It just keeps snowing.
I'm glad the contractor that lead this job keeps his boat in here. 
This snow bank is 12' high and will be there until at least May 1.

We normally get about 45" per year. We've already had 85" and have March to go. I can't say I'm getting sick of snow, but I'm getting close. The snow we've gotten has been followed by rain/ice events within days. The snowboarding actually hasn't been that good.
Like all of my fellow northerners, I'm getting jacked for spring. In fact, if the weather allows Sunday, I might just hook it up to my truck and tow it around.

[QUOTE=tullfooter] I might just hook it up to my truck and tow it around.
Sunday I was joking with my son that we should hitch the boat up & take it out on the (frozen) lake - he could hook a line on & snowboard. Good thing the boat is drifted in the shed - this cabin fever is making me crazy enought that I might do it!

My kids are doing that but behind the quad. Doc, I'd rather have snow (3"-5" today) than rain, which your getting today. The problem is, we're going to have rain on Sunday, but at 42 degrees  . I guess the boat stays inside.

Hey Riley you better get the roof rake out.I wouldn't bet my pride and joy on anyones craftmanship once you get some rain on top of all that snow.I heard a rumor today that one of Irwin Marine's roofs collapsed just the other day onto the 30 boats below that were being stored.Not good.

You're probably ok Bruce,but if you have a rake and some spare time it may be worth it for the peace of mind.Who am I to talk anyway.The roof at our camp probably looks just as bad......and is older......and has less pitch....but then again,my boat isn't inside it and I can always sleep on my dock this summer if the roof caves in
That's quite a project they built with that snowwoman.Looks like they used full size trees for the arms! Is that in Bethel? Mike ------------- http:/diaries/details.asp?ID=2219" rel="nofollow - Air Nautique 210 Team 640 hours, not 1 regret |

Yeah, Bethel. They just finished it this week. It's a real construction project.

I too liked the 80s models. Just purchased this one from Clarksville, Va. just over 600 hours on it. I understand that the interior was replaced by the previous owner. I am in a small town between Sanford and Raleigh. Just down the street from Jordan Lake and Sharon Harris Lake. Have been without a ski boat for the last 2 years and just could not stand it anymore. Decided to get a "real" ski boat this time. ReidP is not that far, couple of hours maybe. Ride the bike down near you neck of the woods in December. Ride down to Tampa area for a small cylce show.

Mike, it is in Sebago. I'm going up to look at it now and figure out a plan. My garage was built by my buddy and I. He is a high end contractor, and hopefully, mine is built much better. The garage that collapsed was built by one of those companies that builds garages locally for a great price. They put them up in one day. It is about 15 years old. I don't think it had a truss roof. Hopfully, the boat is not totalled. ------------- |

I've never thought very highly of the companies that do the garages only. They build to the very min. to just meet the code. I think they come north in the summer and then in winter return to Louisina. After changing their company name they are back north the next summer!!

Good news, I don't think it's totaled. The boat has not been crushed. I'm sure there's damage and I'd be amazed if the windshield is not busted. The boat is on the left side and the roof collapsed in the middle, but did not come apart from the outside walls. Tricky part now is to get it out of there without causing further damage.
Pete, the garage was built with 2x6 rafters and only had 3 2x6 ties. My buddy told me the only way my garage is coming down is if the walls bow out and he said that was not going to happen because of the way we built it. That is exactly what happened to the garage that collapsed. The out side walls went out and the roof came down. How much does a cubic foot of wet icy snow weigh? ------------- |

Bruce, That is a tough question because is hard to say just how "wet" the snow is!

Wow, Sorry to see that Riley, that's a shame. How the hell can 2x6 rafters be up to code in your snow load area? I wonder if it was put up without pulling a permit and it slid by watchful eyes. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |
Posted By: 8122pbrainard
Date Posted: March-07-2008 at 9:30am
By the book with a 20psf rating (min. code)and a slope greater than a 3-12, a 2x6 rafters max length is 14'11" for 16" centers and 12'4" for 24" centers. Bruce is correct that it was the 3-2x6 roof joists (ties) that allowed the walls to go. More would have certainly helped but proper framing anchors (Simpson Strong Ties) at the juction of these joists at the wall cap plate and the rafters probably weren't used. Alan, Your point may be valid regarding the lack of inspection. Up north in my rural area, last year they just started a inspection program!!! Before that it was up to the "contractor" and if questioned, you would get a answer something like: "that's the way I have always done it" ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Rural town. 15 years ago the building inspector would not have even inspected it.
The ties consisted of 2 2x6 that were nailed together in the center and they pulled apart. My buddy that built my garage is my partner in our 88 Skier. We used to keep the Skier in the garage that collapsed. I told him about it and he said that garage was really cheaped out and built like s**t. I couldn't see the whole boat yesterday, but I didn't see any damage from what I could see. It will be really tricky getting that boat out without damaging it. My brother does not own the garage. It's rented. The owner is antsy to get in there asap and demo the building. With a couple of feet of ice and snow on the roof, it seems like going right in there will cause more damage. Whoever she hires, I hope will know what they're doing. I am sure I will be seeking insurance advice at some point. ------------- |

I hope your brother's situation turns out like mine. We had a steel building collapse New Years Day, 8 years ago, under a snow load. I had 2 of my semi's, a backhoe, and a arial bucket truck inside. There was surprisingly very little damage to the vehicles. Hopefully the owner will allow the snow to melt, relaxing the load on the structure, before tearing into the building.

Steve, So you found that waiting an letting the snow melt was better than trying to tear into the roof with all that weight on it. That's good to know and what I had figured.
I told the property owner and my brother that, but she is antsy to get going. My brother will be home tonight and he can take over. Hopefully, whoever the contractor that she hires will not rush in. Kind of reminds of an old horror movie where the guy survives the elevator fall unhurt, only to have the cable cut the car and him in half a few moments later. ------------- |

Bruce at this point it's a safety issue, someone's going to get hurt when the rest of it collapses on them because they we're "ansty" to get it cleaned up and not wait for the snow to melt. That just doesn't make sense for her to rush into it right now. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

My brother met with the owners of the garage and their contractor today. The owners want the garage cleaned up this week. They also want the boat removed without damage. The contractor crawled in the garage and went all over the boat. He said he could see no damage, not even to the windshield. He did say the interior might be cut up because there's so much debris in it, but no damage to the hull or deck. Pretty amazing. We'll see how good he is raising the roof and securing the building so the boat can be removed. I'd be crazy if it were my boat. I think they should stabilize the walls and let the snow melt for a couple of weeks. ------------- |

Hope this isn't inappropriate.I think it pretty much sums up most peoples feelings in the northeast right now.Got it in an email from 98Sportnautique and found it somewhat humorous.Quite a contrast to the snowwoman posted earlier in this thread.

Mike,
My feelings exactly! (And, it isn't even snowing here, just lots of rain and wind) Great pic. ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

My brothers boat was removed from the garage and had relatively minimal damage. The windshield unbelievably, was not damaged. One toe rail on the deck was bent, the motor box was busted up, the flame arrester bent, and the interior is pretty torn up. ------------- |

Well winter is here to stay a bit longer, it's only been snowing for 3 hours and we have over 3 inches of fresh snow. We are expecting 4-10+ inches tonight. Got to go phone has been ringing off the hook. Only good thing is the white stuff pays well. ------------- |

Well, we haven't seen any snow for almost all winter (only lots of cold rain and winds) and guess what... Easter weekend... 40 cm of snow here in the Ardennes... Pfffff... especially now that my boat is ready. ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |
