Weather
Weather on Thursday is unsuitable for open-deck work (rain, wind, or cold enough that shingles won't seal). Ask the crew to keep the deck dried-in those days. The deck is already dried in, so this is a delay risk, not a leak risk. Expected cost impact: $0.
| Day | High / low | Rain | Wind | Roofing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, Oct 6 | 64° / 47° | 5% | 9 mph | Good |
| Wed, Oct 7 | 66° / 49° | 10% | 11 mph | Good |
| Thu, Oct 8 | 58° / 46° | 70% | 18 mph | Rain likely |
| Fri, Oct 9 | 55° / 41° | 20% | 14 mph | Good |
| Sat, Oct 10 | 60° / 44° | 5% | 8 mph | Good |
Sample forecast. Shingles need temperatures above about 40°F to seal, and open-deck work stops for rain or wind over 25 mph.
Change order 1
Revised and approvedContractor's reason: Additional decking. Crew reports widespread delamination after tear-off.
ROOF analysis: Tear-off photos show rot along the south eave and chimney, about 6 sheets beyond the 17-sheet allowance. No damage was photographed elsewhere. The request is 25 sheets more than that, about $2,000.
Message ROOF sent, with your approval
Thanks for the change order. Before we approve it, could you send dated photos of each sheet location and mark them on a roof plan? Our records support about 6 additional sheets beyond the contract allowance, so we'd like to understand the difference of 25. Happy to approve whatever the photos show.
