Discovery of the Damage, Demolishing old roof, & Rebuilding
I opened the shed door the other day, & discovered water on the floor.
I had just made a new shed door about a year ago.
I thought the wind had blown water in from under the door.
Then I noticed sawdust on the floor with drip marks coming from above.
I looked up, & saw some funny looking white stuff coating the ceiling up in the corner above the
door. The top plate of the wall studs also had piles of sawdust on it, & ants galore!
Right away I knew I had some work cut out for me.
I also changed the roof to a gable end, instead of the old shanty style.
I tried the best I could to blend it into the Gazebo roof.
This project has taken quite a bit of my time, for past couple of weeks.
But all in all it's been kind of fun.

A close up view!
As long as There was so much damage, I decided to tear down, & rebuild the whole roof.
I also changed the roof to a gable end, instead of the old shanty style.
