Replacing a Roof on a Small Building - PEP BB homesteading.straw.replaceroof

Quick question.  What if the building had a different kind of roof and you are putting on a new metal roof?

Good question.  I think the point of this one is to show that you can install metal roofing more than you can replace it.  I'll change it above...

Does "building" include structures such as large sheds with no walls?

Yes, I think that fits.  The goal of this is to show that you can do some metal roofing.  I'll adjust the BB a bit to reflect that.  Thx!

This is a repair job on a pump house shed at my sister's house.   On last visit I replaced all the rotten frame components of the structure, and this visit I did the metal work.   Tropical storms had beaten the shed up badly.   The roof panels over-hung too much and the winds folded one panel up and it has flapped so much that one corner disintegrated.   So, I removed that panel, trimmed the other one that was too long but still good, and also covered one wall that was blown out.

My cordless batteries went dead using the saw to cut, so I finished with a $5 pair of shears I got from a flea market ...it worked better than the saw.

Otis should know my true colors and this little project will show them.   For a functional out of site out building, I'm ok with doing a quick and dirty job.   I use used materials whenever possible ... even the screws were used.

If the project needs to look nice; I can do that too.   The last pic is of my mom's roof which I installed in 2020 during Covid.

I'm reusing an old shed for my new pumphouse. The frame, we kept. The siding and roofing had to be new, on account of roof leaks.

It was old shingles. I used metal roofing from a metal shed that never got put together. I cut the pieces to fit the four slopes of the roof for this 12x8 foot shed. I bent and screwed in place the edges for flashing. I used an angle cap for the top-most peak cap.

I replaced a 1x12 foot section of roof with water damage.

The only thing I bought new were screws.
