An 11,000 pound elephant meets a shovel.

Ever had two feet of snow INSIDE your house? It wouldn't be an interesting building process without a blizzard dumping two feet of snow inside the house.





The culprit: the house isn't yet under roof. We shoveled out the entire first floor's 2 feet of snow. Snow had to be shoveled out through the framed windows and door openings. This picture was taken after shoveling was completed.
The Washington Post ran an interesting graphic which noted that 1,000 square feet of 2 feet deep snow weighs 11,000 pounds, which is equivalent in weight to an elephant.

More pictures of the house after the blizzard...

  1. This is amazing...I guess I shouldn't complain about shoveling my driveway. Best wishes!
