Here is a H-O-T Project… We were asked to travel from the relative bliss of Southern California to the BLAST FURNACE of Palm Springs, CA – - – in – - – summertime to make a Palm Springs Classic Condo Leak-FREE and C-O-O-L-E-R too…
What do the “snow birds” who flock to Palm Springs, California and Palm Beach, Florida have in common? For the most part, they have already returned to their homes in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Connecticut by now! They have better sense…
continued…
So the desert is a wee-bit H-O-T… What’s the big deal? We love a challenge.
So off we go – against the flow of traffic fleeing Satan’s Furnace for cooler destinations. The only good news? We have two young contractors who are coming from an even more-mild climate than LA/OC. They live in Portland, Oregon and are driving down the scenic Coast Highways 1 & 101 for the coastal travel experience and upon their arrival – to get some hands-on experience with new technology roof systems. This might be fun after all…
But let’s start at the beginning.
EXISTING ROOF: 1 or more layers of Hot Tar & Gravel – leaks like a sieve.
OUR ROOF PROJECT TASKS: To remove one or more layers of decades-old, Hot Tar & Gravel Roofing from an Orange County Real Estate Mogul’s Palm Springs Hide-a-Way.
We have agreed to remove the old roof(s) down to the existing wood roof deck. Moreover, we are going to come up with a structural solution to eliminate the water ponding & pooling – we are not going to “surrender” and install some roof drains where roof drains were never meant to be! Furthermore, we intend to add significantly more R-Value by adding more roof insulation – modern ISO Board Insulation.
Finally, we are going to top-off the whole project with a Liquid-Applied, New-Technology, Single-Ply, Scrim-Reinforced, Cool Roof System that will reflect the punishing heat of the desert sun saving the owner significant energy dollars. Single-Ply Roof systems do not have to be white – they can be black. That’s why we add the Cool Roof designation for a clearer understanding.
Before we look at the roof in more detail, let’s see the inside! Let’s see what a “Classic Palm Springs” 1960’s-decorated condo looks like.
THE INTERIOR
We are told that this is the style championed in Palm Springs by Frank Sinatra and his “Rat Pack”who all made homes here. The condo is right off of Frank Sinatra Drive – very close to the “Sinatra Compound” – but without the high fences, and the video security cameras…
This place has lots of cool-to-the-touch tile floors in the entry, kitchen and seating areas but it still gets really, really hot inside. It gets hot early in the day. The three air conditioning systems have to run all the time to ensure any daytime comfort.
By the way, here is Frank Sinatra’s first Palm Springs home. Sinatra commissioned Twin Palms in 1947. He lived there for 10 years. It was built by architect E. Stewart Williams, setting a marker for modern living at the time. In fact, it was even featured in a film – The Damned Don’t Cry in 1950.
Back to checking out our condo – where we will be living with our Oregon visitors for about two weeks.
Once the home cools down it’s terrific. The few occupied-condos around us on the golf course – those that are not “mothballed” for the summer, are occupied by golf enthusiasts. We couldn’t help but notice that golfers would take off in their private carts before the sun is up – about 5:30 am. Wonder why?
The place is comfortable-enough, but we have to be careful. Removing an old roof is dirty business. Dust may filter into the home through skylights and vents.
We are going to get a bit dirty too – at least in the roof-removal stages. So we are going to have to make beelines right for the showers ourselves – before we settle in for the evenings.
We checked the garage for a pink Cadillac convertible – but it must be in the shop.
The dining room looked like a movie set so we had meals out. Palm Springs has some GREAT restaurants – maybe we’ll stretch this out to three weeks and invite the families out (BTW – we did just that…)
I took the “TV Room” with connecting private bathroom as my private suite. The quilt-covered couch is a bed of sorts.
Dan, our all-around foreman, called the Master Bedroom his.
John and Nathan, our new contractor-trainees took the guest bedroom suite and connecting private bath.
THE ROOF (Before)
Our client wants to deal with his inherited properties’ decades-long roof problems once and for all.
On this golf course, the privately-owned condos are essentially duplexes. Though larger and more opulent than traditional “duplexes” built for the rental markets, we are nonetheless faced with two homes under one contiguous-roof. Upshot? Half of this mess is our project – half not. The resulting “roof-connection” (new-to-old) is always an added issue. In the photo below, you can clearly see the the demarcation line. The photo is taken while standing on the “neighbors” also-failed roof…
Why not just repair the roof?
