Should it be a embarrassment to have the roof collapse on your truss manufacturing plant? The collapsed Spenard Builders Supply truss plant on West 46th Avenue in Anchorage on Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2023LINK

It’s certainly ironic!
The Soldotna SBS had a roof collapse last December after the big snow.

It really is funny. Glad no one got hurt.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Where is all this sh*t coming from? Heard on the radio it’s El Niño. We’ll have a wetter winter. I’ll be grateful if the precipitation is solid versus liquid.

Everyone with SBS trusses on their homes be lookin' up at their ceilings this morning.. lol I shoveled for a second time yesterday. And that was before seeing the news! We are over 100% of our average annual snowfall; with our second snowiest month yet to come. Beats rain though.

From the ADN article:
“The collapse marks at least the third time in less than three years that a roof on an SBS building has buckled.”
Not what one would consider great PR.

The failures I've seen with seemingly good roofs have been due to two things. Heavy drifting and strong sharp wind gusts.

The failures I've seen with seemingly good roofs have been due to two things. Heavy drifting and strong sharp wind gusts. Especially when there's a partial thaw so that clearing the roof gets a lot more difficult. And it is less likely to clear on its own.

That building has been there since I was in High School, in the late 60s. If I recall it was a shake roof. I concur with your assessment that it is or should be embarrassing.

Yes the irony is laughable! Incidentally, I saw more collapsed roofs on large barns and outbuildings last winter than I’ve seen in years. Even metal roofs.
