Repairs might be trickier if something does happen, but so far, fingers crossed...it's been sturdy enough for us.

That’s kind of what’s been nagging at me—like, trusses seem solid, but I keep picturing some freak hailstorm or a tree branch coming down and then suddenly it’s a whole complicated fix. My dad keeps saying “they’re engineered for this stuff,” but I’m still not totally convinced. Maybe I just worry too much? Our neighbor’s old rafter roof creaks like crazy in the wind, though, so maybe there’s no perfect answer.
