The weight of white.

We started a project that has been in the planning stages for awhile. Last winter Minnesota was having the kind of winter the east coast is experiencing. Mega snow. Our current project is the result of all that snow. The roof rafters sagged under the weight of white. …


It took months of jumping through insurance and mortgage company red tape to get to this day. It was excruciating at times.. the delays. and more delays. patience building.

The crew is tearing off the old roof as I write this. I just uploaded a video to Facebook of the process. Looks hard to do. Balancing on a roof prying up plywood sheeting piece by piece. 

Last week the crew prepared the house to be opened up to the sky. False walls were made. Windows covered. The homeowners had to move out. We have a tight schedule to get the roof replaced as they are scheduled to move back in, in five weeks! Fingers crossed the weather cooperates. We could use five weeks of days like today- no snow, blue skies, light winds and moderate temps.