“This roof is a leaky fella…” I am a fan of the movie Fargo.
The roof Leaks. Big Time. Everywhere. The roof has five existing layers already. That’s already 3-layers more than the 2-layers that most local jurisdictions will be agreeable to. Moreover, experience teaches us that you are throwing good money after bad when attempting to repair a roof with multiple-layers of hot tar with embedded gravel in each layer.
The compounded total-weight of multiple roof layers is unappreciated by many homeowners! The combined weight of 5-layers is pert-near criminal. These incredible weights will permanently damage the roof structure of a home or commercial building!
“Oh, go ahead and install another layer – if its cheaper.” That’s just plain foolishness.
Unfortunately, there are roofing companies and non-licensed roofing people who will willingly go along with this thinking. They might even suggest it to the building owner (wink-wink…) Why suggest it? Easy… Money! Fast, easy money! No project planning, no oversight from local building officials, no roof-removal. In-N-Out in one day. Cash the check before the next rain!
These people will also suggest adding the new illegal layer on the weekend so the building owner can save yet more money by bypassing a “pesky” building permit. The truth is, building permits will not be granted to licensed people attempting to install an extra, illegal layer. Unlicensed people, of course, cannot even obtain the permit in the first place.
The number of installed layers aside – is there any other reason to not simply repair this roof?
Yes. The biggest and most obvious problem that this roof has is ponding. If examined by the untrained eye in dry conditions this critical issue might be overlooked. This roof has several ponding areas. Frankly, thanks to the short-sighted, prior decisions to overload this condo’s structure with 5-layers, the roof has been permanently “bent,” irreversibly “warped;” forever-damaged. These ponds are so pronounced that we essentially have Lake Palm Springs…
This lower level is so overwhelmed that its original slope to the edges has reversed such that water flows backwards to the stucco wall of the higher living room walls.
Here is a view raised living room. These six skylights are all possible leak sources. Moreover, since these were installed after the home was originally constructed, all of these large openings have further weakened the roof structure. This area also has ponding.
A view looking back at the raised living room roof.
Standing on the neighbor’s roof it is apparent that they too have multiple layers of roofing applied over the decades. See the “bunching” and “scrunching” of their top layers? That means that there are empty voids of air (or water) under there! The heat here will make building materials move and strain under the harsh conditions and temperatures.
ROOF REMOVAL
Dog gone it… Roof removal is for prison work gangs! It is hard, nasty, heavy, difficult work! But it must be tackled. A good roof is only as good as a good roof-foundation. Normally, we’d sub-contract this stage out to a roof-removal specialty crew – but we are out of our comfort-zone – and we don’t have the prior-experience to trust an unknown local firm. Besides- they probably escaped from the desert for the summer months just like the seasonal snow-birds! It’s 100º Fahrenheit by breakfast! The first order of business – have 1 of 3 of these 40- cubic-yard dumpsters delivered…
Next, we have to create a dividing-line – a line directly over top of the legal “common-wall” that divides our client from the neighbor. Old roofing is brittle, tears off in huge, odd-shaped chunks and a real mess. Cutting it is the best solution.
Our trainees (Nathan and John) showed up just in time for roof removal!
Dan and I couldn’t help but chuckle that this roof-removal process should kick their butts… We know it does – ours… Maybe they’ll wonder what they volunteered for. Truth is, they are good sports and rose to the challenge.
That insulated cooler of bottled water and sodas is never far from the work. The ice melts in mere hours.
Next time I grabbed the camera to photograph John and Nathan’s progress I couldn’t find them. I heard splashing noises from the pool. There they are!
Roof removal crews can make similar undertakings “look easy” as their crews often number about a dozen workers. On this condo, we have just the four of us – so it will take a couple of days. Moreover if you do the math ( 5-layers x 4,500 s/f = 22,500 s/f ) of yucky, dirty, hot & heavy roof to remove! That’s the equivalent-size of a significant commercial warehouse… Dan demonstrates the foot-positioning and finesse needed to dump just the debris without following the wheelbarrow into the dumpster…
We filled up 3 of these roll-off dumpsters in 3 days.
NOTE: We have a high, birds-eye view of the surrounding homes and golf course. We are not surprised to notice that there’s nary a soul in sight! People weren’t designed to function-well in this desert heat.
Man oh man it was HOT today! We got so little accomplished that we decided to float around the pool, take a long lunch at Marie Calendar’s in La Quinta and wait until the mercury lowers closer to 100º or so…
In fact – since all the neighbors have fled the desert for the summer months – we might as well work at night! Even if the neighbors were still in town, the HUM of air conditioners running 24/7 would drown-out our night time activities…
Hey this is the way to do it! The ice in the insulated cooler isn’t melting quite as fast either.
* * * TIME OUT * * *
UNEXPECTED VISITORS
We were having so much fun the first couple of days that we forgot to stock the fridge in case unexpected visitors show up.
See these conduits that run over top of an obviously old, obviously soon-to-be-replaced roof? These conduits protect the phone wires that connect the skylight alarm contacts to the alarm panel. Gee, I wonder if George Clooney’s crew (Oceans 11 ~ Ocean’s 12) could take advantage of alarm wires completely exposed like this? I wonder if the alarm installer explained to the customer where and how s/he ran the skylight alarm wires? When we figured out what these conduits were for, we chuckled at the absurdity of running the wires right where cat burglars could get at them and we also wrongly assumed that this must have been some long-ago, lame-installation from the 1960’s that roofers kept lifting up and somehow working their tar mops under each time an illegal roof layer was added…
Well, anyhow, to make a fun story short – we had a nice lady-visitor come to our project. Problem is, she left her sense-of-humor at home; she brought her gun, and a couple of guys in a helicopter to circle over top of us…
* * * BACK to ROOF REMOVAL * * *
It took the better part of one day to remove the hot tar from the six 4′ x 8′ Bristolite Skylights above the living room. We literally had to chisel off the old-technology, Liquid Dinosaurs inch by inch.
In the photo below, John is carrying off a sheet of plywood that was part of ROOF LAYER #4. Whoever installed illegal roof layer #4 knew that they have a huge lake developing here from the prior 3 layers of too-heavy roofing materials. So, to make their attempt at forcing rain water to the edges they built a furring-strip and plywood “HUMP” on top of the roofs under it. Better than nothing – but still shameful…
Here it is the third day of roof removal. Getting out of bed in the morning would be easier if we hired some physical therapists to assist us.
Not whining so much as we are all stiff and sore! Remember – we have had to remove and then wheelbarrowed not 1 but 5 condo roofs – - – 22,500 square feet of old roofing – 36 tons – 72,000 pounds of house-destroying debris to the 3 40-cubic-yard, 9-ton capacity, roll-off dumpsters…
There are a number of places where past leaks have rotted the plywood to the degree where we actually stepped right through. Fortunately we have yet to crash all the way through to the point where we have to make drywall repairs to the ceilings underneath.
We cut out any damaged CDX plywood and replace it. When the roof decks are completely cleared and repaired it is time for the City building department’s first inspection.
We are using a builders auto-level to determine how badly this roof structure has been damaged. Where this roof structure was once designed to shed water to the perimeter with a built-in pitch (a slight slope), it is now completely ruined. There are several depressed areas that we will have to artificially raise to once-again deflect water to the perimeter. Similar problems on large industrial buildings can be addressed by adding numerous, well-positioned roof drains. Adding roof drains to a home like this – with limited space between the roof deck and the ceiling just inches lower – is very expensive- if not down right impossible.
Its a good thing we covered the light-colored furniture inside the home – this pervasive, fine dust managed to work its way inside.
That same fine dust up here on the roof just refuses to be swept up. So we have to break out the gas-powered backpack blower and the hand-held electric blowers to get the wood deck clean enough for us prissy, professional contractors.
ISO BOARD INSTALLATION
Planning has a lot to do with the success of every project – especially out-of-town projects. Our shipment of Atlas ISO Insulation was right on time. We ordered it directly from the factory in Arizona. No, that whole truck load is not ours! We worked this out 4 weeks ahead of time such that a truck bringing material into Southern California for various Roof Supply Distributors was able to swing off the freeway in Palm Desert for sake of our particular project. What an amazing country we live in. Can you imagine such logistics actually “working out” so flawlessly in other countries?
While its still relatively cool at dawn, it will be hot very soon. We are stiff and sore and very grateful that this material is as light as it is considering we have no forklift and must unload it from the truck by hand and then get it up to the roof top by hand as well.
