How it was done:
Removing the old plywood roof over the extension added 31 years ago, which included a hand-carved Mexican eagle at the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The slope was too steep so I raised the front. I will need to be able to climb over this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I 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 from 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.
