Additional Work and Tile Roof

Image
The wood palette has a future as an organizer/shelving coming in from back door. Replacement of wood rot under kitchen sink window (and area where studs were once removed to allow for back of dishwasher). Note front vinyl gutter - never really did its job due to its size; water ran past the gutter toward the front courtyard. Inspiration - the light relief above mantle. Front tile carefully stripped off, roofers are prepared to lay a roof membrane to seal the roof after decking/rot fixes. The wooden structure holding the tiles also needed to be replaced. Tiles organized - some 'sad face' tiles are one size, the 'happy face' cover tile is another. Most of deck was in good shape. Some of it did rot and need to ge replaced. Once new wooden structure was put into place, the 'bird guard' at front could be laid in place and the tiles meticulously attached. This was comforting to see! Wood rotted skylight, LOL ;) Oops,

Progress: TPO Roof Over Flat Roof Area

Image
Note wood rot in perimeter, caused by 'hot torch' (application of tar in leaky areas). Unfortunately, the wood planks around the perimeter were burned and rotted. Surprised that the house did not burn down. Source of additional leaks After decking was replaced around the perimeter of house, insulation panels are laid followed by the TPO membrane. One large scale operation by P & G Roofing, Final product - it had started to drizzle. Not install of two Velux solar tubes for Bathroom and Hallway light - Two over kitchen were damaged in shipping and had to be reordered. TPO is run carefully up to 'rotunda' and peripet. The roof trim piece covers the TPO over the edge of peripet. Leaky tile roofs are next.

Electrical Service, Leaking Tile Roof, Puddling in Living Room Below Tile Roofs - Early April Rain

Years of leaking led to lots of damage, problems with the foundation, walls, insulation, etc. Back, West-facing electrical (in need of redo/update) Electrical Service Leaking pitched tile roof under new arch looking into kitchen (time to mop) Water dripping in from pitched tile roof t More puddling in LR Pitched tile roof leading into LR on South (more mopping) Note rebuild of framing under rotted out window; the window is falling apart, but candidate for restoration. Pantry area leading to south back patio - roof was leading so badly that I lifted up the OSB so it wouldn't warp.
