deflector

Last winter, the snow that fell off of the big barn roof was so heavy, it blocked the doorways with snow and ice packed piles that became impossible to manage and impermeable. I had to climb in through the tops of the Dutch doors to get into the barn.  So we are trying to design awnings to redirect the unavoidable avalanche.  Drawing by genius architect George Emmert.  

The first design was too much, and much too expensive an option, so George made a simpler version, which we will build this Fall.  Mini shelter design for the well head, too.
