Bridges get load-tested before they open to traffic. Consider this season your load test.

RESILIENCE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Nothing is trusted with weight until someone finds out what it holds. The strain you are under is uncomfortable, and it is also information: about what your habits are worth, about who stays, about where you need reinforcement. Being tested is not the same as being condemned. It is what happens before something is ready to carry traffic.

Notice which of your supports are actually holding right now and which were decorative. Strengthen one of them this week instead of trying to rebuild everything at once. When this season passes you will know your own limits with something better than a guess.
