My house (not my coop) has the roof sloped wrong - it all slides off and makes a HUGE mountain in front of my garage bay! DH, who has a different garage than me because he keeps the garage such a mess that I won't share one with him, almost always has a clear spot in front of his garage beccause of the wind. I have to keep shoveling throughout every storm, especially when it has warmed enough to rain some into the pile, because if I don't knock the pile down by nightfall, I'll be using a pick-axe in the morning, carving my way through a solid mountain of ice! (Once I tried taking it down partway, then accelrated backward with all the power I had to try and get through/over the ice-mound. Got the back-end over okay (I sometimes hear a rattle and feel a shimy, but the mechanic can't see a problem); but I tore the front CV boots and broke the CV joint nearly clean through! It was barely hanging on ... I limped to Less Scwab, the car was shuddering the entire way (I thought it was the new set of chains I put on before I backed out) They displyed the destoyed CV joint in their shop for weeks.
Yup.
I told ya about that slope on the roof when I was there.
But your architect should have realized that for you when he designed the house since you were in snow country.
That is what you paid him for, sheesh.
But it is soooo beautiful!!
In the NORTH, all roofs slope away from doors.
My ex grew up on a farm in Northern Minnesota, and has told tales of the snow so deep that they entered & exit through an upstairs door (house was 2 stories) and in the summer, the door in the second story looked so strange with no stairs.........
They also had to dig a tunnel from house to the barn to see to their animals.
DH is from Northern Minnesota, and the Architect designs schools and shops and such IN ALALASKA!!!! Mostly Faribanks and Kechikan and some pretty remote places too. I'm from California. They should have caught it!
