How Do you Raise a Horse ?

Recommended Posts

Ed Kennell

After spending two days shoveling the 10 -20" of snow and ice off the roof,  I am open to ideas on ways to get one of the Horses up here to help.

                                                                 Glad I got it off before the warm rain tomorrow.

                                                                 Each one of these 12x12x10 blocks weigh ~25lb.,

                                                                 and some places it was over 20"deep.

Ed...great picture.  What is the pitch on that roof???  If that is a 3, you do not have time to type on Red Square.  Get that snow off of there fast.  :)

Get one of those little snowblowers and leave it on the roof. Then get to it before it turns to elementary school white paste,

All done Steve, That flat section is 16 x 45' with only 1' drop.  After removing all that weight, The supports I had under it all fell over. (see my REDNECK ROOF SUPPORT thread)

 

Using my redneck engineering, I'm estimating there was ~ 15 Ton on that roof.  I'll sleep better tonight.

I was thinking along the lines of picking a surplus Chinook up at the auction, and using it to raise the C-160 dually.  Then again, I will have to reinforce the roof to take the downdraft. :eusa-think:

Ed...glad you got all that snow off your roof.  WOW..16' with a 1' drop and it's shingled...you have some work to do in the spring.  There are times that I just hate water.  :eusa-think:  Maybe a corrugated metal roof is in your future.  :)

:text-yeahthat: Might work....I wasn't thinkin  of leaving  the C-160 suspended from the Chinook, But that way I wouldn't need the tire chains  .... less damage to  the roof ... maybe  ?  :confusion-helpsos:  :ROTF:
