Layin' Rubber....

...but not the tire kind
this saturday i will finally be doing the roof on my garage. for the past 5 years it has leaked and ruined most of my tools or anything else that has been stored in there.

i picked up 1500sq-ft worth of rubber last friday along with 44 sheets of fiber board and all the other little things needed to get it done.

i will be so happy to have a dry garage this winter!!!

so..if anyone is in the area and wants to swing by, feel free.
we could always use an extra hand lumping stuff up the ladders, haha

Wish I could. To be honest, I kinda like doing roof work. :shrug:

Awesome man, it is a great feeling to have a dry usable garage space. Little steps at a time, it will get there.

At least you can peel the blue tarps off the roof now :laugh:.

 

[ElKy]

actually...its more like rake up the blue threads off the lawn...
most of the tarps have shredded and dispersed around the neighborhood.

...but not the tire kind

With you as the thread starter I wasn't thinking of the tire kind either.

 

[ElKy]

i don't understand?

oh..you mean like condom rubber?!?....never used one.....

 

[BloodyTomFlint]

I did once. Sucked.

Damn I wish I could help, but I'm going to be working that night! Good luck!

 

[ElKy]

well got it done this weekend.
we got all the rubber down by 7pm saturday and i finished the seams and drip edge at 6:45pm sunday night.

now bring on the rain!!!

I'm so impressed that you've finally tackled that project.
It calls for a celebration!

 

[ElKy]

yup....i would say party on the roof, but i dont think it could support more than 4 people.
haha

i plan on celebrating by cleaning out the garage and doing some interior gutting and rebuilding.
that is, when i have the time!
haha

 

[elraido]

Roof like that would not work here. Wish it would, because it is so much easier to do! Looking good!

 

[ElKy]

trust me a roof like that sucks here too.
i have to shovel it off a few times a year.
if i had planned on staying in the house, i would have built a slightly pitched roof on top of the flat one.

 

[frenchblueC2]

huhh huhhuhuhuh
you said "pitched roof"

 

[ElKy]

that's right Elky takes it beyond the tent...all the way to the roof!!!!
