Roof Repairs

The joys of owning a home, right??? Let's play "spot the problems" in the photos below. :-)

Our house is currently in the middle of roof repairs...the back of the house last week and the front of the house this week.

The Back: The trusses around and under the A/C unit reinforced, sheeting replaced, new shingles woven in.The back issues were from condensation and bad sealing/installation of the original A/C unit and it's insertions into the roof- allowed for moisture to collect inside during the winter and penetration from outside! Bad combo.

The Front: The contractor, said the plywood in front was powdery in places- scooped out as much as possible by hand and sucked up more w/ his shop vac. (I think we're all aware that plywood should never be able to be sucked up w/ a shop vac!) These issues arose from an old leak that our landlord attended to w/in our first year or two in the house, which involved tearing apart the wall in our front room/office as well. That wall came out in crumbly pieces as well. That wall now sits behind my sewing area- dry and solid, thankfully!
