The Roof Saga, part 2

As we explained in the last post our roof has issues (yes, we know that's an understatement). Now that it's summer we want to correct the issues and re-roof it properly.

As you may recall, this section of roof was in very bad shape and leaked badly.
In the last post we explained that we just did enough work to get it rain worthy, but we knew that it was only temporary... what we didn't mention is that Dan had actually looked under all that metal roofing and saw another roof.
We decided that it was time to bring what was in darkness into the light. 

Dan began by taking off the temporary flashing and the eve extension that he built
last December and then he started removing the corrugated metal roofing.

 The previous builder (and we use that term loosely) had used 2" x 6" rafters with some 10" wide tongue and groove boards for roof decking. The tongue and groove was very dry and brittle.

With all the metal roofing and roof decking off a new mystery appeared...
It may be hard for you to see the issue from this photo...

But now you can see the issue.

The original roof over the guest bath is lower by 16" or so than the main roof!

Here are a couple of shots so you can see the roof arrangement better.

Here is a shot from a different angle
(standing on the roof of the studio area, looking toward the street).

What is up with this design?!!!

More to come...
