Thankfully the Contractor Yard was very responsive and found a contractor to repair the damage done by the falling shingles. We are back to work there now, and in fact worked there Saturday. Some of you might have seen the article in Sunday's paper or the new story on Channel 3.
In case you didn't see it, here is a link to the newspaper story:

Accident at First Avenue House
The good news is, thankfully, nobody was hurt. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened, but it just goes to show how quickly a significant accident can happen at the job site. A good reminder that we all have to be vigilant anytime we're on the job site.
What happened is that when the boom truck was lifting the pallet of shingles to the roof to be off loaded by volunteers, the pallet began to swing and the operator tried to move the boom to steady it when the entire pallet slipped off the forks. The full pallet of 33 bundles fell onto the roof, through the roof, through the floor and into the crawlspace.
Here are some pictures.
