Good morning beautiful Nauts! ๐
Another cuppa #coffeeโ before returning to my reroof project. Sunroof leaked and rotted out the joists, so leaving it off this time. Have to replace one more sheet on the "okay" side this morning, then underlayment paper and roll roofing, finish up with Henry's. Hopefully get it all done before it gets nasty late this afternoon or tomorrow.
@FireMonkey flat roofs.. ugh. You're brave, FM. ๐
@BosmangBeratna
Not brave.
Has to be done.
So do it.
The failing structural brickwork is worse.
120 year old slaked lime mortar is really just sand at this point.
I love me some precarious situations. 11/10, friend. That's no small undertaking
@BosmangBeratna
Yeah it's the failing brickwork. That's swelling out in about to collapse. That's going to be the real problem for temporaries. I'm putting plywood on both sides and bolting it together and slowly keep turning the bolts the charge back in place again ๐ hahaha
@BosmangBeratna
I'll post pics when I do it.
( the voice to text in that last post...whew. )
@FireMonkey I don't envy you the project. I've worked on 3 different old brick building retrofits (one of which was the Western Metals building in Petco Park) and they can be a real PITA! Lots of drilling and epoxy for Tee iron and steel flat bar straps.
@BosmangBeratna
Sounds exceptionally tedious, and absolutely comprehensive.
*shudders in ADD*
@BosmangBeratna The work itself wasn't particularly challenging (aside from site specific logistics) or dangerous, so I wasn't complaining at the time. LOL. I imagine that the engineering behind it was...interesting.
@FireMonkey
@FireMonkey @BosmangBeratna did something like that in a failing foundation wall, worked surprisingly well. Good luck!
@FireMonkey that's ingenuity, right there. โ ๏ธ
