9:29: The somewhat tidy attic in the dim light from the window.
9:34: Taking one of the rotten boards out.
9:46: The underside of the above board.
9:50: Surveying the damage
Removing the boards meant I could stick my head out through the roof to look at the damaged area and see how extensive it was. It could have been worse. The beams look bad but were actually fairly solid.
9:50: A slightly wider shot with more visible damage and a leg to give you a sense of scale.
The beams are 16 inches center-to-center.
9:50: A detail shot of the damage.
10:00: Meanwhile, on the back of the ranch:
The far side of the roof was spared the attentions of the previous owners so was in fine shape. Annoyingly so was the roofing they took off on that side, it just wasn't worth attempting to keep when they were doing the rest. (It had another 2-5 years of lifespan and the roofers wouldn't warrantee any of it if they did a partial job).
10:24: Putting in the replacement boards.
10:24: The rest of the crew had the front under sheets on.
This is the part that actually keeps most of the water out. The lower edge is a different colour as it's an ice shield as well.
