Make sure you rinse the hell out of whatever metal you put salt on. Salt will corrode metal super fast.


Just use the salt free version of Tony Chachere's

Where do you propose someone obtain a roof rake in Louisiana? If you order it it will arrive too late to be useful.

I used a broom duct taped to an extension pole.

I couldn't reach all of it but got about 60% of it

Assuming it's an A-frame, just put the ladder on the front and climb up and try to push the snow down from the top off of the sides. If he heats the shed up first and has a metal roof with no gutters, it could slide off.

I also said he'd have to get lucky

Spent 2 hours with a shovel and push broom. The top layer of snow came off pretty easy. The frozen layer of ice was about 1” thick and had to use a shovel to pry it off. The push broom worked pushing the ice chunks off until it started freezing and weighed about 25 lbs on one end. I feel better with all that weight off.

Do NOT put additional water on a snow-covered roof.

To be fair, he said hot saltwater.

Although yeah.. still probably a bad idea.
