    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a question regarding deicing cable.

So I just did a trade, and in it I got a rack from gettin shippy. The heating method is something I've never seen before. It is using roof/gutter deicing heat cable. Is this something people have used without issue? I've used reptile heat cable, but would have thought this would be potentially overkill. Anyone have experience with this?
 
I thought it was basically the same stuff, just the cable for reptiles was sold in shorter lengths. The roof cable may also be more durable since it has to be out in the weather.

I wouldn't use either without a thermostat of course.
