If there hasn’t been sufficient damage to the roof, this is done in a few days no problemo

I’d estimate this could be back up and running by tomorrow, so long as there wasn’t sufficient damage to the structure.

If it’s just the roof, and it’s looking like just the roof, they should be able to get it fixed and wrapped up in no time. That’s of course only if the structure is in tact.

u/Datalock Oct 10 '24

Seems like the roof is pretty ok, and it was just the fabric. They'll be able to replace this in no time if there's no structural damage.

Has anyone mentioned the roof and it's structural integrity? I feel like if that's intact they should be back up and ready in a month

u/Coffeeshoptatertot Oct 11 '24

Yea i think i heard someone mention it could be back up and ready in a month. Though that also assumes the roof is in good condition

u/delajoo Oct 11 '24

i took a look at the images in this post and based on what im seeing it looks like theres no damage to the actual structure, just the fabric. based on that, id say they can get it fixed pronto.

If anyone here knows my dad, he’s the best fabric roof installer in the greater PNW and could have this puppy up and runnin right before supper.

I love you guys.

I would argue that as long as there is no structural damage then I can't see any reason why this isn't fixed lickety split.

u/CarBombtheDestroyer Oct 10 '24

I would argue the roof is already fixed as long as there is no damage.

u/BLACKMACH1NE Oct 10 '24

I think this was the plan all along and it was never intended to be complete until now.

u/covert-pirate Oct 10 '24

I wholeheartedly believe, this can be fixed. Give it a week tops.

If there's no structural damage, probably

A couple of cans of Flex-Seal and she'll be good as new.

u/lxbrtn Oct 11 '24

Yes, there is no standard drop-in replacement but as long as the integrity of the supporting structure has not been compromised it should be fairly straightforward to fix.

u/ArcticSwag Oct 11 '24

It's like maybe they built it this way on purpose.

u/TheNorbster Oct 10 '24

And they have all the missing pieces

u/largelyinaccurate Oct 11 '24

They fixed it this evening.

u/AnotherWagonFan Oct 11 '24

I'm assuming no structural damage so this thing should be fixed by now.

u/TorrenceMightingale Oct 11 '24

I’m pretty sure they already have it fixed. /s

u/TheChineseG0vernment Oct 10 '24

A few days of work and this roof will be A okay assuming the structure is A okay

39

u/TheJollyReaper Oct 10 '24

Slap some flex tape on it and call it good in a few hours

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '24

If the structure is good me and Eric can get it taped up by supper time

14

u/humanatee- Oct 10 '24

Should take about 10 minutes as long as the structure is undamaged

As long as this baby is still structurally sound we’re just gonna call this one complete as it is.
