DIFFICULT WINTER

Well this was definitely a winter to remember! We have lived in this home for going on 23 years and this  year we had more snow than we have seen here in all of the years added together. I was so very proud of both of our sons who came down and over to assist us in these troubled times. Both of them are men of great character.

Janice had let Sadie, our German Shepard out to potty before bed, and said Sadie went down the ramp and looked in the carport like something was there. Janice came and told me, so I got the flashlight and walked down to have a look. while down looking in the carport, I could hear a lot of cracking and crunching, then one really big crack. I turned and got Janice and Sadie back into the house. I told Janice that I thought we were going to loose the carport, and no sooner had we sat down than CRASH. The carport collapsed onto both of our vehicles.

This was the first look at the front of where the carport should have been.

This was the starting to dig out phase which took most of the first day.

This is the first look from the back side, you an see the carport resting on the jeep and the Truck.

Our tractor really got a work out moving all of the snow and roof parts around.

In this picture it appears as though the truck took most of the damage, it just looks like it from this picture.

Starting to make progress.

The snow is finally off the entire roof, now to start taking the roof off the vehicles a piece at a time.

Coming apart in pieces.

Making Progress!

This is an area at the from of the carport that got something shoved through the wall into a kitchen cupboard.

This is inside the kitchen cupboard where the hole was poked through.

This picture shows on spot that some of the support structure broke through the house into the master bed room.

This is inside the Master bedroom where part of the carport came through the wall

The Jeep dose not look too bad.....

Until you get closer.

or unless you look from the rear

The truck on the other hand really does not look good from any angle!

Not too bad from the back if you don't look for a cab

Left side definitely seen better days!

Hey, a little body putty, some paint no one will ever notice.

More to come at a later time!
