been there, done that. Chipping the ice off with a hammer and chisel/screwdriver. Ice chips flying in your eyes. ladder shaking back and forth...not for me. Climbing an unsteady ladder because it is resting on the edge of an icy roof carrying hot water doesn't seem like a good idea either. I can see a scalding accident waiting to happen there.
