roof! I umm…hope electricity is cheap where you live…

        You’re living in a famous person’s house? Otherwise that is too far away from anything to be a historical site.

          It’s over 160 years old, the main part anyway. Around me it doesn’t have to have had a famous person attached to it, just be old. Never seen “This Old House”?

            Is that old where you are? My first house was built in 1875. Fairly similar age. For the US, I guess mine was kind of old.

                I find that difficult to believe. Where i live, almost every house and trailer is older than 50 years, and they get torn down all the time. Perhaps its different in different counties? My trailer is from the mid 1900’s, it fucking sucks because you literally cannot get parts for plumbing.
