Yesterday the dog started barking about something. He is good about letting us know when something new is happening. Once he is confident we are aware of what's going on, he stops.
This time it was because the roofer was here and starting to get things done.
The area over the front door is a flat roof with a rubber membrane. Or I should say *had* a rubber membrane.
Four layers of roofing were removed. Some of the framing is bad due to previous water damage and needs to be replaced. Other joists just need sistering.
Then new decking, gutters, and roofing material.
Then the columns and other millwork can get repaired/replaced. And finally painted.
Yikes! Were all four layers rubber, or was the rubber added over previous layers of other material? I would expect the original roofing material was metal, perhaps copper, tin, or terne metal?
