    Default Here she is the new steel roof

    For those wondering what those bars are on the roof. In Canada because of the snow we install these Snow Guards to keep the snow from falling on your head lol

    PMM, that a beautiful house, and a darn fine roof!

    I will say that I was surprised by the bars. I has assumed that with all the snow in your part of the world, that getting the snow off the roof was important.

    Thanks PB for the compliment. The snow guards are more of a safety issue as you don't want all the snow from the second story coming down crashing unto the lower part and landing on the walk way. The bars will hold the snow and has she melts it will just slowly seep down from the roof into the eavetrough and away from the house.

    Yes it has.

    Gilles is a character so it would only fit that his house would have it also.

    He must be enjoying that day or 2 of sun before the next snow storm hits.

    Great looking house. I would have never have guessed they were for snow control.

    If we have snow here in England (normally for a few days tops) the country may as well go into hibernation as hardly anyone knows a thing about the stuff. Carnage on the roads, no one able to get to work etc, - if possible, my attitude is just to stay in, normally that weird, spooky looking cold stuff has gone away in a few hours.

    We ought to put signs up. Something like 'No snow allowed. By order of H.M Government'. That should deter the pesky stuff.

    Not sure of the age but it is a Century Log Home. The logs where moved here on this location in 1996. I purchased the house in 2005 and the logs over 100 years old and they are all cedar. Most comfortable home I ever lived in and probably will die in it lol

    I know but I don't have any that old to park there. I have my 2010 Tacoma, 2013 Kioti, 2006 Kawasaki but nothing vintage. I am looking for a couple of old wagon wheels to put on each side of the entrance though. That would look nice

    Very nice homestead PearlMan. The roof should last you a couple of years.
    Are the snow guards required by CSA?

    No they are an option. More of a safety issues to the home owner and visitors. With a steel roof snow tends to slide off compared to asphalt singles which holds the snow and that is one reason why people have to shovel their roofs, The roof is guaranteed for 40+ years from fading, cracking or peeling. Also mold resistant and gives more R value to the insulation because of the 1 inch gap between the strapping and the roof. Cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter. Can't go wrong with steel roof other than the cost which is more than shingles.
