Inspection Notes:
Roundhouse Building (round area of roof)
The slate roof was looked at from the ground using binoculars. This slate is a purple slate that is probably the original roof.
The slate is shaling, mainly the top layer. I was not able to tell how soft the slate is.
Not knowing when the roof was last repaired or how often it was repaired makes it difficult to determine how many repairs
will actually be needed after the initial repairs are performed. The condition of the nails are unknown.
There are approximately 100 slates that need replacing initially.
The upper wall slates have some that are hanging and loose. Winds can cause these to become more loose. These wall
slates should be face nailed using copper ring shank nails. Within a year the shiny copper will dull down and blend in with
the slates. The upper roof has asphalt shingles, the exact condition is unknown. The left side looks to be concave at the
eave. This may have been built like this or there could be some rotting deck boards.
It is hard to tell how long this slate will last until replacement is needed. It will become obvious that replacement is needed
when there are multiple repairs needed, at multiple times per year. The slate will not change overnight, lasting 20-25 years
should not be a problem.
The slate on the adjacent gable type roof is a newer Vermont slate that needs some slates replaced. Most of these slates
are at the snowguard area. Once these slates are replaced and the slates continue to break, more snowguards will need to
be installed above the existing guards to help stop the guards from being overstressed. Approximately 35 slates need
replacing. One soil pipe flashing flange needs to be replaced with a copper flashing.
