The Roof 2003

The image to the right

is how I left it in 2002.

To view the original

renovation series.

The Left Border:
8 months absense and it looks pretty good.	Again, 3+ weeks later.	Extreme contrast shows no visible cracks, though

February 2, 2003	February 27, 2003	I suspect that there may be some at the right end.

Notice the condensation on the windows from our breathing & from boiling water.	Extreme contrast shows no serious cracks; just the pre-existing inner ply warps.

February 11, 2003

2 months of moisture carried on the nightly warmth of propane heaters had to escape.	Tnis crack is above the bedroom with the highest concentration of heat & humidity.

Then on March 11 (a 4 shot composite)	2 shot composite of the right end

This is why the soffits and eves of a house have vents.	Gently ground away the worst with a Surform file and a	sanding block. Note the rust on the tin roof's edge.

	Sprayed the cracks with glue and molded fiberglass tape	over them.

Later taped over entire edge of the tin roof.	Liquid Nails into the gaps beneath the central steel strap	– until the tube broke.

The glue and tape about 7 weeks later.	Back to the old Hewlett Packard 1 megapixel camera.	The Kodak 2 megapixel quit about here. Painted.

The Front Border:



The Right Border:
This was probably the worst split on this side, but	after it was taped. Here's the rest.	After painting.
