Would spray foaming the roof not help seal it whilst you save for replacing the roof?
@thechateauadventures 10 күн бұрын
I have no idea. Generally if there was an opportunity to foam something Curt would have been the first to suggest it (he loves expanding foam), so it may not be the right solution… possibly not least because the roof spans 480 square metres circa 5,000 square feet 👀 will ask the question thigh, thanks. ☺️

Hi Seth. Yes, we were able to fix the problem areas for now. Invariably until we replace the roof, there is always a risk that tiles will move or, in a very bed storm, that the water passes back up under the canal tiles. However, for now, we have no leaks ☺️

I take it skips are fierce expensive in La Belle France. A skip and a set of those tubes would save you a shed load of work moving those bags of rubble
@thechateauadventures Ай бұрын
They aren’t too bad. Circa €250 of 8m3 for 8 days. The challenge we had is that we only had about 2m3 of stuff which didn’t seem worth it plus the rubble wasn’t in one place so not obvious to pick one single spot for the skip that would be readily accessible for all the rubble we needed to dispose of. That being said, there’s some future projects where having tubes and skip combination will work brilliantly and save a lot of time 🤞🏼🙏🏼

slt, pas évident de se projeter avec un toit qui fuit, les tuiles semblent poreuses aussi, les épisodes météos en automne pluvieux sont fréquents dans votre région, donc priorité c'est le toit, le petit a les yeux de sa maman, bon courage
@thechateauadventures Ай бұрын
Je pense que les tuiles sont ok, mais elles ne sont pas accrochées donc le vent peut les faire bouger 🫣 nous voulons tout à fait refaire le toit dès que possible, mais sans vendre notre appartement à Londres nous n’avons pas d’autre option pour l’instant pour financer tout ça 🙁 Oui!

@@thechateauadventures tu devrais faire passer un spécialiste, la présence importante de lichen et le fait des taches non homogènes noires (pollution) font qu'elles ne sont plus hydrofuges, et font comme une éponge, il existe des traitements (saturant minéral) qui leurs redonnent leur étanchéité, si tu répares et laisse ton toit avec ce genre de problème, les liteaux et poutres etc.. vont garder l'humidité, et pourrir ! pas besoin de changer les tuiles ;) bonne chance

Most of the comments thus far are fairly gloomy. Personally I would prefer to sound a more optimistic note. However, I'm at loss to do so. I went to visit some cousins today who had to give up their lovely home and move to a nursing home. It's odd really that so often these hard decisions are determined by one of smallest rooms in the house, the toilet. Walkers and wheel chairs are practically incompatible with toilets as one ages. In a similar way roofs have a sort of "out of sight, out of mind" existence until they fail to do their assigned task properly. Perhaps it is a blessing to know the extent of the problem and seek a remedy to the roof problem before proceeding further with work that could easily be damaged in another storm. I wish you well.

@thechateauadventures Ай бұрын
True, and I agree with you in theory. However, this was an exceptional storm and we know plenty of roofs that were supposed to be ‘good’ that leaked in that storm. It was exceptional. We know we need to change our roof and we will once we have the funds to do so. In the interim we are fixing it as best we can. Typically it doesn’t leak 99% of the time… thankfully 🙏🏼 or every other episode would be about our roof leaking 😬

Us neither given the choice. But we didn’t have too many options as our London flat sale hasn’t gone through and the bank which had given us a loan in principle closed its doors just as we were about to sign for the loan. As we don’t have a spare €250,000 lying around to redo the roof yet we are doing the best we can with the resources we have. The roof doesn’t actually leak in 99% of cases thanks to the work we have done to patch it up - only in extreme weather. But agree that the optimum would have been to do the roof first. C’est la vie 🤷🏽♂️
