Ice on the window

Well I came back from my Computer Graphics Final today, enjoyed and episode of Babylon 5, then went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Found the kitchen sink nonfunctional, boo have to call RPIRentals on that grr. Anyways I went to the bathroom to check if any water was working, sure enough the bathroom faucet gave me both hot and cold water.

Out of the corner of my eye I glimpse Ice on the inside of the bathroom window. I wonder, "what the f#@*?," well I decided to investigate.

I begin to investigate, first to remove our ghetto paper curtain. Still need to get on RPIRentals for those, anyways. I remove it and find parts of curtain stuck to the bottom of the window sill, they are frozen to the sill. There got it removed, I can now see the lower window, and the light sheen of ice coating the majority of it, as well I notice the external storm window is up with the screen down...ARGG I've got to get that storm window down and stop the ice formations, however pretty they might be.

Let's see tools? Hammer and Flat Head Screw drivers...perfect. (Chip, Chip, Chip, Bang, Bang, Bang) How the heck is Robare still sleeping through this? Oh well, an hour passes, well got most of the ice. Pull, strain, ahh the metal clips are stuck. (Chip, Chip, Chip, Bang, Bang, Bang), there they seem free now. Pull, strain, ahh the metal still stuck. (Pry, Pry, Pry, Bang, Pry) One sides up. Now the other, Yes got it.

After an hour and a half the window acquiesces and opens. Brr it's cold outside, put up the screen no trouble, put down the storm window yes both work. Now to put down the inner window. Good, looking down, my feet are covering in melting ice and paint chips, grr. Whisper that I hate RPIRentals, replace the curtain...well that's done, now what?
I know post it to the blog.
Done.
