The roof has sprung some new leaks. I was shoveling snow on the roof to create a drainage path for the melting snow yesterday and a couple of guys walked by in the back parking lot. One of them said “No guts”. I said “Sorry, what?” The other guy said “So you don’t want to see what your roof will hold.” I have no interest in pushing my building to the limits the way the one down the street has been, on the point of collapse. Someone came and put plywood and two-by-four braces up thinking, I guess, that it would keep it from falling over. It might be that they’re hoping just to protect the neighboring building if it does collapse. How do you learn your limits if you stay away from them? I find that limits are elusive. After finishing my first 100 mile race I found that 100 miles was not my absolute limit and that I didn’t have any interest in finding where it was. I’m hoping my building has the same reservations.
