day 2: gratitude for home
Even when things break. We woke up this morning to a busted pipe underneath the house. Not NO water and fairly easily fixable but a pain nonetheless. Why do these things always happen on the coldest days of the year? Right after we bought our house, the well pump went out in the middle of January... and then AGAIN almost exactly one year later! Almost makes you miss renting... but either way, I'm very grateful for a consistent roof over my head, one that keeps me, my family, and my stuff safe and sheltered. Like most older homes, it has lots of things that need repairing, and lots of things we just want to change, but we do not have to worry about the house making us sick or falling apart around us or even someone randomly coming up and telling us to get out (which was a fear for a while, which is a lonnnnnnnng story in and of itself). It may be little more than a doublewide, we may be miles from civilization, but it's ours. And it's home.
Roof Repair
Problem- 3 tab shingle one layer only- shingles not lined up properly when installed and exposure under tabs
Leak 6’ from bottom of roof- ?”-3/4” exposure of shingles tab and water touching wood -roof deck from snow and ice pushing up. Many rusted nails
Tarred under many tabs where the water touching wood.
Leak area areas patched under tabs but not a perm fix
Water was also pouring into tabs as he has plank decking not roof deck sheets or boards and water in cracks in every plank of wood.
Couldn’t pull up every tab and seal or would have been there all day
Perm fix:
Will need underlayment under shingles- will experience more leaks until roof is replaced based on condition and new roof is required asap and Spring is urgent
When replacement is done the roof wood planks need to be replaced with ?” plywood for roof deck with underlayment and re shingled.
