Small side is stripped. Need to patch sheeting in one spot that was leaking, clean the top side and I might meet my goal of finishing that side today.
It’ll be a full day plus to strip the larger side and I expect to re sheet a lot of it, and I’ll be fixing ventilation and blowing a bunch of insulation too. Hoping to put a bow on it Saturday, but I expect to run into Sunday.

it's in tar paper and the starter row are cut. I'll start laying them as soon as it dries out, just need to snap some chalk lines.
I'll be starting in on tearing off the other side as soon as it clears up. looks like only around sun up, and then a great stretch all the way to sunday night. pretty decent timing.
also I'm not dead yet. but I expect to be wanting to be such in ~24hr.

Ridge vent is ridge vent stuff.
Other side is 1/3 to 1/2 stripped. Will be a challenge to finish before Sunday rain. I think the soft wood is due to attic humidity. One area now exposed seems to just be somewhat delaminated. No rot, no leak.

still need to strip the roofing off the 4/12. Looking at it, I'm expecting a lot of either rotten or unglued ply, and maybe some soft rafters. hopefully they're just sagging for fun and I don't need to rebuild anything extra....

learned that the 50" bar draws a decent amount. Batteries were sitting at 8-9 volts by the dash gauge after about 5 hours. I didn't do the math but I know that's bad...
almost fully sheeted. Have to make 2 more stack holes and trim some corner pieces, and make sure I don't forget to find wherever I buried the bathroom vent before it gets a bit late for that.
I think I can get it done tomorrow. If not, damn close - ridge shingling takes way more time than I remembered.
Good times!

decent overnight too. good since it's getting left as it landed.
That went poorly.
Placed buckets under leaks from 3-3:30 and then laid all my rolled product in the rain until about 5:00
Then I turned off all my alarms and said I was sleeping until I wake up. Probably a bad plan with thunder forecast 3 hours from now bit I didn’t really care at the time.
I guess I’ll go see if it’s dry enough to do anything with

Apparently my shit should have burned itself down years ago: I just have stovepipe through the attic and up. Way way way under any current code, and no currently purchaseable flashing.
So I need to get some engineered chimney and make my holes a bit bigger and everything safer.
Must go taller too. Minimum 3’ now (and 2’ above anything in a 10’ radius), I might have been 30†to the top of the rain cap - but I doubt it.
So yet another shooing trip. I’ll lay courses now until it gets hot, then go shop.

didn't blow insulation as planned so that's still on the list.

stepped through my bedroom ceiling so that's a bit higher on the list than it would have been. had water damage from ice dams, so needed workanyway.

Baffles in 2 places (above soffit and at cathedral portions of original construction), giant slot cut in formerly solid preexisting roof where the addition's rafters tie in, ridge vent on 12/12 peak which had been unvented.
Guess I didn't take too many photos, all things considered.

Machine was outside on the back patio where I'd had the insulation stacked up. Hose all the way upstairs along with a wireless remote control.
I didn't have full access, it would have been much nicer to get this done just before I was laying sheeting. I'd have been able to do 2 more spaces that are now sealed up, too, but this will still hopefully make a huge difference. I didn't actually measure but I'll be ballpark r50 over the bedroom bathroom and utility closet now instead of maybe r20 before. I couldn't get over the upstairs nor deep into the eaves under the baffles since I was working 12' beyond where I could reach.

Didn’t drop the trailer and test the bad head gasket. Going to minimize that.

An extra set of hands for the ceiling would be amazing, should make getting the drywall up on the ceiling an hour affair. Thursday evening perhaps? That'll give me tonight to do the car/truck shuffle and mark joists for fasteners and whatnot. I need to get some mid-length drywall screws, I only have 1-5/8 and 3. Need some 2s for the double layer and some 2.5 for the triple layer in the bathroom

I should slap paint and floor in upstairs bathroom. About 21 square feet of floor and it was poorly done stick on linoleum when I bought. Hasn’t gotten better. Would be an easy improvement. Not sure what I’d pay down. Going to finish the rest first. May throw some leftover paint and trim in too. All walls and ceiling are ceiling white.
Post by: mr.mindless on January 26, 2020, 11:35:06 PM
Cove base other than kitchen done. Bedroom done and about to put furniture back. Living room ceiling in progress.
All electrical issues dealt with other than a bad GFCI i found (test button does naught). Short was a nail shot through a wire that I found and gained access to the second place I looked. Dead outlets in the garage was just a bad connection.
Chased things backwards needlessly a bit since I forgot that ground and N are common from the box. Oops. No harm done, just an hour or 2 wasted.
Kitchen cove base, 2 big ceilings, and a lot of wall to paint. Few more things to move out to Joe, I imagine. And a lot of curtains to wash. 3 known window actuators broken. Not fixing without request at $50/ea when someone may replace the windows.

On the other hand, 300sqft garage still still has 7’ ceilings.
What if you tore down that garage and built a bigger one with a better, wider driveway? is that even possible in the city limits?
I realize parking will still be an issue for your big rig and toys, but what if you had a bigger garage?

Tomorrow I’ll decide between light green, tan, or gray walls, and do all the cove base up here and in the kitchen. Couple minor electricals (new GFCIs), and that’s about the end of the interior list. Couple little things outside when I have a chance.
And then a bunch more stuff to move out that’s staged in the garage. Not great weather for that.
