Homebuilder and pastor Jeff Carroll finds out the hard way that state law applies to religious structures and a that wooden truss with an 80 ft span is not a great idea.

Unbelievable. And they are counting on insurance to cover it? I don't know of any insurance policies that cover a structure that has been built w/o permits. I'm guessing that's not gonna work out for them.
Jokes aside, it's amazingly fortunate that the collapse didn't happen when the building was occupied.

one faithful woman says, "we're just gonna rebuild it. that just what we're gonna do".
the whole attic/roof plane looks like built of toothpicks. my observation is they didn't elmer glue the 2x4's properly and string wrap the connections with banana hemp. i also think, the priest pocketed some of the construction money.
i love the secular defense built around church and state seperation. if it goes to supreme court he would win?
