Roof Repair


Rain has been leaking through the flat section of the roof at the Tower House. Here is a picture of the roof earlier this week as I was about to begin repairs. You can see the leaky joints were patched with a gray roofing compound, but that kind of fix never lasts long. The rolls you see are "Peel & Seal," an aluminized roofing material that I am using to cover the old surface completely.
After I took this photo on Thursday morning I got half the roof surface (which is 8' by 18' overall) covered, and I also fixed some leaks around the flue stack. When I finish I will post "after" pictures - but that won't be today, because it's way too windy to go back up.
