So, fast forward til the last week. Talking with the wife, and she came up with yet another Honey Do list, some of which involved covering an area of grass with something that will not allow weeds, grass, or other green stuff to come up through it.
Well, I said, rubber would do a nice job of keeping everything below it from coming up.
So, since I decided I still need roofing for the motor home, I figured, I would call the roofing company again.
In all honesty, I did not expect to find anyone there. However, someone did answer. Not the normal guys in the office, but, someone who normally works in the warehouse/yard.
Talked to him a little bit, and asked what a roll of this stuff would cost. $650. Seriously? Yup. Ok, I'll take a roll of it.
So, I went down there, with mask over my face, and picked up a roll, and brought it home.
It weighs about 321 lbs.
That means, a piece that is 10' x 25' will weigh about 80 lbs. I can live with that.
This TPO is not the thin junk that is normally used on an rv roof. A lot of the rv roofing TPO is about .025 in thickness. This stuff is designed for commercial roofing. It is .060 and is reinforced.
It won't tear nearly as quickly as the paper thin stuff normally used. I found that out watching the guy in Georgia that replaces rv roofing. Yippee for You Tube! Lol.
So, anyhow, I've now got a piece of covering for the motor home, so that means, I can move forward on that project. Yea, not happening this week, but it's coming.
1/4 of the $689 cost for the TPO will be figured into the cost of the rebuild, for now. If I use some later, I can add that cost later.
Yes, $689. State has to get their tax money, ya know.....
That means, I am adding $172.25 to the prior total of $9086.17, and we now stand at $9258.42.
Yup, inching toward the 10 grand mark.
