The Awning



The condensed story:



How it was done:

Removing the old plywood roof over the extension built in 1969

The slope was too steep so raised the front. I will need to climb over this

Fiberglass taped the wood to metal seams

Filled the new wood to old wood seams

Insulated (Later I found my pry bar in there while removing the ceiling below)


Added a drip edge

Primed the drip edge. Layed flashing where the plywood meets the old roof; then tar

Roofing paper


Pried the edge of the old tin roof up and worked the shingle under it

Likewise a full length 6 inch strip of flashing and one heck of a lot of clear silicone

Reattached the tin with my glue-toothpick-screw recipe through tin, flashing and shingle

Nailed the flashing through the shingle into the old plywood roof. The ends were screwed in

More tape where the extension meets the metal and canvas. Then all was primed

The outer corner of the extension was taped. Painted beige and white top coats

Looking up into the insulated awning where that strip of ceiling was removed


The tin roof and the flashing have been coated with an aluminum paint