We got it to the ground so our truck driver could crawl into his air conditioned cab and escape to the coolness of Orange County – get some ocean breezes. Next we have to get all of this up to the roof.
For you D.I.Y. folks out there wondering how to get some of this fantastic Roof Insulation… There are several manufacturers of ISO Roof Insulation around the country. One nation-wide Roof Distributor that has a website is ABC Supply. Any roof supply distributor can arrange for you to get your hands on these products as this is a staple for Low-Slope, commercial and industrial building roofs; including “Big Box Stores” such as Costco, Sam’s Club, Lowe’s, Home Depot, WallMart, etc.
Time for a 2-hour breakfast at some air conditioned restaurant – or a swim – or a nap. Whew!
Nathan is getting a bit sunny looking. A bit more intense here – not like mild, laid-back Portland, Oregon…
Similar to the planning and efforts necessary to lay out a large ceramic tile floor, or installing carpeting in a large space, we need to get a couple of accurate, straight & 90-degree right-angle chalk lines marked on the roof so that these hundreds of 4′ x 8′ sheets of ISO will end up square, tight-fitting and logically installed.
Our client didn’t have the necessary budget to install a layer of 1/2″ CDX plywood over top of the 2-inch ISO board (the best, more durable approach) – so we really need to make certain that the butt-joints of these ISO Sheets are very tight, in square alignment, and flush – one with another.
We have installed about 80-feet of pressure-treated 4×4’s as the “Dividing Line” between the two legal condos below. This will provide us a straight surface to bring the ISO board up to and a visual, physical line that will protect our NEW ROOF from some unknown, roof-abusing animals that the other condo owner may hire to replace his leaking roof. If we come back a year from now to find our work damaged – there will be no excuse – since we’ve provided this workable dividing line.
To make certain the the owner of the other condo does not claim that we’ve added leaks to his side, we are sealing his old roof super-duper well. Then we’ll ask him to venture out into the desert heat – up here to see for himself the quality and sureness of the seal that we’ve created.
If we had our way, and a bottomless-checkbook, we would have installed 4-6 inches of ISO Board covered by a layer of CDX plywood. We’ve done projects with 5 and 6 inches of ISO on low slope home roofs – getting our R-Factors well into the R-50’s and R-60’s. These kind of numbers make an amazing thermal improvement. Our client is expecting to sell the property in the next few years and his heart and emotions are simply not in play here.
ISO Insulation can be held securely down to the roof using round or octagon-shaped, stamped metal (galvanized) plates and specially-treated, deck screws manufactured just for this purpose. There are also plates manufactured of various plastic resins – but on this project where we intend to coat directly over the ISO and the washers, we know that the 100% acrylic, elastomeric coating adheres more reliably to the metal.
We have to make corrections for the concave roof deck areas. We need to raise up a number of areas as much as 2-1/2 inches so that when our roof is complete that there will be no standing water – no ponding or pooling anywhere on our new roof. We are going to use some thinner sheets of “tapered ISO” and some very inexpensive, common, tapered roof stock made of ground-up cardboard-like pulp – also available at most any roof supply distributor.
Creating Raised Areas – Roof Speed Bumps…
In the photo below, we have constructed a 14-foot gentle speed bump. From the plywood the “speed bump” climbs up to its maximum height and then tapers back down to the plywood again. Here we have one sheet of the ISO Board System sitting on this “bump.” We had to go fetch a couple of boxes of some 5-inch and 7-inch roof screws to penetrate through these raised areas down to the original plywood deck where the screws could find a secure purchase.
Applying our new Roof Deck ISO Board over top of our water-deflecting Speed Bumps…
It takes lots and lots of screws and plates to pull the ISO Board down such that all the surrounding sheets are flush with each other.
Hey, John and Nathan are creating a precious patch of shade…
The brutal sun has set over the mountain that separates Palm Springs from the Pacific Ocean. We have the bulk of the ISO Roof Insulation fastened down – at least on the biggest section of roof area.
Next we addressed that busy raised area above the living room. Here we had to work the ISO Board around the 6 skylights. There were some pooling and ponding areas up here too – but we have addressed them. For thermal control we used some polyurethane foam to keep air flow from escaping from the inside.
