The south end of <br />the structure has walls that provide near midoofanl�`hP�educestthe <br />rafters, the north end does not. The steep P� <br />amount of live load the roof can expected to carry. <br />C. Gypsum board has been nailed <br />limits the inspection of the <br />exposed rafters at the south <br />condition. A full wood plank <br />the rafter; it doesn't appear <br />deck. The south end decking <br />rot; recommend replacing the <br />roof. The water staining of <br />leaks; recommend checking of <br />prior to roofing overlay and <br />to the underside of the rafters which <br />rafters themselves. The partially <br />end appear to be in satisfactory <br />deck has been nailed to the top of <br />that roofing paper is on top of the <br />that is exposed has significant dry <br />�iry rot decking at both ends of the <br />Lhe gypsum board would indicates roof <br />decking above the stains for dry rot <br />replacing as necessary. <br />D. The exposed composition asphalt shingle roof wearing surface is <br />nailed to the roof deck with galvanized nails. The shingles <br />aren't of the self sealing type and can be easily lifted. In some <br />places the shingle is missing and the wood roof deck can be seen. <br />There is significant cracking of the shingles. Moss has <br />accumulated along the butt of most shingles: cleaning or use of a <br />moss killer to extend roof life doesn't appear to be economical. <br />E. No positive roof ventilation exists. Openings to the garage below <br />combined with the large attic area appear to provide sufficient <br />ventilation. <br />F. The roof has vinyl gutters nailed to a limited facia. Some minor <br />limited facia dry rot exists at the south west garage door; other <br />facial and end pieces checked appear satisfactory. The gutters <br />need cleaning; most debris is roof granuals. <br />G. The brick chimney is reported as being abandoned. No provision <br />has been made to prevent the intrusion of water. If the chimney <br />is reactivated, a new concrete cap is needed and some of the <br />spauled brick needs repair and water proofing. <br />H. Some attic insulation exists but is largely ineffective because <br />the south end does not have hetween rafter or wall stud <br />insulation. <br />I. In my opinion the wearing surface is no longer serving its <br />intended purpose and in all probability the roof leaks. It may be <br />Wei�s Inspection Page 5 <br />�� <br />� <br />
