Starting my roof repairs tonight (with updates & photos)

Glad to hear it is all coming together for you.
There is a lot of awning servicing info online if ya do a little searching.

Update on our rig:
I went back and taped over and around all the roof penetrations with Sitka Seal, put it right over the lap seal after it set up for a week or so. The new roof is great. Cover goes on this weekend.
The only thing I wish I had done was put a curb around the air conditioning opening. If there is an issue later I will do that.
