| Nov 19, 2018 at 22:05 | comment | added | Donald | How well does a product called Timbor work for treating dry rot? Is it worth it? Can Timbor be used with rubbing alcohol instead of water? | |
| Nov 19, 2018 at 22:03 | comment | added | Donald | Also, I have new information and it looks like the torch down was placed over compound 90, which is not the same material as the rest of the house. The rest of the house has composition shingles. | |
| Nov 19, 2018 at 22:02 | comment | added | Donald | What do you mean by bad decking? And spot fixing from rafter to rafter? I only see one bad rafter, and it has a bad area from that is about 2" from the top in a 2 x 6, and extends about 2 feet, but the bad area from the top tapers off from 2" from the top to 0" from the top over the two foot length of dry rot. And the bad area in the rafter is at least 1/2" deep from the sides. | |

The rafter damage is up to 2" from the top in some places, and approximately 1/2" or a little more deep from the sides. When rot is detected in the plywood, do you remove all the plywood? Or just where it is detected? | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 2:44 | comment | added | Donald | Is torch the best application for the porch awning given the conditions and age of the rest of the roof? The rest of the house is in much better shape and has a more expensive type of composition shingle. | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 2:43 | comment | added | Donald | Is it considered proper to do a double layer of torch? one under the drip edge and one above it? | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 2:42 | comment | added | Donald | How much overhang on all sides should there be with torch down? What type of repair would you do to the rafter? | |
