Like teenage acne

The roof condition continually worsened. Turns out the roller applied membrane was not UV rated and was not even intended for a horizontal application. The distributer tried to make good with some patching material, but my confidence level deteriorated along with the roof.

A plan to apply two layers of heavy plastic seemed good, but the issue of friction slippage worried my engineer. And that worried me.

In the end, we hired the guys with the painted truck to apply a 45mil EPDM rubber sheath over the whole thing. Basically condomed the roof to protect against natures evils.

Katie sits on a rock at the rivers edge and wishes the house to be done.

Miller Stoneworks put together a time lapse slideshow of the fireplace project. It is really a fun two minute watch. Click on this link to watch it http://millerstoneworks.com/html/slideshow.swf
