Collapse of scaffold

On the 27th December we got a phone call from our neighbor saying he was passing our building site on a snowmobile and noticed something missing.

 

 The scaffolding which we had spent 3 months building and putting a roof on had collapsed. We were in shock, it was like hearing someone has suddenly died, denial, realization and some sadness later and it sinks in, then seeing it flattened as a final confirmation of the reality. 

From this time on it was referred to as the pancake.

 

This is how it all looked a couple of weeks earlier, before the roof sheets were finished and a clear plastic wall was fitted to keep the snow out.