We have a final roof section – a large rectangle of roof area above the master bedroom and master bath. The enormous weight of the 5-layers of roofing have somehow reversed the water flow direction of this roof area 180-degrees. We are not sure how. It may be that decades of overweight condition caused the inside, load-bearing wall to settle into the compacted sand-base upon which the property is built – or perhaps the weight was sufficiently heavy enough to compress the Douglas fir lumber that the load-bearing wall was constructed of? We don’t really know… Nor, with our budget already consumed, do we know what to do – so I called my wife and asked her to take a 2-hour drive out to our Blast Furnace for advice. Her suggestion – couched in the form of a question? “What is really plentiful in the desert?”
“Err… Ahh.. Sun? Heat? Pain? Nausea?” we replied…
“No silly boys – SAND!”
So went on a hunt for sand. Didn’t take long to find it. Then we got it up to the roof. Next we began to screed our new-found, FREE SAND – and sculpted it such that we were actually successful in reversing the roof slope! Weight? Dry sand is a whole lot lighter than the 5-layers of dense roofing we removed…
Dang! Those desert ants! They either bite or sting – or both.
With the Mrs. and the kids here – swimming was a must do for both the little kids and the big kids (our Portland boys).
We found ourselves behind schedule with the sun setting – once again. So we pondered the situation and decided that we should find a great restaurant – maybe in the La Quinta area by the Ritz Carlton and then come back and work the night shift…
By the way – here’s the fabulous Ritz-Carlton water feature – THIS ENORMOUS WATER FEATURE – is smack-dab in the middle of a desert that doesn’t have a n enormity of water. You’ve gotta love the Palm Desert Experience…
Dinner was terrific – but we have a schedule to maintain – so off to the Night Shift…
The next morning we got a better view of our night’s efforts. Now the roof flows OUTWARD – out to the roof’s edge – what a concept! We want to thank the desert ants who sacrificed themselves for this accomplishment.
We have run an “L-Metal” Flashing up the stucco on all three sides so that we have a professional, long-term roof-to-wall seal.
Now that we have that odd-ball Master Bedroom roof behind us, it is time to inspect all of the ISO Board and to caulk any gaps: fix any imperfections. Since we will be building a Liquid-Applied, Scrim-Reinforced, Single-Ply Roof System directly on top of the ISO Board we have to be very prudent. A Single-Ply Roof will telegraph any underlying imperfections through the Single-Ply – which would be visually distracting; will capture dirt and will make for a less-than-perfect roof project.
At the perimeter we need to install a Drip Edge metal to hide the raw edge of the ISO Board, to prevent water from getting under the ISO Board, and to assist water to drip slightly-away from the exterior walls.
We have had to disconnect and move the Primary Air Conditioner from the roof – and we feel the heat! There are two, smaller split systems – but taking 5-Tons of cooling off-line is very noticeable.
SINGLE-PLY ROOF SYSTEM (Fabric)
Again, planning has a lot to do with the flow of our project. Our hundreds of gallons of elastomeric coating and our rolls of specially-woven, polyester scrim-fabric are delivered right to our job-site.
When we do similar roofs in Mexico, New York, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Northern California – wherever – we will rent some high-pressure equipment for a few days. Here, in Palm Springs, we are just a couple of hours from home base – so we have our vehicles and our basic equipment with us.
Our Oregon Crew members have survived a week of Basic Training –(they had no clue… what they volunteered for)– and now they finally get to the “fun” part.
We hope that they’ve learned the not so subtle lessons of Basic Training however: “The REAL WORK – in ANY construction project is the BASE foundation.”
On this project the foundation took hundreds of hours of labor and thousands of dollars of expense to get us a workable Roof Deck Foundation. Creating a Single-Ply Roof System would seem easy to a new visitor that hadn’t been privy to the real work. Now that the roof deck is cleaned, the roof deck is now pitched and sloped correctly, now that there are no more ponding areas, now that there are hundreds of ISO board securely fastened, now that there are new Fascia boards installed, now that there are 100’s of feet of Factory-Painted Drip Edge and other building metals installed, now that the 15 or so skylights are restored, replaced in some cases and sealed, now that bizarre Alarm Wires and other wiring have been re-run inside the walls and ceilings (many of these tasks not bid nor charged our customer) – NOW they’ve learned the real lessons of a common – but complex project. Let’s have some fun…
So John and Nathan – have survived and now arrive to the Elastomeric Coating days. Grab the 4,000 p.s.i. “Magic Wand” and a roller and let’s build us a Single-Ply Roof System…
The coating is sprayed directly onto the ISO Roof Insulation and the Polyester Scrim Reinforcing is then rolled into the wet coating. Because it is so bloody hot here, we cannot go but a few feet at at time as the coating drys almost immediately upon contact with the black ISO material. Back-rolling with a paint roller is something that a most crews don’t do. Frankly, most crews don’t do much more than show up and spray a bunch of coating – and call their minimal efforts a “roof.” Sorry – not a roof! In fact, its more failure waiting to happen than a roof. (Oops, I’ve ventured off-topic). We use the roller to mechanically-bond the coating to the ISO and to make certain that we fully “wet-out” and adhere the polyester fabric – like a new skin – perfectly to the substrate…
This roof is so hot that we inch along as the coating dries almost in minutes.
