I was so proud of my new tarp job, but when I came down last night I could tell my plan had failed. The tarp was not pulled tight enough, and the water pooled in the middle of the tarp AGAIN, pulling the walls inward. The weight of the water was enough to snap the screws that were holding the diagonal braces in place, and once those were gone the walls didn't have a chance against the pressure from the water.
Yet again, I had to cut a hole in the tarp to allow the pooled water to drain, directing it out of the house using another tarp. I was able to push the walls back up, and made it my goal to get the last of the walls up and the roof beam in place so this won't happen again!
