Is It Too Obvious?

I'm no engineer, but if there was a big wall of ice blocking a road in front of my house and I didn't want to risk moving it because of potential damage to private property, I do believe I'd consider finding a way to melt that wall of ice. With fire perhaps, or a salt water solution. Sure, it would be on a large scale, but that's the fun of it. Who didn't mess with the ice in the sink from when the fridge freezer was being defrosted when they were a kid? Now try that on a much, much larger scale. Good times.
