One long weekend

Brian came up for the weekend and helped with a lot of things.

First, though, the roofers came to replace the membrane roof.

They also replaced some pieces of plywood. It was 1/2" again.

And repaired some of the pieces that were chewed up and/or rotted.

They laid down foam to create a slope so water wouldn't pool in the middle of the roof.

Applying the membrane.

Then, a bunch of fiddly bits. Fiddly bits always seem to take forever.









All this was completed on Friday, except for one piece of trim which didn't get sent correctly.

I spent a bit of time pulling some more carpet pad staples and Heather took out some closet components (doors and shelf parts) to allow access to the wood floor for the flooring crew.

Here is a list of the things Brian and I did:

Installed ceiling fan boxes
Ran new wiring to fan boxes
Installed new switches for fan and fan lights
Changed switched outlets so they were constant hot
Removed the rest of the 5/8" ply subfloor in the addition
Added some blocking under the addition subfloor to stiffen the floor (at the sliding glass doorway and at the walkway between the addition and kitchen - both high traffic areas)
Added some blocking under the toilet since it was unclear how much water damage there might be due to toilet leak
Changed a leaking S trap in the full bathroom
Changed a leaking toilet seal in the full bathroom
Changed the toilet shutoff valve from crappy to a 1/4 turn ball valve
