How's that roof coming?




We are almost done with the reworking of the carport. As I expected there was more rot that could be seen without uncovering it. Rafters, headers, decking, soffit, eaves, ceiling, and several layers of felt, tar, and pea gravel later, we are nearing the finish line. The rain has fought back, my unrelenting job has fought back, we've had two hurricanes. We are winning. With Kay's help, the roof looks very much like a professional torch down modified bitumen flat roof (we used cold process) Best part, it doesn't leak.

This wasn't a fun project, no, but a necessary evil. I can think of many other projects that I want to do but haven't started.
I am happy that it's done and won't fall on our heads anytime soon though.

no, usually not fun. lots of very hard work but very rewarding.
love you
