Ahead of the holiday break Paul and I embarked on the arduous and unpleasant job of insulating and installing vapor barrier in the Wet Room and Bathroom in preparation for drywall. Snow and freezing temperatures are becoming increasingly rare where we live and in fact until December 2016 we hadn't seen a snowfall in over 1,000 days. When we do experience snow its a couple of inches and gone in a day or two. Well this year has been different, cold temperatures have persisted and several inches of snow has accumulated. <span style="font-style: italic">Soooo </span> returning from an HD run with fresh supplies, while backing down the warehouse driveway Paul mis-navigated just a smig, dropped a rear wheel over an 18&quot; drainage ledge and shunted the Yukon into our recently renovated, minty fresh corrugated steel clad wall... What immediately followed was a gathering of neighbours who came to our aid. One brought 2 bags of salt...OK...thanks...another towed the Yukon out and off the ledge with his 5 Ton cube van to safety. Worked like a charm. The final result was a damaged wall panel and end cap that will be replaced in the spring with the Yukon taking the brunt.
