Of all of the parts of the house that need to be cleared of snow during a heavy storm, the roof is probably the most inconvenient, as well as the most dangerous. Letting snow build up can cause the roof to collapse, causing irreparable damage to the house itself. But then climbing up there yourself can lead to a life-threatening scenario, and hiring a professional quickly racks up a ton of bills during a blizzard season.

As a result, ingenious home owners have come up with their own roof-cleaning inventions that can be pieced together from pvc pipes and teflon strips from old sleds (you can find detailed instructions on how to build your own here). And a video of one such owner using his handmade hack is going viral, not so much because of how easily and quickly it sweeps the roof, but because of how oddly hypnotic and satisfying it is to watch each perfectly-shaped cube of snow slip down the teflon strip, like kids happily riding down a water slide.
