from my roof!
http://www.biglines.com/photosv2/200...ines_69876.jpg
Im not too worrried about the weight as the roof was built to hold snow. What concerns me is this thing coming down on someones head or my dogs. I wacked it a bunch of times with an roller extension poll, but its solid ice. access is only from the deck which is a good ten feet away. any brilliant suggestions that dont involve explosives?
Co2 Laser
go up there, ski cut it, and ride the slide switch to the road
Dood, a 12 Gauge pump Winchester is in your future.

Chances are you can buy one at a local hardware store. Ask for a roof rake, eh?.
Its pretty close to new years... do sparkler bombs count as explosives?
then you're going to have to get it on film.Quote:

and, try throwing some heat tape on top of that monster.
Throw five gallons on gas on it and light it on fire.Wait 'til tomorrow night, though.
I know we're trying to go for no explosives here, but... I have to say, M-80's. Please. You must. Or teenagers. Or gas. Or teenagers with gas and explosives. Either way, you MUST video, and you MUST post it up on YouTube and here.
Move your hot tub right under it.
W.D 40.That shit does everything.
Stanley door hinge.
Cut it like any other cornice... Clothesline wth nuts or washers tied perodically to it. Throw, saw, and pull...
Turn the heat way up in your house, then turn it way down and then crank it up again. The bottom layer will melt, them freeze, then release. But it sort of looks like it is hung up in a valley. :(
You'll get big $$$ for that stash here in the East.:fm:

Apparently available here - http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/sear/ - for the low price of 20 grand. Buy one now and you can look forward to many seasons of effective cornice clearing ;)

Could work.
Dude.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
Explosives.
Drink 15 cases of beer, get a ladder truck (cherry picker), stand up above your house, and piss the snow clear.
Also video this for youtube.
Low-Frequency Decibel Emitter. LFDE works like ultrasound but on larger range.
No explosions, fire or weapons involved.
tactical nuke
A hair dryer and an extension cord. Make an afternoon out of it.

Did you get it to slide? I'd say just rope it off and let nature take it's course. Either that or get a tree saw. You know the ones with the long handles for trimming high branches and tree tops. You could slice the corner off. But you still have the whole rest of the roof to contend with.
Updates?!?
powder11 is too busy skiing the 72cms in the last 24h at Blackcomb to worry about his cornice again.
He posted this thread the first period that it hadn't snowed for more than 36hours since mid November. Seeing as it shouldn't stop snowing again till February he'll forget about it for a while. Unless it ends up on a list...
serious answer toby,
Cut it with a rope. Diagonal cut, bit by bit.
Get some thick plywood at ground level and put it over whatever is exposed and could break. Eg glass, windows, pipes etc.
Prop the plywood at an angle and brace the wood with some thick struts. When that cornice drops it will be ugly and thick. I've broken OSB board with cornice debris.
I'll give you a hand this weekend. You'll need a long ladder and I'll have to grab one unless you have one. I'll bring some rope. 30m should do the trick.
Take it down now before it gets worse.
