Even on a rainy day, your home is 99% drier than its been since the 1980s.....

[@Logan-o5h]

BUT LOOK!! Big storm and it is still mostly dry inside!! Yes, some leaks, but that is nothing like it was raining inside before.

[@meemawpdx2986]

[@martinbarker5045]

The stonework looks fantastic. I really do hope that you have saved the OSB and framework that you have worked so hard to build. Good luck mate and the rest of the team.

[@TomTomicMic]

The framework will be alright, it was treated wood, will need a spraying of wood treatment when slates are put on though, OSB board really needs replacing on the first finished end though, the other parts should be okay, depends on what the Winter weather brings!?!

[@KjerstiNagel]

@@TomTomicMic It depends on which OSB boards he used. No1, 2 or 3. No 3 can resist some water.

Oh Dan, you are so right, it’s such a curse of trying to put the roofs on the chateau. So dangerous like the first one that was properly fitted out like Brian did on the 2nd roof. Good luck with getting the A-frames up tomorrow, We know how determined you are to get it all sealed up. I wish you all the best. ☘️

[@dennispatrick4999]

Wish he had tiled to first 2 mansory roofs. Oh, well.

[@donmorrow1923]

@@dennispatrick4999 I know they brought the tile in but I would think watching some other chateau Reno’s, you’d need a pretty calm and dry day to do that and sealing the chateau would take the priority right now. 3 man crew, but I love the stone masons speed and skill repairing that lower section of the chateau.

[@dennispatrick4999]

@donmorrow1923 RIght, but Dan had the Window to tile the first 2 Mansory Roofs. At least they would have been finished and sealed prior to winter. I did construction and get that there's so much work for him to deal with. But, he shouldn't jump around so much. He started to seal windows; but stopped doing it. The Turret could have waited until the other 2 roofs were tiled. Yes, man power is an issue.

[@donmorrow1923]

@@dennispatrick4999 There’s also the gutters that need to be formed, fitted and installed with the downspouts and proper drainage around the chateau. Endless project for these roofs.

I don't think the slate will go on until next Spring (Hopefully not during Winter anyway), so more repairs required, I think they understand the urgency and are doing their best, but it's a big project, this time next year will see a big improvement in the roof, hopefully all will be finished by then, that will be a big milestone!?!

[@iu.5146]

Dan, you are slipping into some old, risky patterns. It’s not important to get the roof on by the end of the week. You are an employer and first priority is safety and quality of work. Secure the roof membrane with wooden slates to prevent further damage. The cold and wet/slippery season is approaching. You don’t want to be on that slippery membrane, time and again. The slats also provide some grip when on that roof. Once that is in place, you should focus on the next roof. Life is all about learning to control our emotions and impulses and make rational and logical decision. It is a difficult art to master but it improves life significantly. Your viewers will thank you! 😉

I must admit I can't understand why the later waterproof membrane didn't have more nails on it as with the slightest breeze it was lifting at the edges. Also why didn't you attach the wooden buttons as Brian did earlier 🤔🤔🤔

[@Andbygrace7024]

😮 scarey tarps blowing in your face so high up there.....

[@scottwalker5905]

Sorry Dan…you are using the wrong fasteners for your roof membrane! The nails with a plastic washer keep the membrane from tearing off the nails you used! The washers spread the surface area of the fasteners.

[@TJ13062010]

Also, he should have mounted the counter battens on all roofs not just on one. They really secure the membrane against those conditions...
