[QUOTE="timoyz, post: 201820, member: 10"] I've had to shelve dirt scootering for a while, to werk on this old house. What started out to be a cast iron drain replacement to the up stairs, has ended up to be a major pain un the ass. There was also an old packaged A/C unit over the bathroom, that didn't work, and leaked when it rained. So looking at the attic, with a little work, which ended up to be a lot, I could get a fan unit there, and eliminate the roof penetration nightmare. First I redid the electrical, and eliminated the old knob & tube crap. Then insulation, and a 3/4" plywood floor gave me an area for the fan unit. Then the removal of the flat roof, to replace it with a gable roof to give access clearance to the attic.(Which is when I started taking pictures. B/H on one of the few times he's helped. [ATTACH]28566[/ATTACH] Almost stripped. [ATTACH]28567[/ATTACH] Done with the wrecking bar. [ATTACH]28568[/ATTACH] The mess down below. [ATTACH]28569[/ATTACH] Bathroom floor joists were 1/2"+ out of level, so it was removed also, and sister boards were installed. [ATTACH]28570[/ATTACH] Someday I'll get to the last of the old electric. [ATTACH]28571[/ATTACH] This made it not too bad to do werk. [ATTACH]28572[/ATTACH] Starting to take shape. [ATTACH]28573[/ATTACH] Then the effing rain came last week. [ATTACH]28574[/ATTACH] Which brings it to it's current state. [ATTACH]28575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]28576[/ATTACH] I'm doing a staycation (first one ever for me) this week, trying to finish up getting ready for the HVAC guy coming in Friday.
