From Riga to Disaster: Repairing Our Wind Damaged Frame House in Latvia

| Frame house - Capšu Zeme | 62 seen

Just after we finished most of the framing for our frame house in Latvia, we left for a weekend in Riga.

I called to my assistant and together we fixed most of the damage in just a few couple of hours. We started by removing roof constructions

As the weather was not very good and it kept raining, I decided not to install rafters yet, as we also had a two week trip to France planned the next morning.

Decided to leave this house as it is and finish the roof once returning from France trip.