The roof is carefully assembled – much like mowing a large lawn – back and forth – one course after another – overlapping the 40″ fabric by about 2-inches on each pass. The fabric is cut with a simple pair of scissors. We are careful to cut the fabric with care – making certain that the fabric extends well onto the 4-inches of Drip Edge Metal that surrounds the entire perimeter of the roof.
Same goes for starting a new course (like the photo below) the fabric is liberally placed onto the neighbors’ old roof – then UP and OVER our treated 4×4 and off on another 100′ run – course by course…
We have raked the loose gravel away from our neighbor’s “connection.” In fact, we even pressure-washed the old gravel roof so that we can bond to it securely. When we are finished we will rake loose gravel back up to the neighbor’s side of the 4×4.
Looking pretty sharp – eh?
Cutting the fabric to go around roof penetrations, and skylights is somewhat time-consuming and tedious. Patience, a paint brush and a small paint roller are useful tools for this work.
We have a couple of similar pictures of this area – but this is an instructive photo. Notice how the roll of fabric is significantly over top of the 2″ x 4″ Drip Edge Metal. These are critical details and we want maximum fabric overlap, contact and sealing.
Whether you need a helper in these “tight” areas or not – we want to convey some safety suggestions with this photo. Your hose-tender has a couple of tasks – the most critical one is to be cognizant of where the roof edges are and to constantly convey this to the applicator whose tasks involve moving steadily backwards. Here, Nathan is standing watch on John’s behalf. Since this project was completed, there are a lot more stringent requirements around the country as to fall-protection and you need to study up in your jurisdictions.
It’s been a hot day – a fun day – and we’ve gotten a lot accomplished.
Unlike some of the acre-sized commercial roofs, smaller residential roofs like this one have lots of details to attend to – so the speeds we gain from the power equipment that pumps the coating material effortlessly to the roof top is tempered somewhat by the necessity of a lot of time-consuming, hand detailing.
We decided to make little roof drains in our 4×4 Dividing Line – we want NO CHANCE of obstructed water flow…
We will likely finish the fabric and first-coating tomorrow…
Notice here that while Nathan is working a tight corner that John is visible in the background as his Nathan’s “tender” and Nathan’s “safety man…”
Well – sunset has come and gone! In any other city coating is usually curtailed about 3-4 PM – that gives 2-3 hours of remaining sunlight to thoroughly cure the coating as we don’t want nightly moisture to compromise the coating curing. Here – in the desert? We could coat 24/7… Does it ever drop under 90º here?
Early the following morning this FREE-Desert-Sand Sloped roof is looking pretty spiffy!
Hey, this raised roof area over the Living Room doesn’t look too shabby either!
Does this mean our Palm Springs “Vacation” is almost over?
The condo complex management is going to re-coat the stucco within 30 days so we will not detail the Roof-to-Wall connection. We wanted to go as high up the wall as possible as stucco weeps water on very wet, multi-day rain events.
If it were not for those plates – kids might want to drag a garden hose up here and make a Slip-N-Slide… What a difference from the 1st day.
Before we pack up and head back to cool and comfy Southern California we just need to bring the neighbor up here to “prove” beyond a shadow of a doubt that our “join” is more than water-tight. Then we will rake the loose gravel back over and up to the dividing line.
Why won’t it rain? I want some wet pictures :0(
Good Bye Palm Springs – we made some new friends – we had a blast!
Conclusion: We removed a heavy Hot Tar and Rock Roof, added increased ceiling-roof insulation, built a Single-Ply Roof System that is Liquid-Applied, Seamless, Elastomeric Rubber Roof often called a COOL ROOF SYSTEM.
