The garage roof is leaking!
Today, it has a flat roof with a parapet around it. The walls seem to be constructed from the inside out as follows:
drywall, plastic, 70mm insulated frame, plastic again, and lap siding nailed directly to the frame.
From the inside, the roof seems to be: drywall, plastic, furring strips, roof truss (beams 45x195, cc 45, tongue and groove sheathing, and roofing felt
I need to fix the roof and of course want to replace the siding at the same time. Thinking of using the existing frame.
What changes do I need to make to the existing wall construction and roof structure?
Air gaps, battens, wind protection, installation layers, etc., add up...
Need a simple construction/build on the existing frame/roof
(Also thinking about "pumping" up the roof and trying to insert a wall plate on the existing wall plate to raise the roof height about 95-100 mm. Risks?)
