And the house has wood siding with a flat roof and grass growing on the roof! Yikes!

Yeah, I saw those flat roofs, and talk of whistler, and thought what a nightmare. Peaked roofs exist for a reason. I wonder what their snow strategy is? Because one day of rain on top of several feet of snow causes severe structural strain if it can’t just slide down.

The last photo is in snow...

I wonder if they actively melt snow on the roof?!

Would help explain the 400+ amps of electricity they pull from the grid.

Do they have to get up there (or rather does their groundsperson have to get up there) and mow the roof?
