Santa's On His Way - Do You Have an Impact Resistant Roof?
In just over a month, Santa will make his annual trip, landing his sleigh and the 9 reindeer that power it on your roof, and if you don't have an impact resistant roof, you may be in trouble. It is believed that Old Saint Nick weighs approximately 220 pounds, but that is nothing compared to the weight of his reindeer and sleigh. Assuming that he is carrying roughly two pounds of presents per child, it follows that the jolly old man's sleigh would weigh roughly 300,000 tons. Needless-to-say, if you don't have a impact resistant roof, that kind of weight could cause serious problems for your home's roof, and wind up costing you thousands in damage. Similarly, Mr. Kringle is tasked with climbing up your chimney and sliding on down in order to place the presents under the tree. If the flashing around your chimney isn't properly installed, his little climb up it could cause you serious problems.
