I started by destroying all of Matt's hard work. Most of the tar paper came right off. The backside it just peeled off startlingly easily.
It put up a little more fight on the slab side. I will need to climb on the roof to get that off.
While I was ripping it off, I found another sheet that needs at least partial replacement; it was delaminating.
I already have a 18" piece cut, so I will just replace the bottom part, the delamination was only about a foot into the board. I got it all marked and ready to cut.
On my way out today, I saw the turkeys that frequently nest in the woods by the creek on my property.
I also took a fall picture on my way home.
Tomorrow will be interesting. I have a lot to do (cut the plywood, rip everything out, put in the new plywood, and put the house wrap up) and not a lot of time to do it. It shouldn't take long to put the house wrap on the roof once the plywood is replaced. Depending on when I get out of work (I have a meeting that runs until 5PM tomorrow which most likely means a late day) I might skip replacing the plywood and just get the house wrap on it to seal it and then replace the plywood before I do the roof itself.
I also tried climbing on the roof today. It is ok as long as I stay on a rafter that is in between sheet edges. If I step more than an inch or two off of that, it felt like I would go through (several inches of bowing). Even on the rafters at the edges of the sheet if I distributed my weight non-centered on the rafter, it started to tear the nails through the plywood. This means that if I do the roofing myself, I would need to toss a sheet of meatier plywood up there to work on. It was also rather painful (I sprained the MCL in my right knee). Maybe I can entice some help with pizza?
No movement on the checklist.
