Lots of "stuff" involved here . . .

This area leaked and had drip pans, bowls, etc. for a long time!

I took out the old heater vents, etc. I love demolition . . .

Lookout at corner under eave was damaged slightly and just needs to be re-nailed/screwed back in place.

I believe Gene called this repair "sistering" boards to repair broken ones. They look stronger than the original ones now.

Plywood used here instead of bead board.

2 x 4s used in building this years ago have warped or bowed and caused slight sinking look. Guys will "shim" and make it more properly sloped as best they can.

Temperatures have been so hot, after 2 p.m. the guys find stuff to do on lower levels til quitting time.

I've been on the North side roof many times cleaning off moss and oak leaves. But never, never got up nerve to go up on this one. [smile]
rooffour025.jpg
The other side big board is in place now. Shimming and plywood to follow.

I haven't been up at 7 a.m. for so many mornings in a row for many years! I kind of like it, but think I'll go back to getting up around 9 a.m. when the guys stop waking me up early! [smile]

If I were 40 years old, I'd get up there, scrape, prime and paint that area. "IF" . . .
