"Temporary Fix......."

Dave Soper of Soper Services (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Soper-Services/294265167352106) came over today to put a temporary fix to the issues from the front porch ice damming.  It will suffice until the snow melts.

Here is what it looked after Don cleaned up all the fallen blocks of ice.

The tree support (using those words loosely) has been moved over and replaced with the expandable metal support.  The bars across the beam are, hopefully, going to slowly move the beams back to center.  As you can see, they are under pressure and can be tightened as needed.....sort of like straightening teeth with braces.  ;)

Here is a close up showing the setup.

A quick and easy solution until it is possible to work on it after the snow is gone......
