Shrink Wrapped House
Jackson
residents may be wondering why a Jackson
home on Court St. has a shrink-wrapped roof. According to owner Robert Saracino, his roof now
sports a large hole as a result of fire damage. Two blue tarps were originally
used to keep out the rain but they both blew off. The shrink-wrapping is a
temporary replacement until he can have the roof repaired – plastic wrap is
applied and sealed with tape, then the whole thing is ‘shrunk” with heat
guns. Saracino said he worked with
Weather Shield in Ione to get his house all wrapped up for winter -- the wrap is good for up to a year, or
until the roof is patched up.
