Had a nice cloudy morning, so I was able to get up and start working on the roof again. My original intention was to clean the screw heads from all the tar and gook that had been used to stop leaks over the years. I discovered that, after much scraping and paint remover, the roof has been replaced at some point with a piece of galvanized metal instead of tin (no wonder I couldn't get it to shine). The problem is when they cut the piece, they didn't use over lap seams like they do on the sides- they just butt together, thus all the different sealants painted over it. I pulled the left side J-rail off to at least start cleaning. I have a couple posts out to find out the best way to reassemble and seal without buying a whole new top. This is going to get interesting, I have a feeling.
Going camping tomorrow for the labor day weekend- to bad we can't take the trailer, but it usually rains up there in Sedona- don't know which would leak more, my old tent or the trailer :)
