I sure hope that people are staying out of this death trap! 
Or will it suffer the same fate as this other Alton Bay boathouse? |
It's been like this for at least the last couple of years. I thought for sure it'd be gone two years ago with all that snow we got, and then last Winter I thought the same thing, but now I think it's going to be around for a while.
I know the owners and they are great people. They don't have a boat, so they probably figure the next owners can spend the cash to fix it when they move on.
Maybe I'll pay them a visit and ask to take a couple of pictures of the inside of the roof. If the header really is gone, I'd like to do a free-body diagram of the roof structure to see what on earth is holding it up, even with six feet of snow on it.
