A friend and I went fl ying recently. We opened the hangar door to pull the plane out, but before we could we had to remove some chock blocks. Chock blocks are those things placed under the wheels to keep the plane from moving. They are so tiny compared to the plane. They're in- expensive compared to what the plane costs. But the chock blocks jam the wheels, making it impossible for the plane to roll forward and take off. We could have pulled with all our strength, but unless the chock blocks are removed, the plane doesn't move. What chock blocks in your mind keep you from moving for- ward? What ridiculous, little thing in your perception stops you from succeeding? What habit do you still have that prevents you from lifting off from some constant, nagging problem? You can rev your engines all you want to, but before you can begin your soaring into the wild, blue yonder of success, your mental chock blocks have got to go. So as you make a positive life, not just a living, in this negative world, get rid of your chock blocks and listen to your life. A snow-covered landscape can be a picturesque sight. However, a roof covered in snow is something no homeowner can afford to marvel at. That's because accumulating snow and ice very well could push a roof to its breaking point, even if the roof was sound before the winter arrived. According to The University of Arkansas division of Agri- cultural Cooperative Extension Service, the water content of snow can range from 3 percent for very dry snow to 33 percent for wet, heavy snow. A roof may only be able to support 12 inches of wet, heavy snow before it is pushed to its breaking point. Snow can be quite heavy, weighing around 60 pounds per cubic foot. When heavy snow arrives, homeowners should do their best to safely clear their roofs of snow. The threat of snow causing a roof to collapse has many homeowners fl oundering. While having snow build up on the top of a house is dangerous, so, too is climbing up on a slip- pery roof to push off the snow. As winter approaches, many emergency offi cials urge people to clear their roofs and decks to minimize structural collapse. But how does one do it safely? Steep-pitched roofs tend to be the easiest to deal with snow and ice problems because a snow rake is usually effec- tive. A snow rake is just what it sounds like. It is a metal device on a telescoping pole that can be extended to drag the snow off of the roof. Homeowners may need to use extension ladders to reach taller parts of the roof. A second person can remain below to steady the ladder and ensure it doesn't tip over on a slick surface. It is not adviseable to climb up on the roof directly and shovel the snow off. The added weight of a person may be all that's needed to cause a roof to collapse, potentially resulting in grave injury and considerable roof damage. A snow-cov- ered roof also can be slippery, which could result in a person falling off the roof. Anyone who does not feel secure removing snow from the roof can hire a professional service to do so. Just be sure the service is properly licensed and insured. In addition to removing the snow from the roof, here are some winter weather home care tips. • Clean the gutters to remove any debris so that gutters will not become blocked and form ice dams on the roof. In addi- tion, keep gutters and drains free of ice and snow. • Add insulation to attic fl oors to prevent heat from the home escaping to the roof and causing ice dams that freeze when snow melts. In addition, make sure the attic is well ventilated so that the temperature inside will remain consistent with out- doors, further preventing snow melt. • Melted roof snow can leak into homes or pool around foun- dations, causing rot and other problems. Keep an eye open for any leaks. • If you live in an area prone to heavy snowfall, a metal roof may be a good investment. The slippery roof causes snow and ice to slide off. Special features at the end of a metal roof break up the snow before it reaches the ground, preventing large, heavy piles of snow from causing injury when falling to the ground. ~Courtesy of Metro Editorial Snow On The Roof Can Be Troublesome
