This week, we’re serving to a Louisiana family get their residence back in shape following Hurricane Zeta prompted some key injury. We’re also getting their household geared up for the 2021 hurricane year.
The house belongs to David and Ruby LeBlanc of Lower Off, Louisiana.
Replacing the Mismatched Roof
The first job is replacing the roof. David and Ruby did their honest share of study and selected the best roof for their house from the Steel Roofing Alliance.
When the roofers arrive, they start off doing the job by trim about the eaves and setting up underlayment above the outdated shingles to get ready for the installation of the new steel roof.
Putting in New French Doorways
Then it is time for me and David to swap the outdated French doors with new ones.
The outdated French doorways were broken in the very last hurricane as the seal all around the glass frame was compromised, permitting humidity in between the glass panes.
We start out by eliminating the trim close to the doorway and then removing the outdated doors. After the new French doorways are set up, we appropriately insulate the room all over the door and finish it out by sealing in the new doors.
Developing Storm Panels for the Windows
To build the reusable storm panels, we begin by measuring the home windows they will deal with.
Future, we slice 50 %-inch plywood to size and drill quarter-inch mounting holes into the 4 corners of just about every panel and halfway throughout the longest span.
To lower any warping, we are also portray these panels. After they are dry, we set them in put temporarily so we can mark the place of the mounting holes on the window trim.
At each and every of these marks, we drill a 50 percent-inch diameter hole. This is so we can put in the flush-mount threaded fastener anchors.
Complete the Landscaping
There’s one far more undertaking to tackle for this few. Just after Hurricane Zeta rolled by means of, the LeBlancs’ landscape was ruined.
To carry some everyday living back into the front garden, we changed their crape myrtle trees.
Now, this property down by the bayou is beautiful and shielded from any storms that might appear its way.
