In 2012, we upgraded the hose that we used, since last year, we had an ice dam create a hose explosion all over Lee Brasher. Also, we procured a 50' length of rain gutter heat cable. We will alternate as previously mentioned running the heat cable while the hose is off from running the hose with the heat cable off. Hopefully, this will allow the Ice Thing to withstand warmer weather longer.
Currently, we have plans of creating this year's rendition on 11/17/12.
