Add a bit of copper chloride, and you've got something that will work. It will also kill a number of plants located directly beneath your eaves. Plain water will only increase the likelihood of moss growing and harming your shakes. |

Alternatively, a copper ridge-cap will solve the problem without affecting your electric bill. |

The DIY version involves a length of electrical cable with the insulation stripped off. It woiks surprisingly well. |

[thumb]: Shame on you for suggesting such a thing! Actually, when I rewired part of my house I realised about £30 from the scrap copper. Truro Cathedral has a copper roof, so I don't think lightning is likely to be too much of a problem. Having said which, Truro Cathedral also has a lightning conductor. |
