I was all prepped to do some taebo this evening when Jon came back in the house and announced that the doors to the car were iced shut. We tried boiling water, screwdrivers, and hairdryers before I went and got a neighbor who helped us try and get one of the doors open. (The problem, I think, was that the latches were also frozen.) It took us a good 90 minutes to do this. I ended up going with Jon to the churches so that I could make sure that he could get back in the car.
Taebo will be tomorrow — I’m cold and crabby and am off to shower and go to sleep!
this happens to me ALL THE TIME! i have resorted to a routine of kitchen knives, ice scrapers, and crawling through the hatch to kick open the passenger side door (it seems to be much easier to open than the driver’s side door). I bought some lock de-icer the other day as well. It works sometimes, but usually the whole door is iced shut.
only problem i’m having related to weather: wear the flipflops or sneakers with my shorts when i go out to play š
oh be quiet!
Hot water’s a bad idea, you actually want to go with cold water.
thanks for the tip.
