Blairgowrie Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Winter came early this year and we have already had lots of snow. I get a bit concerned when it starts to get heavy on the roof so we have a off duty fireman come in and get most of it off. Poor bugger was up there for 4 hours in minus 12 degree F. I watched him for a couple of minutes! Quote
Rattler Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Holy crap! We barely get that for the whole year! Quote
T_O_A_D Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Pull your insulation out of the attic, so it can melt LOL Quote
JensenPark Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 BG is the only person I know of that has a personal estate large enough to have it's own fire department...and thus easy access to off-duty firemen. Quote
Streak Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Looks like that storm pounded ya. Up to now ours has stayed up the mountains, but we got our first valley snow yesterday. And since I live on the foot of said mountains we had a few inches that stuck around. Soon I assume we will get hit hard too. Just hope it's only a foot or so at a time, I hate it when we get buried like you do. Quote
Quazi Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 That is unreal BG! Ever thought about installing a heated roof. lol Quote
Klinger Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I have to ask BG, but what is your man standing on? Some kind of 'duck run'? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 He is standing on ice Kling and you are right, it is quite precarious. If he gets enough snow off the roof and he slips he will land in the deep snow and be ok. Quote
Klinger Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Thanks BG. Its interesting to see construction requirements and methods from very different locations (for me). Your land has to absorb a hell of a lot of water if you do get a fast melt. Quote
