Roof Coating Project

The first step was to replace and widen the fascia and flashing at the roof line.
Chuck and Chris cut pieces to install; second photo shows the clean finished look.
Fascia is wider, flashing is fabricated steel and comes coated with color on.

Chris, Alan and Chuck confab about roof section repair.

Yellow base coat has to be applied by hand at the edge.

Interior was rolled on.

Final coat is silver polyurethane epoxy.

After spending a month preparing the soil and clearing, the site looked like this,
(note the old turquoise flashing below the roof line):

Plugs of baby plants were ordered from North Creek Nurseries and New Moon Nursery:

The site was about 400 square feet so about 400 plants were installed, 10-12 inches apart.
Floating row cover was put on to protect from deer and give the plants a little extra support.
