Ed Kennell 35,146 #1 Posted February 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,197 #2 Posted February 20, 2014 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,563 #3 Posted February 20, 2014 Get one of those little snowblowers and leave it on the roof. Then get to it before it turns to elementary school white paste, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #4 Posted February 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,146 #7 Posted February 20, 2014 Get one of those little snowblowers and leave it on the roof. Then get to it before it turns to elementary school white paste, 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,197 #8 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) 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. Maybe a corrugated metal roof is in your future. Edited February 20, 2014 by stevasaurus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,146 #10 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) 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 ?
