With the top half done we started on the lower half of the building. I thought it would be easier, but I was wrong again!This is a picture of it before the tear down.
The new white sheets were added when we first bought the building. We just wanted to stop the bleeding and get us through the rest of the winter. It was a smart move since we had several ice & snow storms this year.
Here Wade and I are cleaning off the roof.The very bottom had just two layers of roofing so it went pretty well.
We decided to move down there and let Crazy Paul deal with the upper section since I fell through up to my groin area.
Left couple of nice bruises.
Picture looking back at the mess that almost killed me.
This is the lower section it was really good compared to the upper section.It is also all T&G. It looked like it use to be a covered dock and then they at some time sealed it up.
This is after we removed the bad beams and decking.
The underneath side.
The stain glass & brick wall use to be the back wall and beyond that is where I believe they had the covered dock which is sealed up now.
This was a typical beam. There was some major rot on about 5 beams. So they were replaced or scabbed onto.
Since the beams are level underneath they had to be built up to allow for a pitch in the roof decking.This is what we are doing in this picture.
My dad the funny man!!
Actually he really did fall through.
Here is his bad leg.
Still doesn't look as bad as mine knee!!
I am sure he will appreciate the attention now that I have posted this picture.
He should think before he sends me pictures.
The decking all nailed down and looking good.
The lower half completed.
This looking towards the back of the building.
The second half of the lower half completed.
Looking back towards the front of the building.Jen and I choose to go with the rolled roofing.
It was the most cost effective at this time since it has a fifteen year warranty. We will see!
But at least it looks good for now.
Later
