The den corner eave was rotten at the tip the day I moved in, however with all the other work needed I just now got to this a year later.
It’s a lesson all homeowners should be aware of, what looks like a minor repair can turn into much bigger, this hole in the corner actually had damage to 4 boards which had to be replaced. 2 of the longer boards had the rotten section removed and new wood added, the metal roof edge was unscrewed and lifted to allow the new wood to go behind the roof.
Shower rebuild in guest house
Well I have not posted in weeks, because the shower rebuild is taking longer than I wanted, I had to get more cement board and I needed “Red guard” to protect the walls, Cement was poured onto the rubber liner, The sub-floor below the liner is 2 sheets of 1/2″ plywood, plus 1″ tapered cement that is tapered to about 5/8″ to the drain that said I just now started to tile, once it gets finished I will make another post with the finished look, I’ve also replaced a window and some other repairs, hopefully in another week the guest house shower will be finished.
You really have to like the improvements with tile, so many choices compared to what they offered 20 years ago, or go back and look at the 1950’s tile when they really used 4″ square tiles as the norm. not to mention the chicken wire and cement they had to deal with. Now it’s cement board nice and flat and strong.
