Harwood, President :Phoenix Homes, Inc. 206) 523-9500 www.phoenixhomesinc.com Followup! It's now 5 years later and I'm reporting. I did do the repair of the funky Dutch gutters at my roof edges, which were leaking into my house. I did it with cut up pieces of asphalt roofing material and a fair amount of roofing cement, built up in layers until there were no depressions for water to accumulate. That has kept those leaks from reappearing and I'm going to have the whole roof torn off and replaced as stated above, the last week of the month. Fingers crossed that it comes out OK. There's lots of dry rot that will have to be replaced. I hope they do the job right. Dan |
