Removing the Flat Roof on the Back Room

I probably should have said 'Removing the Flat Roofs' instead of roof.

Before photo

Yesterday the first roof came off.  It consisted of a thin rubber membrane and an underlayment of Homasote.  That exposed another layer of rubber membrane.

Today the second layer of rubber membrane was removed and exposed ANOTHER layer of Homasote.  Under the Homasote was ANOTHER layer of rubber membrane but that layer was thick rubber.

Guess what? Yup....another layer of Homasote.

But good news.  When we stopped at 630PM, we were down to the original green cedar shakes.

We have a huge pile of debris on the deck to clean up tomorrow.  The debris will go into large trash cans and R's doctor says we can dump it in his dumpster.  Thanks Doc!!!!

The green cedar shakes will stay on until the weather forecast is for drier weather.  Right now it says rain for Friday night through Saturday afternoon.  I guess we will find out just how much that original roof leaks if it rains.

The beginning of another scrap pile.  Aluminum scrap doubled in price this past week.  It went from 55 cents a pound to $1.10 a pound.

We will get a chance to work on the secret barn project if it rains on Saturday.
