Called Sean promptly
at 7 to let him know about the two additional roof leaks. Brian Dunleavy pulled
in a few minutes later, ready to start putting on the fabric they use under
standing seam metal roofs. After
consulting with Sean, asked Brian to come back on Friday so that (a) Goose
Creek can try again to stop the roof leaks on Tuesday and (b) we can float test
the results in the rain that is forecast for Thursday. Perry and I finished putting up the sauna
building soffits, then started stapling 30# builder’s felt (aka: tar paper) to
the wall sheathing. Perry left for a
dentist appointment midmorning. While he
was gone, I went over the sauna building roof with a fine tooth broom, applying
Zip Tape to anything that even vaguely looked like a hole in the
sheathing. Then I started filling the
house basement control joints with a special concrete caulk… running out of
caulk just as the low lunch alarm went off.
When Perry returned after lunch, we put up some more tar paper, then installed
the two Anderson 400 series 135R casement windows, following the taping and
sealing procedure Sean uses. Them windows is totally waterproof! Perry and I
finished the day by finishing the tar papering.
