A rennovation exploration

drive in carwash

The recent snow proved to be too much for our garrage roof, but not in the catastrophic failure way we had hoped. the pool of water on top found a lot of little holes to get through so we had a nice spritz going in the garage.

A little tar goop from Ace Hardware (got it all over our helpful hands) and a new roll of shingles fixed the problem right up (we hope). We haven't actually put any water on the roof, but we can only assume that two cans of goop sealed everything. The ideal situation would involve a new roof, but we're currently hoping for new walls at the same time we get a new roof. All told the project cost under $50 and that's the right range for our high dollar garage.

As a special side note, the roof goop was only $8.99 at Ace instead of $14.99 at our least favorite Depot. As an added bonus, there is no stupidity to endure when getting the roof goop at Ace. As usual the Habitat for Humanity Outlet helped save the day with a full roll of felt paper for $5. If anyone needs some felt we still have 3/4 of the thing left. I'll sell it to you for $15.

Perhaps next time it snows the whole garrage will fall over and we can get a new one. Nature, if you're reading this, please have a North wind handy so teh garage falls onto the carport and not the neighbors new fence. We want a new garage, not angry neighbors or a fence building project.
