1/15/2013 Knocking Down the Icicles

After realizing that our beautiful icicles, were also adding a two inch solid layer of ice on the steps and porch beneath, we decided it was time for the icicles to come down. Bret knocked down the large icicles and then I spent an hour pouring bucket after bucket of hot water onto the steps to melt the permanent ice blockade that had formed. :)
