DIY Painted the roof : Part Two

Well we painted another section of the roof. This time we painted the roof over the living room. The paint went further then expected.

Last time we painted the front porch.

What it looked like once finished, figures that the sun moved enough to provide shade once done😒

So let’s rewind to the beginning ⏪

▶️ So this is the section we were planning on painting.
Over the living room and bedroom on the south side.

Temps are in the 80’s, the heat started to effect me.
I had three helpers up there with me too. They ended up sitting in the shade and getting me cold drinks.
But it’s so cool being on the roof, unless it’s hot. Then they don’t think it’s as cool. Especially when I put them to work getting stuff off the roof, sticks/leafs/moss.

I had a few holes like these I had to dump paint in, like eight of these. 😞

So this paint is different from the stuff we used before. It’s thicker! It also seems to go farther!

We had to wait two weeks to use it, it’s been raining off and on. I was talking about buying it here. I think it’s worth the extra money. But we will be ripping the roof off next year, or at least that’s the plan.

Okay so back to my painting job.

This dude landed next to me, it’s a birch beetle. I always get the spruce beetles and birch beetles mixed up and call them the wrong name. These things creep me out when they land in my hair. They get stuck and are very loud when they fly. Kinda like a retro bug monster movie. They are evil looking too with those antennae.

Here is a side shot of the house and how far the paint went. Way farther then planned.

It really did cover a lot!

I want to buy more paint within the next few days while the weather is great and dry. The next three days are suppose to be in the upper seventies to low eighties.

We will need three more buckets at $97 a pop. But it seems to work when it comes to rain. So I hope it works when we have snow and ice on the roof, and those damn ice dams.

When we redo the roof I plan on insulating the hell out of the roof. I seen some of the old insulation and it’s sad and flat.
Anyways that’s what we did yesterday.

Hope you all are keeping cool in the heat and keeping warm in the snow.
