The Awning

Short version:

How it was done:

      Removing the old plywood roof over the

extension built in 1969

The slope was too steep so raised the

front. I will need to climb over this

Fiberglass taped the wood to metal seams

Filled the new wood to old wood seams

Insulated     (Later I found my pry bar in there  
while removing the ceiling below)

Added a drip edge

Primed the drip edge. Laid flashing where the plywood meets the old roof; then tar

Roofing paper

Pried the edge of the old tin roof up and worked the shingle under it

Likewise a full length 6” strip of flashing and one heck of a lot of clear silicone

Reattached the tin with my glue-toothpick-screw recipe through tin, flashing & shingle

Nailed the flashing through shingle into the old ply roof. The ends were screwed in

More tape where the extension meets the metal and canvas. Then all was primed

The outer corner of the extension was taped. Painted beige and white top coats

Looking up into the insulated awning where that strip of ceiling was removed

The tin roof and the flashing have been coated with a silvered aluminum paint
