Today I want to concentrate on roof work. We knew when we bought this place that there was a bogus patch job on the roof. As most roof repairs go it was a lot worse that we expected, go figure!
When we got here we found that the roof over the screen porch was damaged from years of leaking. This in turn damaged the floor of the porch. We also knew that this was a repair we would have to fix before we left for the summer. Little did we know that the insurance company felt the same way.
This was the hole in the roof over the screen porch. It looks like it has been leaking for a while, huh!
As fate would have it John needed us and we needed him. Using his vast experience we used his roofing skills to start the demo on the roof. And, when it comes to these types of jobs there is always more that will need to be fixed as things become exposed . . .
. . . like the board he just picked up in his hand that easily broke off.
This whole part of the roof wasn't even attached. He had to get a ladder, put a jack on it, and prop it up as he reinforced the beams.
We shall continue tomorrow. As he started the tear off, dad and I went to Lowe's for roofing supplies.
