A. Repairs of existing roof and garage: There is no electricity or plumbing in the structure. • Remove and replace the metal roofing, asphalt shingles and roof sheathing on the entire roof area. This will allow a new roof covering of the same age, with a new warranty and the removal of deteriorated sheathing. • Remove and reconstruct the gable end wall. If platform construction is used and the wall studs only extend to the attic/ceiling joist level, it may be possible to leave the lower framing (from slab to attic level) in place and pull the wall framing back to a plumb condition as it is currently bowed to the midheight of the windows. If this is not possible, the entire gable end wall should be reconstructed, and the abandoned chimney removed. The wall construction includes clapboards, exterior sheathing, wood studs and interior tongue and groove planks. • Remove and reconstruct the rear half of the roof framing including damaged rafters (and ridge beam), ceiling joists and tongue and groove planking attached to the underside of the ceiling joists. Reconstruct an access hatch to the attic space. Provide a continuous connection between the gable end wall and attic framing. • Before implementing permanent repairs, at a minimum, the attic/ceiling should be temporarily shored along the gable wall to prevent further collapse. Wood blocking should be installed to connect the ceiling framing to the gable wall to stabilize this area until permanent repairs can be made. B. Demolish and replace garage structure: • Demolish existing structure, inclusive of chimney stack. • Demolition of electrical, mechanical and plumbing is excluded from the scope as the garage structure lacks these building systems. • Remove all debris from site and properly dispose per regulations. • Build new structure on existing 24’ X 20’ poured concrete foundation. • Electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems excluded from the scope. • Structure must contain both a manual garage door (standard 9’ X 7’) and a 9-light exterior access door in the front (seen in photo below). • Structure must include a pitched roof. • Structure does not require an interior ceiling, attic, insulation or windows (exposed interior framing and rafters is preferred)
