Evening of Day One. We decided to document the transformation of the house as it transitions from ugly duckling to beautiful swan (OK, at least a mallard duck).
One of our biggest concerns is the condition of the roof. The roof over the garage (which was an addition to the original house), is sagging badly and looks like it does not have enough support in the rafters to support the winter snow load. The garage has been leaking, as well as some other parts of the roof. Bathroom ceiling (which is adjacent to the garage) has a severe leak that we got to see in action during one of our walk-throughs of the house during a nice rainstorm.
The garage rafters look like they were just stick-framed in without any webbing, just a single board running from the existing home wall to the to plate of the outside garage wall.
