The plan was to tear off the balance of the eastern facing roof and replace the bad wood. The bad wood runs the entire length of the house from front to back. It is the area where the carport attaches to the house. I would guess that someone walked on the valley and cracked the shingles, which allowed water to reach the planking.
The rotten wood was all on the carport side of the roof, which was a very good thing. When I say that, I mean that any water that leaked through the damaged area would drip to the floor of the carport. The only exception was the storage shed.
With the damaged area removed and replaced, it was time to start the tearing-off the shingles on the house. It went rather well, considering the temperature and the fact that we had a few rain scares.
We had been planning to load the trash into the back of the truck and drive to the landfill for disposal. The charge for roofing scrap is $54.95 a truckload. One charge for as much or as little as you care to load. CMV bought some construction trash bags, and started loading up the bags. We soon learned how much trash we were going to have to haul. We estimated that we would need to take four trips to the landfill @ $54.95 and that does not include the gas for the trips. CMV decided to check the availability of a small dumpster. We were not sure if they would be able to maneuver anything down the lane due to the large trees and the narrow lane.
I want to post that CMV did a fantastic job of bagging all of the roof scrap. Nice job!!
