Rain and Roof Leak in the Kitchen (again) · · PAGE 55.
March 21, 2018: We had some heavy rain
one day this week. The leaves and the pine tree pollen debris (brown
stuff) that was piled up on the roof of the Florida room has exposed the need
for more leak treatment up there.
I took the leaf blower and my leaf rake up on the roof and started
clearing the area preparing for another leak treatment up there.
The whole roof over the Florida room is now cleared. I got down on
my knees to examine where I can apply more sealant. I have found a
professional roof sealant available at Lowe's and will put it on the suspected
leak area when the weather is warmer to help with curing the stuff.
March 29, 2018: I looked at the photo
above taken on March 21 and zoomed in to show a hole where ants were going in
and out of that hole and another hole on the other side of the vent
pipe. The photos showing the new BLACK sealant are on the NEXT PAGE.
I did not see the ants until I went up to put the sealant on this pipe on March
29.
March 21, 2018: As long as I was on the roof, I took a few photos of the golf course work
behind our house. The area on the left of this photo with the white pile
of sand is naturally a low area where they will install a sewage pump station
over in the area where the older trees will remain. Fill dirt has been
added to level up the lot on the left of the putting green. There will be
two homes built on these two lots. My recent map from the city is shown on
page 54.
This is the north edge of the roof with the gutter now completely cleared
of leaves and debris. My leaf blower is ready to clear the gutter on the
west side of the guest room.
These photos were taken with my personal cell phone and reprocessed to my
normal sizes for these web pages. Here is a wider view of the work area
and the back yard that was always part of the golf course property in the green
grass located on this side of the putting green. The black fabric
construction fence with the white wooden stakes is located at the property line
that is 15 feet north of the two bedrooms on the north end of the house.
With improving weather coming in the next few days, I will be up on the Florida room roof to spray the sealant.
