We installed heating cables from third the story window down to the second story eaves down the downspout to the second story electrical outlet by the door.

We ran down the downspout twice and on second downspout that meets the neighbour – poked the heating cables down the downspout about a foot – did a wrap job around a gutter spike to keep neighbours ice from entering as the eaves trough is shared – so set it up so ice dams would not build up there. When screwing in sensor the screws were about an inch and a half long but was only able to go about an inch due to the brick behind the wood. Due to where electrical outlet was placed the sensor had to go by eaves trough instead of along the shingles.
