For some reason, the car doesn't quite match the house.

I first thing I noticed was the car/house thing. I remember at my daughter's day care when I had lunch with her, a four year old almost got creamed by the same thing, a huge section of ice falling off a roof while playing outside on a warm day after snow and several days of cold weather. The day care then put ice spikes on the roof. Shook me up for a few hours.

I have been learning up on paintless dent removal for a while now and im about to invest into equipment. From the detailed pics, not knowing whats under neat it, I say that it could be pulled for big money. The technician will also have to take hours to do it right. Did I say hours, i meant days. Yeah well who ever said that **** happens.

Me too. Thats probably cause we live in city suburban neighbourhoods...these "rural" guys don't have a clue I see Porsches and other high-end german cars in condos and coop apartment buildings here. The reason...these apartments and houses cost and arm and a leg here. In that picture you are probably looking at a $500k+ house, I kidd you not!


If you own a house you get ice dams on the top if you have poor roof ventilation and insulation. Thats probably what happened here. Poor guy
