Work in progress

This was kind of an unique set of circumstances involving this roof. It was started in August of 2008 when the original roof was removed and another story added to the house. We came in and started the project and installed peel and stick on all eaves and valleys plus installed Titanium 30 on the balance in preparation for shingling with 30 year laminates on the 10/12 pitch.

Before we could get started shingling the neighbour complained about height and it took a year to resolve which resulted in 5 feet being lopped off the top creating a flat section which we are doing in a 2 ply torch on. In the process I had a fall on another job which resulted in a crushed pelvis and broken wrist which delayed things further. The 2.2 mil base has been sitting for over 2 years until I have been able to return to do the 180 brown cap sheet.

Very nice. Its great to see the quality of a craftsman at work.

Nice work. Glad to see somebody else knows how to employ a tinner's wing. Nice. :) Not to mention that seeing details tell a lot more than a pic taken from across the street.

You end up quite dirty due to the oxidation of the 2.2 mil base after 2 years.

The edge metal was installed about 1 month ago in preparation for the 180 granulated capsheet.

When torching the capsheet I keep my torch pointing away from the lap so after it is laid the 3" lap seam is still loose.

I then use my special detail trowel which is shiny smooth on one side to torch the lap.

I use a small detail torch running the head in under the lap seam and the trowel to push out the molten material.

This results in a consistant 1/4" to 3/8" bleedout with no risk of any voids or cold spots.

Any butt end joints are blacked out before installing.

All bleed out is covered with matching granules.
